EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
(1) Type of assets that were reviewed.
AMC Diligence, LLC (“AMC”) performed for Aspire Sponsor, LLC (the “Client”) certain due diligence services (the “Review”) described below on a residential mortgage loan acquired by Redwood Residential Acquisition Corporation via reliance letter. The Review was conducted on a mortgage loan with an origination date of December 2025 via files imaged and provided by the original client for review.

(2) Sample size of the assets reviewed.
During the course of the securitization evaluation process, the Client may have removed loans that were reviewed by AMC from the securitization for reasons that were not disclosed to AMC. The final population of the Review covered 1 mortgage loan with an original principal balance of approximately $334.538.

(3) Determination of the sample size and computation.
AMC’s Review was conducted consistent with the criteria for the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations, NRSRO(s), identified in Item 3 of the ABS Due Diligence-15E. AMC does not know the size of the overall securitization population and other third-party review (“TPR”) firms may have reviewed loans within the overall securitization population. As such, AMC cannot state the overall sample size.

(4) Quality or integrity of information or data about the assets: review and methodology.
AMC compared data fields on the bid tape provided by the Client to the data found in the actual mortgage loan file as captured by AMC. This comparison, when data was available, included the following data fields:

Additionally, AMC verified (i) listed borrowers signed documents requiring signature, (ii) borrowers signing documents were eighteen (18) years or older at the time of the mortgage loan origination, (iii) that all riders required by the terms of the mortgage and mortgage note were attached to the respective document, (iv) that social security numbers across documents were consistent, and (v) debt-to-income ratio (“DTI(s)”) and/or loan-to-value ratios (“LTV(s)”) were used in the assessment of conformity guidelines.

(5) Origination of the assets and conformity to stated underwriting or credit extension guidelines, standards, criteria or other requirements: review and methodology.

LEASES REVIEW (1 Mortgage Loan)

DOCUMENT REVIEW
For each Loan, AMC will review the Loan File and verify whether the following documents, if applicable, are included in the file and if the data on these documents is consistent and logical: (a) initial application (1003), (b) credit report, (c) employment documentation, (d) asset documentation, (e) sales contract, (f) hazard and/or flood insurance policies, (g) appraisal, (h) title/preliminary title, (i) mortgage/deed of trust, (j) note, (k) certificate of business purpose / non-owner occupancy, (l) articles of incorporation, if applicable, (m) operating agreement, and (n) background check.

Conformity to applicable guidelines will all be assessed during the review. An income calculation will not be performed though the presence of income documentation if required by the guidelines will be noted.

Credit Application: For the Credit Application, AMC will verify whether (a) the application is signed by all listed borrowers, (b) the application is substantially filled out, (c) all known borrower-owned properties are disclosed on the Real Estate Owned section or attachments, and (d) borrower’s property management/landlord experience.

Credit Report: AMC will verify (a) a credit report is present for each borrower, (b) note and research the Real Estate Owned and fraud alerts, (c) and gather data including (i) representative FICO, (ii) scores from Equifax, Experian, and Transunion (if available), (iii) verify that the public records listed are disclosed on the application and adequately explained and in compliance with guidelines, and (iv) the number and length of trade lines.

Employment and Income: AMC will determine whether applicable supporting employment and income documentation required by the guidelines, was present in the mortgage loan file and where possible, wasn’t fraudulent.

Borrowing Entity: AMC will verify the borrowing entity, if not an individual, is properly documented. In addition, AMC will verify if the business entity is a US or foreign entity and if the individual signing the loan documentation has the appropriate authority. Distinction will be made between guarantors and principals, individuals and business entities.

Property income: AMC will determine whether all applicable supporting documentation as required by the guidelines is present in the file. No traditional borrower DTI ratios will be calculated but instead a “Property DTI” will be calculated per guidelines using the lease or expected lease amount and the property expenses. Documentation verifying property income may include: (a) leases and monthly rental income, (b) property vacancy, (c) balance sheets / financial statements, and (d) an appraisal analysis of market rents.

Valuation Review: AMC’s review will include a review of the valuation materials utilized during the origination of the loan and in confirming the value of the underlying property. AMC’s review will include verifying the appraisal report was  (i) materially complete, (ii) in conformity with the guideline requirements for the property type in question, (iii) completed by an appraiser that was actively licensed to perform the valuation, (iv) completed such that the named client on the appraisal report is the lender or a related entity that is permitted to engage the lender per Title XI of FIRREA, (iv) made on an “as is” basis or provides satisfactory evidence of completion of all material conditions including all inspections, licenses, and certificates (including certificates of occupancy) to be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the mortgaged property and with respect to the use and occupancy of the same, have been made or obtained from the appropriate authorities.

With regard to the use of comparable properties, AMC’s review will (i) review the relative comparable data (gross and net adjustments, sale dates and distance from subject property) and ensure that such comparable properties are within standard appraisal guidelines; (ii) confirm the property value and square footage of the subject property was bracketed by comparable properties, (iii) verify that comparable properties used are similar in size, style, and location to the subject, and (iv) check for the reasonableness of adjustments when reconciling value between the subject property and comparable properties.

Other aspects of AMC’s review include (i) verifying that the address matched the mortgage note, (ii) reviewing pictures to ensure (a) that the property is in average or better condition and any repairs are noted where required and (b) that the subject property is the one for which the valuation was ordered and that there are no negative external factors; and (iii) confirming the appraiser noted an estimated lease amount to be used in instances where there is no lease in place.

Asset Review: AMC will assess whether the asset documentation required by the guidelines is present in the file. AMC will verify that assets presented support the required reserves. Documentation reviewed may include: (a) depository account statements, (b) stock or security account statements, (c) settlement statements or other evidence of conveyance and transfer of funds if a sale of assets was involved, and (d) operating accounts from other properties.

Insurance: AMC will (a) look for the presence of rent loss insurance as required by the guidelines, (b) verify that hazard insurance meets the minimum required amount of coverage in the guidelines, (c) confirm that the flood cert is for the correct borrower, property, lender and loan number, and (d) for properties in a flood zone per the flood cert, confirm that flood insurance meets guideline requirements in the file and meets the minimum required amount of coverage.
