The SAFE Act defines a nontraditional mortgage as all of the following except:
A.
A 30-year fixed rate mortgage with a 25% down payment.
B.
A payment option ARM with a down payment of 5%.
C.
15-year mortgage with an interest rate of 10%.
D.
An interest-only mortgage.
The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
The SAFE Act defines a "nontraditional mortgage" as any loan product other than a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Nontraditional loans include adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), interest-only loans, payment option ARMs, and other products with features outside the standard fixed-rate structure.
“Nontraditional mortgage product means any mortgage product other than a thirty-year fixed-rate mortgage.”
— SAFE Act, 12 USC § 5102(7); NMLS UST Outline
Thus, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with a 25% down payment is not nontraditional; all the other examples are.
