Reporting of purchased loans on HMDA. We have started purchasing loans and now need to report them on HMDA. For the section on Loan Amt - it specifies if it is a home purchase loan that we purchased 0 we enter the unpaid principal balance of the loan at time of purchase but it does not reference specifically what we use as the balance Original or unpaid prin balance)if the purchased loan is a home improvement or a refi. We have a consultant tells us that we report them all (purchase, refi or h/i) with the unpaid principle balance but in reading the HMDA guidelines and regs I am not sure if that is correct. Can you help clarify this for me?

If an applicant starts to apply for a mortgage loan online and early in the process authorizes a credit bureau to be pulled but then never submits the application, are we required to do anything with the information such as send a letter of notice of incomplete application and report on HMDA LAR or is this considered an inquiry that never resulted in a HMDA application?

I am unsure if I should report on my HMDA LAR several different loans we have done. The first has the collateral of a stock certificate but the loan was done to purchase a home, another has a perpetual loan agreement as collateral but was done to purchase a home, the last was done by a church to purchase a home they are using as a group home which isn't really considered anyone's primary residence.

An Initial loan is a multiple advance temporary loan for the purchase of a home $50,000 plus $25,000 Straight Line of Credit to improve the home. The first loan is not HMDA reportable due to temporary. Is the re-write of that loan a refinance (since the new loan satisfies and replaces the first) or is it a purchase (as a construction loan would be a purchase since it is not on the LAR yet?)
