#2: Introductions
Ill stop every once in awhile and ask questions
Sticky notes around the room
Restrooms are XXX
Please silence your phones.
If youre not big on taking notes, Ill show you where to get this presentation online.
#6: What is going on in the mortgage industry?
- QMs, ATR, TRID (spells dirt backwards)
- Watch
Something had to be done.
Lenders werent policing themselves.
Consumers werent policing themselves. Buying my Toyota Matrix.
A lot of people approach home ownership the same way that Toyota salesman approached auto sales. Most people come into my office and say, How much home can I afford? When, for most people, the more important question is, What payment are you comfortable with?
- Me making $50K/year versus a person w/ 3 children making $75K/year.
- All these rules and regulations were designed to police both lenders and consumers. Whats been the result? Is it working?
The laws are extremely complex. Technology. Appraisal disclosures vs LE vs CD. Mail vs email.
Are the regulations too tight? Are there people who should be getting loans that cant qualify? Sure... Paperwork often directly related to affluence.
Are we still giving loans to people we shouldnt give loans to? Yes, sometimes we are.
The same rules apply to everyone
DTI:
$60,000 gross @ 45% = $2250/mo debt
25% Federal tax
6.2% social security
1.45% FICA
$3367.50 net
$2250/mo debt
= $1117.50
$240,000 gross @ 45% = $9000/mo debt
33% Federal tax
6.2% social security (up to $117K)
1.45% FICA
$12,505.50 net
9000/mo debt
= $3505.50
#7: This is not 2005. Its a painful process. Everything is triple checked.
The guy that has to close 10/31.
I need EVERYTHING 10 days before closing.
#8: A conforming loan is any loan that conforms to guidelines set forth by FNMA and FHLMC.
A conventional loan is any loan that is NOT insured by the US government.
A non-conforming loan does NOT conform to guidelines set forth by FNMA and FHLMC.
#9: For whatever reason these loans dont meet saleable guidelines.
Also called portfolio loans. Washington Federal, First Federal, Sound Community Bank.
These are gonna be your one offs.
Remember, GSEs determine guidelines for other loans. With the exception of credit overlays, were all selling the same product.
We talked about how government and conforming loans should have similar interest rates, right?
Stick with the car analogy
ALL that flies out the window with non-conforming loans.
#10: We have our own jumbo programs
Correspondent relationships
And brokered relationships
#11: These at least at NAF are going to be brokered.
Funky people are people who dont fit into the FNMA/FHLMC/Government Mortgage mold
These are people in the past that we called Alt-A or Subprime borrowers.
Does everybody understand QM and ATR?
Ability to Repay
Verify credit history, income, assets, employment, mortgage payments, and other debt obligations.
Qualified Mortgage
Points and fees < 3% of loan amount
No risky features (interest only, balloon payments)
Loan term of 30 years or less
Lender consideration of income, assets, and debts
Debt-to-income ratio of 43% or less OR saleable loan (FNMA/FHLMC, government)
But theyve changed a lot. I think days of giving someone a mortgage who has no down payment, a 500 FICO, and 1-day out of BK are over.
Who are these people?
Recent major derogatory credit: Bankruptcy, foreclosure, short sale.Chapter 7 BK: 4y CC / 2y FHA/VAForeclosure: 7y CC / 2y VA / 3y FHAWe have a lender that will allow only 1y from BK/FC. Requires 20-25% down, great credit score, cash reserves
#12: Off the grid even if not entirely
Were not talking about geodesic domes OR houses made out of shipping containers
Any questions about conventional non-conforming?
#13: Bastards of the lending industry
A single entity (person, investor) cant own more than a certain percentage of the total units (10% for projects w/ 21 or more units)
Commercial space cant exceed 25%
No timeshares
HOA cant be involved in litigation
HOA has to have a certain amount of insurance.
Only a certain percentage of owners can be delinquent in their HOA dues.
Not all condos are eligible.
FNMA/FHLMC has their own approval process
FHA has their own process
VA has their own process
Just b/c a condo will work for FNMA/FHLMC, doesnt mean it will work for FHA.
VA is a different process 3 in Clallam Co and 2 in Jefferson Co
USDA uses FHAs list.
#14: Many lenders do not lend on manufactured homes. Period.
L&I inspections? Look for things that couldnt possibly be original to the home.
Remember when we talked about credit overlays? Thats a really popular overlay. FNMA allows manuf. FHA/VA allow manuf. Many lenders do not.
#15: Renovation loans can be either FHA or conventional loans.
Same underwriting standards, down payment requirements, etc.
Finance the cost of renovation/repairs.
It can be really obvious. Or not!
Use for:
Listings that otherwise would be cash only
Dated listings
Love the neighborhood/hate the house
Cant find what the buyer wants
Tips:
Work w/ a renovation specialist
SHOW buyers what they could do w/ the property
#16: solar heating systems, including solar systems for heating water for domestic use,
solar heating and cooling systems,
caulking and weather-stripping,

Jefferson acquisition limit is $305K
Questions about DPA or MCC?
#19: If I cant help your customer, I probably know someone who can.
