35 Credit History Credit Concerns Not Always Recognized by AUS Obtain documentation Examples Evidence why you are omitting a debt Taxes and insurance for properties owned free and clear Co-maker notes Debts evidenced on paystub or disclosed during initial application Paid mortgage tradeline with paid P&L noted in the comments section Significant derogatory events Financial mismanagement Extenuating circumstances? Does my investor allow? Re-established credit requirements met? 34
36 Credit History Credit Scores Minimum score requirement? Non-traditional credit borrowers (without a credit score) will be eligible for AUS submission with Fannie Mae s Desktop Underwriter 10.0 Two non-traditional credit references must be reviewed and one must be housing related See Selling Guide B : Verification and Documentation of Alternative Credit Within definition Genworth Simply Underwrite SM 620 minimum credit score No additional requirements with valid AUS Approve/Accept Eligible recommendation Genworth Standard Guidelines (Non-AUS) Minimum of three (3) tradelines / credit references Open or closed That have been evaluated at least 12 months Lender, Investor, GSE requirement met? 35
37 Authorized User Accounts - Fannie Mae 36
38 Authorized User Accounts - Freddie Mac 37
39 Credit History Credit History Trended Credit Data Additional information can be found in Fannie Mae s DU Version 10.0 Frequently Asked Questions Credit reports used with Version 10.0 must include trended credit data For now, lenders do not need to analyze trended data Borrowers making minimum monthly revolving account payments will still be able to receive an Approve recommendation from DU 38
40 Credit History Disputed Information AUS Loans DU will provide message if impactful and further action necessary LPA will provide Invalid recommendation if impactful Manually underwritten typically significant items must be resolved prior to approval Inaccurate Information Determine impact (Was AUS credit score impacted?) Obtain Written explanation from Borrower Credit report supplement New credit report Creditor documentation Manually underwritten loans Reporting company confirms inaccuracy Credit report unreliable Traditional credit evaluation without regard to inaccurate information Investors often require the inaccuracy be cleared and resolved before loan approval 39
41 Credit History Minimum Payments Usually on credit report If not on credit report Creditor supplied documentation Revolving, DU and LPA allow using the greater of: 5% of outstanding balance $10 Open Ended Accounts Sufficient funds for repayment plus funds to close and reserves Yes Inclusion not required No Inclusion of 5% outstanding balance required for Freddie Mac Cannot close loan for Fannie Mae Third party responsibility Example: employer reimbursement Document with letter from employer/responsible party 40
42 Credit History Credit Card Financing for Application Costs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac No more than 2% of loan amount Sufficient liquid funds, or Recalculated credit card payment Update credit card balance See Fannie Mae Guide B , Credit Card Financing See Freddie Mac Guide : Assets eligibility and documentation requirements 41
43 Credit History Installment Debts Evidence of payment amount required No estimating Deferred Installment Debts Must include Monthly payment Payment letter Forbearance agreement Creditor supplied information 42
44 Credit History Student Loans Freddie Mac The actual payment, if known, or 1% of the outstanding balance otherwise Fannie Mae - whether deferred, in forbearance, or in repayment (not deferred) lender must Use the greater of the actual payment documented (from credit report or verified from student loan lender or documentation supplied by the borrower) or 1% of the outstanding Balance Lenders may use the lower fully amortizing payment if: The known payment is <1% of the outstanding balance and The payment will not adjust, and The loan will fully amortize 43
45 Credit History Co-Signed Loans Contingent liability Examples Co-signed note Business debt guaranty Include if borrower qualifies with it Most conservative approach Situations allowing exclusion in debt ratio Primary obligator pays as agreed upon Twelve months history Situations requiring inclusion in debt ratio Obligator s payment not documented Sufficient history not established Delinquency Business debt not paid from separate business account Cannot be borrower s personal account Cannot be business account from which personal debts are paid 44
46 Credit History Recent Credit Inquiries Definition Freddie Mac: within past 120 days Fannie Mae: not specific Confirm if new credit obtained Do you see the new account on credit report? Was it disclosed on application? Obtain verification Freddie Mac documentation examples Creditor letter Signed borrower letter Include in ratios Evaluate risk Represents higher risk Highest risk in combination with: Recently opened accounts Delinquent Credit report reason codes 45
47 Collateral Errors Occupancy 46
48 Collateral Occupancy Must make sense Review file documentation for consistency Types Primary residence Second home Investment property Number of days to take occupancy 47
