For Agency Eligible Loans Only: Consultant reviews
applicable loans for compliance with the Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule requirements set forth in Regulation Z (12 C.F.R. 1026.43 et seq.) based upon the loan’s designation (Safe Harbor QM, Rebuttable Presumption QM, Exempt). Consultant
determines the loan’s status under the QM rule requirements and assigns a due diligence loan designation. Consultant notes as a material exception if the due diligence findings do not confirm the same loan designation. Additionally,
Consultant notes if a loan designation was not provided. Consultant will verify if each loan meets the requirements for a QM under § 1026.43(e)(2)—whether the loan is a safe harbor QM under § 1026.43(e)(1)(i) or a rebuttable presumption
QM under § 1026.43(e)(1)(ii). Consultant will verify the presence of documentation for lender determination of QM and indicating factors in its ability-to-repay determination, including how the originator applied its policies and
procedures in verification. For loans applications taken on or after June 1, 2021, Consultant will verify whether the loan meets the requirements of the revised general QM definition effective March 1, 2021.
|
| 2. |
For loans for which applications were received prior to July 1, 2021, if a loan was designated as QM and identified as eligible for guarantee, purchase, or insurance by
an applicable agency as permitted under the QM final rule, Consultant reviews the loan to determine whether, based on available information in the loan file the loan satisfied (i), (ii) and (iii) in the paragraph (3)(a)(i) below and reviews
the Automated Underwriting System output within the file to confirm agency eligibility.
|
| 3. |
For Non-Agency Eligible Loans: Consultant reviews
applicable loans for compliance with the Ability to Repay (ATR) but not Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule requirements set forth in Regulation Z (12 C.F.R. 1026.43 et seq.).
|
| i. |
For QM (Safe Harbor or HPCT) designated loans, Consultant reviews the loan to determine whether, based on available information in the loan file: (i)
the loan contains risky loan features and terms (e.g. an interest only feature or negative amortization), (ii) the “points and fees” exceed the applicable QM threshold, (iii) the monthly payment was calculated appropriately. Consultant
reviews to the applicable consider and verify requirements under the QM rule depending on whether the QM was originated under the original general QM definition or the revised general QM definition effective March 1, 2021.
|
| ii. |
For each QM designated loan that satisfied the applicable requirements enumerated above, Consultant then determines whether the loan is a Safe Harbor QM or Higher Priced
QM by comparing the loan’s actual annual percentage rate, as recalculated, to the applicable average prime offer rate plus a certain percentage. For QM designated loans originated under the revised general QM definition effective March 1,
2021, Consultant also determines whether the loan exceeds the pricing thresholds for QM loans.
|
| i. |
The ability to repay portion of the review for non-agency eligible loans only will focus on the eight factors detailed in the ATR Rule as
detailed below for non-agency eligible loans. The Consultant will review the loan file to determine if the creditor verified and considered each of the eight factors utilizing reasonably reliable third-party documentation at or before
consummation.
|
| 1. |
Current or reasonably expected income or assets that the consumer will rely on to repay the loan.
|
| 2. |
Current employment status
|
| 3. |
Monthly mortgage payment for subject loan using the introductory or fully indexed rate, whichever is higher, and monthly, fully amortizing payments that are substantially
equal.
|
| 4. |
Monthly payment on any simultaneous loans secured by the subject property.
|
| 5. |
Monthly payments for property taxes and hazard/flood insurance and certain other costs related to the property such as homeowner’s association fees or ground rent.
|
| 6. |
Debts, alimony, and child support obligations
|
| 7. |
Monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income
|
| 8. |
Credit history
|
| ii. |
For loans designated as agency eligible, Consultant will not review for compliance with the requirements of Appendix Q or General Ability to Repay.
|
| iii. |
Consultant reviews loans to determine their conformity with the ATR/QM factors above and is not rendering an independent assessment or
analysis. Consultant’s review is based on information contained in the loan file at the time it is provided to Consultant, and only reflects information as of that point in time and does not mean any regulator, judicial or agency will
agree with the Consultant’s conclusion.
