The Review was conducted from November 2021 to July 2022 on mortgage loans originated between November 2021 and July 2022.

The Compliance Review included the following:

The Compliance Review did not include any federal, state or local laws, constitutional provisions, regulations or ordinances that are not expressly enumerated above. Furthermore, the findings reached by Consolidated Analytics are dependent upon its receiving complete and accurate data regarding the loans from loan originators and other third parties upon which Consolidated Analytics is relying in reaching such findings.
Valuation Review
Consolidated Analytics performed a “Valuation Review,” which included the following:
| a. | Review original appraisal, determination that property is in “average” condition or better, or property requires cosmetic improvements (as defined by the appraiser) that do not affect habitability. Should an area of concern be identified with the condition of the property, Consolidated Analytics will alert Client. |
| b. | Review appraisal, determination that property is completely constructed and appraisal is on an “as is basis,” or property is identified as not completely constructed by originating appraiser. |
| c. | Review and determine if the appraisal report was performed on appropriate GSE forms and if the appraiser indicated in the body of the subject appraisal that the appraisal conforms to USPAP standards. |
| d. | Review and determine the relevance of the comparable properties and ensure that a rational and reliable value was provided and supported as of the effective date of the Origination Appraisal. |
| e. | Review adjustments (line item, net and gross adjustments) to ensure they are reasonable. |
| f. | Ensure that the appraisal conforms to the guidelines provided from the Client. |
| g. | Review appraisal to ensure all required documents were included. |
| h. | Review location map provided within the appraisal for external obsolescence. |
| i. | Ensure highest and best use and zoning complies with guidelines. |
| j. | Confirm there are no marketability issues that affect the subject property. |
| k. | Ensure subject property does not suffer any functional obsolescence. |
| l. | Where applicable, determine if the file did not contain the appraisal or other valuation method and a review could not be performed. |
| m. | Additional valuation products were not required when the CU score provided was 2.5 or below. In the event the CU score was greater than 2.5, an additional valuation product was obtained to confirm value was supported within 10% tolerance. In some instances, CDA’s were ordered on loans that had an acceptable CU score based on guidance from the seller. |
Consolidated Analytics applied a cascade methodology to determine if the original appraised value was reasonably supported when compared to an independent third party valuation product.
For loans reviewed in a post-close valuation review scenario (6 loans in total):
Six loans had CU scores. Five of the loans had a CU score less than or equal to 2.5, and one loan had a CU score greater than 2.5. Zero (0) loans had a Secondary Appraisal, zero (0) loans had a AVM, and three (3) loans had Desktop Reviews. Consolidated Analytics has independent access to the Desktop Reviews ordered by the Aggregator.
If a loan with an AVM or Desktop Review fell outside of a -10% tolerance, was inconclusive, or a PIW was present, then a Field Review, a Broker Price Opinion (BPO) along with a Reconciliation of the values or a 2nd Appraisal was completed.
Zero (0) loans had a Field Review or BPO, zero (0) loans had a Full Appraisal Review, and zero (0) loans had an Exterior Only Appraisal Review all of which supported value.
Product totals may not sum due to multiple products for each loan
TAPE INTEGRITY REVIEW RESULTS SUMMARY
Of the 6 mortgage loans reviewed, one (1) unique mortgage loan (16.67% by loan count) had a total of three (3) different tape discrepancies across three (3) data fields. A blank or zero value on the data tape when an actual value was captured by Consolidated Analytics was not treated as a data variance.

Exception Category Summary
The table below summarizes the individual exceptions which carried an associated “A”, “B”, “C”, or “D” level exception grade. One loan may have carried more than one exception. In such cases, the exception with the lowest grade would drive the loan grade for that particular area of the review. The overall loan grade is the lowest grade for any one particular review scope (ex. a loan with a Compliance Grade of “B”, a Credit Grade of “A”, and a Property Grade of “A” would receive an overall Loan Grade of “B”).
