- 10. • All borrowers must have one credit score. • CBCMA requires either a soft pull credit report OR UDM within ten days of close. • CBCMA prefers UDM; if you do a soft pull, you must pull from all three bureaus, even if the borrower only has one credit score. • If you use UDM, you may choose to pull from only one bureau. • Our primary goal behind this requirement is to verify that there are no new material inquiries, which may require the file to be rerun through AUS. • If a new material inquiry is discovered, then CBCMA will require that an LOE explaining the new material inquiry be provided to determine if new debt was incurred. • If new debt was incurred prior to closing, then Agency guidelines may require that the file be re-run through AUS and the debt added to the borrower’s final application.

CBCMA requires DTI of 50% or less The borrower has… • Two (2) years employed with the current employer OR two (2) months PITI reserves The borrower has… • A maximum DTI 31% front- end OR met VA Residual Income Tests Start Here!

- 13.

- 15. • Review the Buckley Sandler memo on converting points and fees between borrower and seller: https://chenoafund.org/lender/cbc- documents-and-tools/ • Converting seller credits can pay this fee if the following is done before closing: • Borrower has signed an addendum to the note (found at the above link) • The fee is itemized in the seller’s column on the CD • This allows the charges to not be counted for the 3% points and fees rule. Rate Sheet Clarification • CBCMA: • Offers one rate for each product and its FICO band • Does not charge discount points • Cannot, in the current market, offer the alternative par rate necessary for discount points to be bona fide • Our rate sheets refer to fees from specific FICO bands as “Fee Paid by Lender.” • Any fees paid by the lender to CBCMA are a reduction in the YSP/SRP. • If this fee is passed on to the borrower, the QM 3% points and fees rule applies. • Fees from corporate margins (from lower rates) belong in section A of the CD, “points and fees.”
- 16. Maximum Origination Fee • CBCMA will allow a maximum origination fee of 1.5%. • Additionally, the lender may charge for any CBCMA loan level pricing adjustments (LLPAs). • Lenders will be required to refund borrowers for any origination fees (including non-bona-fide discount points) exceeding 1.5% plus CBCMA LLPAs. • Reasonable lender underwriting, administrative, or program fees are not considered in this calculation; however, they are considered in the QM 3% points and fees test.
