2 Student Loans in Forbearance No current section Student Loans in Forbearance If a student loan is deferred and repayment is scheduled to begin within twelve months from the date of the mortgage loan closing, the anticipated monthly obligation must be included in the debt ratio, unless written evidence that the debt will be deferred to a period outside this time-frame, is provided. Notes: Student loans in forbearance are technically in default and must always be included in the borrower s debt ratios. Student loans cannot be used towards the transaction as either income or assets. If the RMCR or In-file Credit Report does not reflect a monthly payment amount, a copy of the Note or a letter from the creditor must be used to determine the monthly payment amount. FHA Right of First Refusal for PUDs (PUD Review not Required on FHA Transactions) Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) PUDs do not require pre-approval by FHA or the underwriter Note: PUDs with Rights of First Refusal are not eligible for FHA financing, per SunTrust Mortgage guidelines.

A residential development should be processed as a PUD if it has the following minimum characteristics: a homeowner association that holds either title in fee or a lease of prescribed length on the common area, mandatory membership of all unit owners (or units) in the association, the right of all unit owners to participate by vote in the operation of the association, lien supported assessment of the members to meet the association s budgeted operating costs (special assessments may be handled differently), and the appraisal for a detached PUD must be ordered as a detached PUD, not as a single family residence.
