Watkins Consulting Group invites you to attend a very special Lunch & Learn event featuring Ariel Dobkin, Financial Analyst/Advisor at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. New consumer protection measures in the area of mortgage lending are in place. The “Ability-to-Repay” and “Qualified Mortgage” rules were intended to focus the mortgage lending community on a “back-to-basics” approach. One that requires reasonable, good faith cost estimates and common sense lending decisions.

These new regulations are not only about protecting consumers. The regulations are also intended to provide long term benefit to the mortgage market.

Come and learn the about the facts vs. fiction of these new mortgage lending rules from Ms. Dobkin. She will dispel common myths as well as identify certain benefits to mortgage lenders embedded within these regulations. Participants will have an opportunity ask questions and discuss their concerns first-hand with this leading expert.

A special thank you to the CFPB
