The new FinCEN Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Rule applies to certain residential transfers of real property to legal entities or trusts that are non-financed. But what does “residential real property” mean under the new AML rule?

Many assume that it applies only to standard family residences, however it’s broader than you might think:

Residential real property includes
• One-to-four family residences
• Vacant land intended for future one-to-four family construction
• A unit within a structure designed for one-to-four family occupancy, like an apartment
• A share in a co-op, or co-operative housing corporation

There’s a lot of talk of mortgage rates and house prices. But what does that mean for a homebuyer when it comes to payments?
