質問 # 92
Which of the following statements is true regarding a fixed-rate mortgage?
- A. The rate is fixed for 30 years with no adjustment.
- B. The rate is fixed for 10 years and then adjusts every year thereafter.
- C. The rate is fixed for 15 years and is followed by a single balloon payment.
- D. The rate is fixed for 5 years and is followed by a step-up for 5 years.
正解：A
解説：
A fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) is a mortgage loan where the interest rate remains constant for the entire term of the loan, regardless of changes in market interest rates. These loans typically come in terms of 15, 20, or 30 years, with 30-year fixed-rate mortgages being the most common in the U.S.
"A fixed-rate mortgage is one in which the interest rate remains the same for the entire term of the loan. The most common term is 30 years. This provides borrowers with a stable and predictable monthly payment over the life of the loan."
- SAFE Mortgage Loan Originator Test Prep Guide (NMLS-approved)
"Unlike adjustable-rate mortgages, fixed-rate mortgages do not change over time. The interest rate is locked in at the time of loan origination."
- U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Mortgage Basics Guide The other options describe adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) or balloon mortgages, which are distinctly different products:
* Option A: Describes a type of step-rate mortgage, not a fixed-rate loan.
* Option B: Refers to a 10/1 ARM, not a fixed-rate mortgage.
* Option C: Refers to a balloon mortgage, where a large payment is due at the end of the term.
Therefore, only Option D accurately describes a true fixed-rate mortgage product.

質問 # 93
When a mortgage loan originator (MLO) receives information from a borrower that indicates potential employment fraud, the MLO should:
- A. Take no additional action unless the borrower admits that they submitted false employment information.
- B. Report the information to the company's compliance officer.
- C. Take no additional action because it is not confirmed.
- D. Report the information to another MLO for their opinion.
正解：B
解説：
If an MLO suspects fraud, they have an obligation to report it to the company's compliance officer or appropriate supervisor for investigation. Ignoring, failing to report, or handling it informally is not acceptable.
"If an MLO suspects fraud, the MLO must report it to their company's compliance officer or other responsible person as required by company policy and law."

質問 # 94
Which of the following statements defines the term "business day" in a mortgage rescission under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA)?
- A. Every day except Sunday and legal holidays
- B. Any days that employees may access the office to work
- C. Every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
- D. Any days except Saturdays and Sundays
正解：A
解説：
Under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), for mortgage rescission purposes, a business day is defined as every day except Sunday and legal holidays. This definition applies to the three-business-day right of rescission period, during which a borrower can cancel certain refinance or home equity transactions.
* The right of rescission allows the borrower three business days after signing the loan documents to cancel the loan without penalty.
References:
* Truth in Lending Act (TILA), 12 CFR §1026.2(a)(6)
* CFPB Guidelines on rescission rights
質問 # 95
An easement:
- A. is a right to cross or otherwise use someone else's land for a specified purpose.
- B. is a mortgage modification.
- C. allows a loan applicant to close on a loan even if all the stipulations have not been met.
- D. allows a borrower to make less than the required payments without going through a full mortgage modification.
正解：A
解説：
An easement is a legal right granted to one party to cross or use another party's land for a specific purpose, such as for utility lines, access roads, or water drainage. Easements are commonly granted in property transactions and are recorded in the public records.
* Easements are unrelated to mortgage modifications (A) or payment reductions (D).
References:
* Real Estate Law on property easements
* HUD Guidelines on easements in property transactions
質問 # 96
Which of the following activities is an example of redlining in mortgage lending?
- A. The mortgage loan originator convincing the underwriter to move their loan file to the front of the line or "redline" it
- B. The act of the mortgage lender putting a "red line" under the borrower's name in a file to indicate they are a substandard applicant
- C. The systematic denial of various services to residents of specific, often racially associated, neighborhoods or communities, either explicitly or through the selective raising of prices
- D. Ensuring that all creditworthy borrowers are afforded equal treatment when applying for a mortgage loan
正解：C
解説：
Redlining is a discriminatory practice in mortgage lending where certain neighborhoods, often those predominantly inhabited by minority groups, are systematically denied access to mortgages, insurance, or other financial services. Lenders would use literal red lines on maps to designate these areas as high-risk or undesirable, refusing to offer loans or offering them at inflated interest rates.
* Redlining is a violation of fair lending laws such as the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA). Both of these federal laws prohibit discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, family status, or disability in housing and credit transactions.
* This practice has historically contributed to racial segregation and economic inequality in the U.S., as minority groups were systematically excluded from access to homeownership and wealth-building opportunities.

質問 # 97
The upfront premium charged on an FHA mortgage transaction to protect a creditor in the event of borrower default is an example of:
- A. optional credit life insurance.
- B. government mortgage insurance.
- C. private mortgage insurance
- D. force-placed hazard insurance.
正解：B
解説：
The upfront premium charged on an FHA mortgage is an example of government mortgage insurance.
This upfront mortgage insurance premium (UFMIP) is required for FHA loans and protects the lender (creditor) in the event of borrower default. FHA loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a government agency.
* Private mortgage insurance (D) is used for conventional loans, while optional credit life insurance (A) and force-placed hazard insurance (B) are unrelated to FHA loans.

* FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook
* HUD Guidelines on UFMIP
質問 # 98
Which of the following practices is a prudent and reasonable cybersecurity precaution regarding laptop computers?
- A. A laptop should never be taken out of the office.
- B. A laptop should automatically shut down and require a new login if not used for a period of time.
- C. A laptop should be shared by no more than five people.
- D. Passwords should only be shared with a direct supervisor.
正解：B
解説：
A best practice in cybersecurity is to set computers to automatically lock, shut down, and require a password or login after a period of inactivity. This helps prevent unauthorized access if the device is left unattended.
"Locking computers when not in use and requiring passwords after periods of inactivity is an essential safeguard to protect sensitive consumer data."
- FTC, Cybersecurity for Small Business; GLBA Safeguards Rule
Other options are not best practices: laptops may need to leave the office, should not be shared, and passwords should never be shared with anyone.

質問 # 99
The debt-to-income analysis should assess a borrower's total monthly housing related payments as a percentage of the:
- A. net monthly income
- B. taxable income.
- C. gross monthly income.
- D. loan amount.
正解：C
解説：
In a debt-to-income (DTI) analysis, the borrower's total monthly housing-related payments (including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, and any homeowner association fees) are assessed as a percentage of their gross monthly income. Lenders use the gross income, which is the borrower's income before taxes and deductions, to determine affordability and creditworthiness.
* Net monthly income (A) and taxable income (C) are not used in standard DTI calculations.
* The loan amount (D) is unrelated to the DTI calculation.
References:
* Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac Guidelines on DTI ratios
* CFPB Guidelines on Ability-to-Repay and DTI
質問 # 100
Which of the following characteristics is unique to a home equity line of credit (HELOC)?
- A. A borrower is permitted to sell the property without paying off the loan.
- B. A borrower is permitted to borrow more than the property is worth.
- C. A borrower is permitted to make interest-only payments for the term of the loan.
- D. A borrower is permitted to receive additional advances.
正解：D
解説：
A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is a revolving form of credit secured by the equity in the borrower's home. What is unique about a HELOC, compared to traditional closed-end loans, is that the borrower can take multiple draws or advances up to the credit limit during the draw period.
"A HELOC is a line of credit extended to a homeowner that uses the borrower's home as collateral. The distinguishing feature of a HELOC is that the borrower may take additional advances at his or her discretion, up to the approved credit limit, during the draw period."
- SAFE MLO National Test Study Guide
Other answers:
Interest-only payments can occur in some loan types but are not unique to HELOCs.
Borrowing more than the property is worth (being "underwater") is not allowed.
Selling the property without paying off the loan is not permitted; the HELOC must be satisfied at sale.

質問 # 101
Which of the following loan types may be considered a qualified loan under ability-to-pay rules
- A. A loan with negative amortization
- B. A loan with a balloon payment
- C. A mortgage with an adjustable rate
- D. An interest-only mortgage
正解：C
解説：
Under the Ability-to-Repay (ATR) Rule and Qualified Mortgage (QM) standards, mortgages with adjustable rates can be considered qualified mortgages if they meet certain criteria, such as having fully amortizing payments and adhering to limits on points and fees. Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) are qualified as long as the borrower's ability to repay is assessed using the maximum rate that could apply in the first five years.
* Loans like interest-only mortgages (A), balloon payment loans (B), and negative amortization loans (C) are not typically considered qualified mortgages because they carry higher risks of default.
References:
* CFPB Ability-to-Repay and Qualified Mortgage Rule
* Dodd-Frank Act standards for Qualified Mortgages
質問 # 102
A real estate broker overhears her buyer discussing what she believes to be illegal activities while on a phone conversation. The real estate broker notifies the buyer's mortgage loan originator (MLO) that the borrower may be using illegally acquired funds as down payment for this property. The MLO decides to report some suspicious cash deposit transactions found in the borrower's bank records. Under the Patriot Act, the MLO may discuss the filing of this report with which of the following parties, if any?
- A. All parties involved in the transaction
- B. The report Is not permitted to be discussed with any parties involved in the transaction.
- C. His loan processor
- D. The buyer's agent
正解：B
解説：
Under the USA Patriot Act, if a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) is filed due to potential illegal activities, the MLO (Mortgage Loan Originator) is prohibited from discussing the filing of the SAR with any parties involved in the transaction, including the buyer's agent, loan processor, or any other party. This prohibition ensures that the investigation is not compromised and that the confidentiality of the report is maintained.
* Discussing the SAR with any party is considered a violation of anti-money laundering (AML) rules.
References:
* USA Patriot Act, Anti-Money Laundering Provisions
* FinCEN Guidelines on SAR Confidentiality
質問 # 103
According to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA), when evaluating a loan applicant's credit worthiness, a creditor is permitted to decline a loan based on which of the following factors?
- A. An applicant has exercised his right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act
- B. An applicant's verified income after underwriting
- C. A description of an applicant's race
- D. An applicant's income is derived from public assistance
正解：B
解説：
Under ECOA, a creditor may decline a loan based on an applicant's inability to repay, as demonstrated by verified income and other underwriting criteria. It is illegal to consider race, receipt of public assistance, or exercise of consumer rights as a basis for denial.
"A creditor may consider verified income in evaluating creditworthiness. Discrimination based on race, public assistance, or exercise of rights under the Consumer Credit Protection Act is prohibited."
- 12 CFR § 1002.6, Regulation B (ECOA)

