I’ve been hearing a new mortgage ad slogan: “Date the Rate, Marry the Home”. What is this all about, and should we adopt it too? It is catchy, and might garner us some new loan apps.

I am sending a revised Loan Estimate for an appraisal fee increase. What verbiage do I use to justify that the appraisal transfer invoice shows the fee is now $575 versus the $430 which was initially disclosed. This is an appraisal transfer from another lender., and I am not sure what the correct verbiage would be for this change.

If I am making an informational post about what mortgage points are and I state, "Each point typically costs 1% of your total loan amount and can reduce your interest rate by a fraction (usually 0.25%)," is that technically a method of determining a finance charge and subject to additionaldisclosures per section 1026.16?
I should note that this post is an explanation of what discount points are, and not necessarily an advertisement for a specific product, but also I'm not sure there are carveouts from the provision. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

If our policy is to not disclose Title Insurance on loans less than $300,000, could a Change in Circumstances such as an error allow us toredisclose with title insurance, if this can be done within 3 days of being notified of the error? If so, would this cause the closing date to be moved further out?

I have a question regarding the right of rescission. On a future advance loan, does the right to rescind apply? The original loan was for $75,000 and secured by their the borrower's principal dwelling. They've paid the note down to $35,000. The new note is a future advance on their property and the note will be for $35,000.
I think the right to rescind should apply since it is a new advance, even though the total loan amount is less than the original loan amount. I'm new to compliance and we do not do many future advance loans. We are in Missouri, if that matters.
