Answer to Question 1

RESPA was enacted to regulate and reform lending practices and closing and settlement procedures. The goal was to ensure that consumers are advised of all the costs related to the real estate transaction in easily understood terms. Another goal is to give regularity to the settlement process and to thwart unfair and fraudulent practices.

Answer to Question 2

The HUD-1 Settlement Statement is the summary of the financial transaction for the purchase and sale of the real estate. It is typically prepared by the closing agent, but all of the parties have some statutory responsibility to provide the seller or the buyer with an estimate of closing costs during the pendency of the sale.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
