Some of it just crossed the lines in the 'name of consumer protection' but I think it was anything but that. They say it's easier for buyers to figure out - really? I don't think so & I've never had a buyer say this is 'too easy' for me.

I hope it is just revised. The CFPB just uncovered a large student loan fraud from a large servicer that cost $5 billion dollars in 5 years to borrowers. Reminded me of the Wall Street and Banking fraud in real estate. It will happen again without oversight.

As a Mortgage Banker ,Dodd-Frank has been slowly crippling the financial world. Over regulation's, strict (never bend) guidelines,virtually no programs allowed for excellent credit,great LTV, but tight on income. Recently lost a deal for $600K refinance with and 804 FICO on a $1.2million home. Not enough verifiable income. This deal should have been made. For me, Dodd-Frank has limited my income,due to the amount of commission I may earn on a deal. That would be like Realtors being told they can only list for 2%. Trump wants to get rid of it, Barny Frank even admitted that he had no idea the negative impact this had on the financial community. Let's all hope!

After some of the things I've discussed with my financial advisor, I hope it gets dismantled.  I was used to seeing the things that were there to help consumers, but the emergency liquidation of our money in banks when they have trouble is very concerning.

I have a feeling the new administration is going to take a close look at nearly everything that occurred the last 8 years or so but I am not sure we can predict exactly how it will react.  Completely dismantling would be a huge undertaking though.  I can see revisions.-Kasey

It needs some improvements, although it's supposedly preventing a repeat of the Great Depreciation of 2007-20011, I see student loan fraud and banks/insurance companies will always test "the perimeter" for escape hatches and  loop holes.

Restoring a modern version of Glass-Steagall is likely in order, as well as curing the bias and error in Dodd-Frank.  The bigger bomb on a short-fuse is likely the runaway Derivatives market, which Congress voted to not regulate.  Boom! (great line by Mark Baum/Steve Carell in "The Big Short")

I don't really understand all of Dodd-Frank, but I do see how it made it more difficult for family members to finance a home for a relative or friend. I do hope that it is revised for these type situations.