質問 # 104
Under the SAFE Act, which of the following individuals is not a "mortgage loan originator"?
- A. An individual who takes a loan application for compensation
- B. An individual who handles the collection of a mortgage payment from a consumer for compensation
- C. An individual who quotes interest rates to a consumer for compensation
- D. An individual who negotiates credit terms on behalf of a consumer for compensation
正解：B
解説：
The SAFE Act defines a mortgage loan originator (MLO) as someone who takes a residential mortgage loan application and offers or negotiates terms for compensation or gain. An individual who only handles the collection of mortgage payments is not acting as an MLO under the Act.
"Mortgage loan originator means an individual who (i) takes a residential mortgage loan application; and (ii) offers or negotiates terms of a residential mortgage loan for compensation or gain. The term does not include an individual who only performs administrative or clerical tasks or who only collects mortgage payments."
- SAFE Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5102(4); NMLS Uniform State Content Outline

SAFE Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5102(4)
質問 # 105
The SAFE Act requires a mortgage loan originator (MLO) to:
- A. Maintain a valid unique identifier issued by the AARMR.
- B. Retake the SAFE MLO National Test after failing to maintain a valid license for a period of four years.
- C. Register with the Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS).
- D. Obtain and annually maintain a license.
正解：D
解説：
The SAFE Act requires all state-licensed mortgage loan originators (MLOs) to obtain and maintain an active license through their state's regulatory agency, including meeting annual renewal and continuing education requirements.
"Each mortgage loan originator must obtain a license from, and annually renew a license with, the State in which the mortgage loan originator maintains a unique identifier."
- SAFE Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5104(a)(1)-(2)
AARMR and CSBS administer the NMLS system, but licenses are maintained through state agencies. While re-taking the national test is required after some periods of inactivity, it is not required specifically after failing to maintain a license for four years unless mandated by the state.

質問 # 106
The ability to originate loans under temporary authority applies to which of the following?
- A. Previously licensed real estate brokers
- B. An MLO who has scheduled their test but not completed it
- C. An MLO who is still waiting for their credit check to be completed
- D. Previously registered mortgage loan originators (MLOs)
正解：D
解説：
Temporary authority to originate loans applies to registered MLOs (from a depository institution) who become employed by a state-licensed mortgage company, as well as to state-licensed MLOs seeking licensure in another state, provided they meet all SAFE Act requirements.
"Temporary authority to originate loans applies to... registered mortgage loan originators seeking state licensure and state-licensed MLOs seeking licensure in a new state."
- SAFE Act, 12 U.S.C. § 5117; NMLS Temporary Authority Guidelines
It does not apply to real estate brokers or those who have not passed required testing/background checks.

質問 # 107
When preparing a corrected Closing Disclosure, under which of the following conditions is a three-day waiting period required before a loan consummation?
- A. If a revision is needed to the consumer's contact Information
- B. The addition of an escrow account
- C. If the APR changes within the acceptable tolerance
- D. The addition of a prepayment penalty
正解：D
解説：
A corrected Closing Disclosure (CD) requires a new three-day waiting period before consummation if the following major changes occur:
* The APR changes beyond the allowable tolerance (which is not the scenario here; hence, Option C is incorrect).
* The loan product changes (e.g., switching from a fixed-rate to an adjustable-rate mortgage).
* A prepayment penalty is added, which is the correct answer in this case. A prepayment penalty can significantly impact the borrower's ability to repay the loan early without incurring additional costs, which is why this triggers a new waiting period.
* Changes like the addition of an escrow account (A) or revisions to contact information (D) do not typically require the three-day waiting period, as they do not materially alter the terms of the loan in a way that would affect the borrower's decision to proceed.
References:
* TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule (TRID)
* 12 CFR Part 1026 (Regulation Z)
質問 # 108
It is acceptable for a lender to request a co-applicant in which of the following situations?
- A. The borrower will not qualify for the loan on their own.
- B. The borrower's future income is dependent on the co-applicant.
- C. The co-applicant is gifting money to the borrower to make a down payment on a purchase-money mortgage
- D. The co-applicant will be residing in the house with the borrower.
正解：A
解説：
It is acceptable for a lender to request a co-applicant if the borrower will not qualify for the loan on their own based on their income, credit score, or other financial factors. A co-applicant, such as a spouse or family member, can help strengthen the application by adding additional income or improving the credit profile, which may help the borrower meet the lender's qualification requirements.
* Other situations (B, C, D) such as future income, residency, or gifting funds do not necessarily require a co-applicant and are not acceptable reasons to mandate one.
