The Maryland Net Tangible Benefit Worksheet serves as a critical tool in the refinancing process, ensuring borrowers in Maryland fully grasp the advantages and possible repercussions of replacing their existing mortgage loan with a new one. Mandated by the Commissioner of Financial Regulation under specific regulatory standards (COMAR 09.03.06.20 and COMAR 09.03.09.04), this document aims to promote transparency and protect consumers by requiring a detailed comparison between the current loan and the prospective loan. Borrowers are guided through a comprehensive assessment, including changes in interest rates, monthly payments, the loan's term, and other significant features such as the shift from an adjustable to a fixed rate or the elimination of negative amortization or balloon payment features. Additionally, it addresses refinancing's potential for cash-out benefits, foreclosure avoidance, and the consolidation of debt, among others. The form, which must be completed with typewritten or printed information, requires the borrower(s) to acknowledge understanding the costs, terms, and, most importantly, the net tangible benefits specific to their situation. It calls for the licensing and contact details of mortgage originators, lenders, and brokers involved, reinforcing the emphasis on accountability and consumer protection within the Maryland mortgage landscape.
