For many lenders and their counsel the process of recording instruments with the Federal Aviation Administration (the "FAA") and registering aircraft in the United States needlessly remains a mystery.

If a director has a line of credit in his business with a partner of $400,000 and other loans totalling 100,000 (not his mortgage) would he be in violation if he wanted another loan? The credit line is not fully used but it is up to $350,000 used.

Can the bank set preapproved lending guidance on insiders? We would like to set an aggregate lending limit to each bank insider that would not need board approval if it met certain underwriting guidelines such as maximum DTI, minimum DSC, etc. I believe we would have these guidance levels approved yearly by the board. I am trying to make sure that we are not in violation of anything by doing this.

Please clarify if the following transaction would be considered a refinance or a purchase. We have a newly elected Director on our board. His home loan was approved before he became a director. After he was appointed to the board, his home loan was modified. Should this have come before the board to obtain approval?
