7 Insurance Requirements 7

8 Hazard and Wind Insurance 8

9 Master Hazard and Wind Insurance Hazard coverage includes wind unless the policy specifically states excludes wind. Policy must include coverage for wind or a separate wind policy is needed If a separate wind policy is needed, the wind coverage must meet all the same requirements as the hazard insurance Coverage provided must be for all residential buildings and all insurable common elements and recreational facility structures. Policy must include a notice of cancellation of at least 10 days Master insurance policy must reflect the # of units that are insured under policy. 9

10 Hazard and Wind Insurance Continued An insurance policy that includes either of the following endorsements will ensure full insurable value replacement cost coverage: Replacement cost endorsement, under which the insurer agrees to pay up to, but no more than 100% of the property's insurable replacement cost, or Extended Replacement Cost the insurer agrees to pay more than the property s insurable replacement cost, or Guaranteed replacement cost endorsement, under which the insurer agrees to replace the property up to a specified percentage over the policy limit or agrees to replace the property regardless of the cost. 10

11 Hazard and Wind Insurance Continued Ineligible Characteristics If the dollar amount appears excessive or there are multiple names insured, policy may be a blanket insurance policy that covers multiple, unaffiliated HOAs or projects. Self insurance arrangements whereby the owners association is self insured or has banded together with other unaffiliated associations to self insure all of the general and limited common elements of various associations. 11

12 Insurance Hazard Individual Unit Owner Deductible may not exceed 5% of policy amount per building Attached: Hazard Individual Unit Owner policies are allowed for Fannie Mae and Non Agency loan products on attached condos as long as the legal recorded declaration and bylaws confirm individual hazard responsibility (please ensure this is included in the submission package delivered to Chase). Note: Freddie Mac does not allow Individual policies on attached condos Detached: Hazard Individual Unit Owners policies are allowed for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Non Agency loan products for detached condominium units as long as the legal recorded declaration and bylaws confirm individual hazard responsibility (please ensure this is included in the submission package delivered to Chase). Note: When homeowners carry their own hazard insurance policies on detached condominiums, please obtain proof of the HOA master hazard policy to include all common areas including building ordinance or law and liability if there are structures in the common areas. All information contained in the document(s) or example(s) on this page is fictitious Policy must contain replacement cost coverage 12

13 Special Endorsements Building Ordinance or law insurance coverage This coverage pays for additional construction costs incurred as the result of local building laws. It contains three coverages, which may be provided separately or together: Demolition pays to demolish the parts of the building which were undamaged in the loss but which have to be torn down due to building codes. Similar coverage is provided as Debris Removal for those portions that are damaged by a Covered Cause of Loss. Increased Cost of Construction pays to bring a building element up to current codes. For example, this could pay to replace aluminum wiring with copper, to add sprinklers, or to upgrade fire rated doors. Loss of Value or Contingent Liability pays for the cost of replacing that part of the building which was not damaged by the loss but which must be torn down due to code requirements If Building Ordinance or Law Endorsement coverage is not available, obtain confirmation from agent 13

14 Special Endorsements continued Building Ordinance or law insurance coverage This coverage is not required for: DU Refi Plus transactions LP Open Access Swimming pools New Construction projects When coverage is offered but HOA refuses to obtain, loan is not eligible for purchase, except as outlined below: If Building Ordinance or Law Endorsement coverage is not available, obtain confirmation from agent Not required on New Construction projects Attached PUDs Only if the master hazard insurance covers only the common elements and there is no Ordinance or Law Endorsement, project is eligible for Freddie Mac and Non-Agency only. 14

15 Special Endorsements continued Building Ordinance or law insurance coverage For Non-Agency loan products if the endorsement is offered by insurance agent but the HOA does not carry this endorsement the following restrictions apply: LTV/CLTV < 80% Unit must be primary residence or second home Limit 10% of the condo units (no more than 20% in MSA) can be originated without this endorsement Note: Delegated Non Agency transactions that do not have this endorsement must be submitted to Chase for project review. 15

17 Special Endorsements continued Boiler and Machinery/Equipment Breakdown Endorsement This coverage pays to repair or replace various types of systems or equipment due to breakdown, rupture, bursting, or artificially generated electric current. The policy coverage must provide the lesser of $2 million or the insurable value of the building(s) housing the boiler or machinery. When there is no dollar amount Chase will assume that coverage equals the hazard replacement cost. Boiler and Machinery may also be known as: Equipment Breakdown Mechanical Breakdown Systems Breakdown 17

19 Coinsurance Policies that contain a Coinsurance clause require that the insured property be insured for a specific percentage, typically 80%, 90% or 100%. The higher the % the higher the risk. An agreed amount endorsement or agreed value language waives coinsurance requirement and is required when policy contains a coinsurance clause. Chase can also accept an from insurance agent verifying that current insurance coverage amount is at least equal to replacement cost per most recent insurance appraisal of project. If the above are not available and the insurance agent used a valuation tool to determine replacement cost, please provide and Chase will review on a case by case basis. For Freddie Mac and non-agency loan products, when the hazard policy contains a co-insurance clause and an agreed amount endorsement is not available, the policy is still eligible if an is received from the insurance agent verifying there is no agreed amount endorsement. 19
