And simply put, DOS Clauses are simply written into loan docs and have to do with banking regulations nothing to do with anything illegal. In other words a business says if you want to do business with us this is the way you do it, not we have the power to throw you into jail for not doing it.

For anyone who still thinks it is a federal crime and loan fraud to sell subject to a mortgage with a due on sale, consider this . . .

Lines 203 and 503 of a HUD-1 Settlement Statement (yes, the Housing and Urban Developement form commissioned by RESPA, a federal law dealing with loans) and used at virtually every closing states:

“Existing loans taken subject to”

Hmmmmmm . . .

Why would that be on a federally commissioned form if it were illegal to take subject to?

Perhaps like the I.R.S. - Posted by Jim V

Perhaps it is similar to the I.R.S. and miscellaneous income. It might not be legal, but they do want it accounted for.
Just a thought.
