California Mortgage Lending

Recent updates to the course e-book

• Chapter 3: The Agency Law Disclosure. The updated statutory Agency Law Disclosure and confirmation provision went into effect the beginning of 2019. Both the content of the form and when it is to be used have been modified. Further, prior printings indicate the Agency Law Disclosure is not required on a lease with a term exceeding one year. However, lease transactions greater than one year are targeted transactions requiring the disclosure. For a thorough analysis of the new disclosure and confirmation practices, see the digital eBook version of the book.
• Chapter 72: Home mortgage interest deductions. The definition for principal residence on page 472 is partially obscured. It should read “The residential property where the homeowner resides a majority of the year.”
