Mortgage servicers use lender-placed insurance (LPI) to protect the
collateral on mortgages when borrower-purchased homeowners or flood
insurance coverage lapses. The 2007-2009 financial crisis resulted
in an increased prevalence of LPI. Because LPI premiums are
generally higher than those for borrower-purchased coverage, state
insurance regulators and consumer groups have raised concerns about
costs to consumers. This book addresses the extent to which LPI is
used; stakeholder views on the cost of LPI; and state and federal
oversight of LPI. Furthermore, this book evaluates the financial
impact of the LPI market upon Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
(collectively, the Enterprises); and determines whether the Federal
Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), in its role as the Enterprises'
conservator, should undertake additional LPI-related actions.
