Redlining is the Practice of Denying or Limiting Financial Services to Certain Neighborhoods Based on Racial or Ethnic Composition without Regard to the Residents' Qualifications or Creditworthiness.
As an MLO, or anyone who manages an MLO, have you ever heard/said the following, or something similar to one of the following statements?
"I don't touch loans under a certain amount...why should I, they are just as much work as a larger loan and I don't make enough to deal with them."
"Loans under $(X) aren't worth my time."
"I have a minimum loan amount and I won't do anything under $(x)"
"I don't originate mortgage loans in that area."
These statements are a direct violation of Fair Lending Laws, specifically under HMDA/REG C & ECOA and are considered to be Redlining!!!
