Answer:
Commercial loans may certainly be subject to HMDA, but they must be a "home purchase loan" and secured by a dwelling, a home improvement loan or a refinancing where both the old and new loans are secured by a dwelling. Personal guarantees have nothing to do with HMDA. If you are wondering if guarantees that are collateralized by a dwelling make a loan subject to HMDA, the answer is no.