49 Collateral Use AUS Reports for additional information Fannie Mae s Collateral Underwriter rolled out in January 2015 Heed all Red Flag messages Visit Fannie Mae s Website for additional information Freddie Mac Home Value Explorer (HVE ) Loan Collateral Advisor SM 48
50 Capital Errors Assets to Close, Borrower s Own Funds, Gift Funds, Reserves and Large Deposits 49
51 Capital Excessive Seller Contributions Follow GSE, Investor and MI Guidelines Loans with payment abatements are ineligible Exception condo/hoa dues up to 12 months but amounts must included as IPC Check for guideline overlays See guidelines on next slides 50
52 Fannie Mae 51
53 Freddie Mac 52
54 Capital Large Deposits A large deposit is any deposit that is 50% or more of the total qualifying income being used to qualify Source any account opened in most recent 90 days if using VODs Asset statements look for one or two month seasoning depending on recommendation Investors often are more conservative so check guidelines Fannie Mae Single Family Selling Guide B , Depository Accounts (05/27/2014) Deposits Which May Indicate Borrowed Funds Must Be Investigated. 53
55 Capital Reserves Follow applicable guidelines Enter assets into AUS system Document reserves Including all manual overlays that apply Genworth guidelines: Simply Underwrite loans: reserves are determined by the AUS All other loans: consult Genworth guidelines 54
56 Capital FUNDS AVAILABLE TO CLOSE FUNDS REQUIRED TO CLOSE Amount verified in Bank Accounts + Equity from Real Property + Gifts + Sale of Stocks and Bonds + Closing Costs Paid by Seller + Other Assets = Total Funds Available to Close Purchase Price (or refinance debt to be paid off) - Earnest Money Deposit - Other Financing - Loan Amount Applied for + Closing Costs + Judgments, collections and debt to be paid prior to or at closing. + Required Reserves = Total Required Funds 55
57 Capital Assets to Close Cash to close Reserves LPA/DU Verify funds required Best practice: only enter needed funds Manual calculation Additional reserves need to be calculated when: Subject is a second home/investment And borrower owns other second home or investment properties Changing for Fannie Mae with DU 10.0 Other funds necessary for transaction Debts paid at close 30-day accounts, if applicable Credit card financing, if applicable Collections and charge-off Multi family owner occupied, second homes and investment transactions - see guidelines Judgements or garnishments 56

61 Capital Borrower s Own Funds Freddie Mac No requirement for >80% LTV loans where: Primary residence and Gift or gift of equity received from eligible donor used as source of funds or Employer Assisted Homeownership (EAH) Benefit is used as source of funds Some >80% LTV loans secured by manufactured loans no longer require borrower s own funds in transaction Genworth follows the GSE guidelines on borrower s own funds 60
62 Gift Funds: Fannie Mae 61
63 Gift Funds: Documentation Requirement Gifts must be evidenced by a letter signed by the donor, called a gift letter which: Specifies the dollar amount of the gift; Specifies the date the funds were transferred; Includes the donor s statement that no repayment is expected; and Indicates the donor s name, address, telephone number, and relationship to the borrower When a gift from a relative or domestic partner is being pooled with the borrower s funds to make up the required minimum cash down payment, the following items must also be included: A certification from the donor stating that he or she has lived with the borrower for the past 12 months and will continue to do so in the new residence Documents that demonstrate a history of borrower and donor shared residency The donor s address must be the same as the borrower s address Examples include, but are not limited to, a copy of a driver s license, a bill, or a bank statement 62
64 Gift Funds: Acceptable Donor A gift can be provided by: A relative, defined as the borrower s spouse, child, or other dependent, or by any other individual who is related to the borrower by blood, marriage, adoption, or legal guardianship; or A fiancé, fiancée, or domestic partner The donor may not be, or have any affiliation with, the builder, the developer, the real estate agent, or any other interested party to the transaction. 63

67 Capital Reserves Fannie Mae DU/DO Version 10.0 Reserve Updates 66
68 Capital: Fannie Mae Borrowers with Multiple Financed Properties Reserve Requirements DU will determine the reserves required for the other residential financed properties (excluding the borrower s principal residence and the subject property) The reserve amount will be determined by applying a specific percentage to the aggregate of the outstanding unpaid principal balance (UPB) for all *mortgages and HELOC s disclosed on the application The percentage is based on the number of financed properties *If marked paid by close, omit or if associated with subject property, not included. 67
69 Capital: Fannie Mae Borrowers with Multiple Financed Properties 68
70 Capital: Freddie Mac Multiple Financed Properties 69
