Fair Housing Act, credit discrimination provisions. Limits FHA’s lending coverage to “residential real estate-related transactions,” defined as loans for purchasing, constructing, improving, repairing, or maintaining a dwelling, or loans secured by residential real estate. This is the statutory boundary that defines the gap: FHA’s effects test reaches mortgage credit but not auto loans, credit cards, student loans, small business credit, or commercial lending.
