According to QM Rule points and fees limits, which statement is true about HUD-insured loans?

The main idea here is how the QM rules treat points and fees for loans that are insured by HUD. The QM framework sets a cap on points and fees for a loan to be considered a Qualified Mortgage, with the intent of ensuring the borrower's ability to repay isn’t undermined by excessive upfront costs. For government-backed loans like those insured by HUD, these loans are evaluated under QM standards, and if the points and fees exceed the allowed cap, the loan wouldn’t meet QM requirements. In that case, it would not be insured as a QM loan under the QM guidelines, which is why the statement that HUD will not insure loans exceeding the QM points and fees limits is the true one in this context. The other options conflict with the QM framework: either suggesting HUD would insure loans that exceed the cap, or claiming there is no limit, or implying HUD insures all loans regardless of QM limits.
