4:5 MINIMUM CREDIT SCORE

Minimum credit score requirement is 720/740.

Reference the Price Adjustments & LTV Charts for minimum credit score requirements on specific product/loan types.

RESCORING AND CREDIT REPAIR

• Legitimate corrections to a borrower’s credit profile are acceptable, i.e. John Doe Jr.’s derogatory credit is reflected on John Doe Sr.’s credit report.

• In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, corrections should be made at the credit repository level.

• Any supporting documentation sent to the credit repositories along with all copies of credit reports should be maintained in the Correspondent’s loan file and included with the file submission when delivered to BB&T Correspondent Lending.

The use of credit repair vendors who assist borrowers to falsely repair their credit by the manipulation of data contained in the borrower’s credit profile to improve credit scores for purposes of loan eligibility, pricing/fee improvement and creditworthiness is expressly prohibited by BB&T Correspondent Lending.

It is at BB&T Correspondent Lending’s discretion to determine if the credit history and credit scores are legitimate, acceptable and meet guideline requirements.

Credit Score Indicator

The term Loan Score refers to the overall score using the Agencies' "middle/lower, then lowest" credit score selection methodology. It is equivalent to Freddie Mac's Indicator Score and Fannie Mae's Representative credit score.

Credit Score Selection

The following criteria may be used to determine each individual borrower's Credit Score using the "middle/lower" method:

• If there are three valid scores for a borrower, the middle score (numerical middle of the three scores) is used.

• If there are three valid scores for a borrower but two of the scores are the same, the duplicate score is used.

• If there are two valid scores for a borrower, the lower of the two scores is used.• If there is one valid score for a borrower, that score is used.

Loan Score Selection

After selecting the appropriate Credit Score for each borrower, the Loan Score must be determined.

• If there is more than one borrower, the lowest selected Credit Score among all borrowers is the Loan Score.

• When there is only one borrower, the selected Credit Score for that borrower is also the Loan Score.

PROPERTIES CURRENTLY OR FORMERLY IN THE NAME OF AN LLC

If a property is currently in the name of borrower's LLC or has been in the name of the borrower's LLC in the most recent six month period, as measured backward from the date of the initial application, it is not eligible for refinancing into the borrower's name. If there is an outstanding lien against the property, it also must be in the borrower's name for a minimum of six months in order to be refinanced.

CREDIT REPUTATION/REQUIRED MINIMUM NUMBER OF TRADELINES

The credit report must show a minimum of two (2) years established credit history. Additionally, each borrower must have a minimum of three (3) tradelines with 12 months satisfactory history.

A prior mortgage or rental history which evidences no late payments during the past 24 months is required. See Section 4:8 “Liability Assessment Standards” for additional requirements.

Non-traditional credit is not permitted.

CREDIT ALERT MESSAGES

Credit Alert Messages on all credit reports must be reviewed. Alerts that are the result of discrepant information must be thoroughly addressed and require additional due diligence.

ADDRESS DISCREPANCIES

Explanations from Borrower must be provided for any credit report-generated alert referencing an address-to-file mismatch or the appearance of an address other than that disclosed by the Borrower within the most recent two years. Any additional address that does not have a reported date must also be explained. Additional addresses that are clearly variations or misspellings of disclosed addresses or addresses with reported dates more than two years old do not require an explanation.

AUTHORIZED USER ACCOUNTS

A tradeline for an account for which the Borrower is not the primary account holder, but is listed as an authorized user, may be considered a Borrower’s tradeline if the Correspondent obtains and retains in the mortgage file documentation that evidences at least one of the following; and if considered as the Borrower’s tradeline, must be included in the qualifying ratios.

An authorized user tradeline may be considered if:

• Another Borrower in the mortgage transaction is the owner of the tradeline; or the Borrower can provide written documentation (e.g. canceled checks, payment receipts, etc.) that he or she has been the actual and sole payer of the monthly payment on the account for at least 12 months preceding the date of the application.

• If written documentation of the Borrower’s monthly payments on the authorized user tradeline is provided, then the payment history, particularly any late payments that are indicated, must be considered in the credit analysis and the monthly payment obligation must be included in the debt-to-income ratio.

Note: An authorized user tradeline must be considered if the owner of the tradeline is the Borrower’s spouse and the spouse is not a Borrower in the mortgage transaction.

FOREIGN CREDIT REPORTS

Use of foreign credit reports is unacceptable.

PAYMENT PLANS FOR UNPAID INCOME TAXES

Loans where the Borrowers have payment plans for unpaid income taxes are eligible for delivery to BB&T Correspondent Lending unless a tax lien exists.

DEROGATORY CREDIT

The presence of significant derogatory credit events dramatically increases the likelihood of a future default and represents a significantly higher level of default risk. Examples of significant derogatory credit events include bankruptcies, foreclosures, deeds-in-lieu of foreclosure, pre-foreclosure sales, short sales, and charge-offs of mortgage accounts.

The following must be determined:

• The cause and significance of the derogatory information; • Verification sufficient time has elapsed since the date of the last derogatory information;

and• Confirmation the Borrower has re-established an acceptable credit history.

The recovery time is the amount of time that must elapse after a significant derogatory credit event before the Borrower is eligible for a new loan. The recovery time commences on the execution, completion, discharge, or dismissal date (as applicable) of the derogatory credit event and ends on the disbursement date of the new loan.

Significant Derogatory Credit Events in the Credit Report

The credit report and Section VIII, Declarations, of the loan application to identify instances of significant derogatory credit events; the public records section of the credit report and all tradelines, including mortgage accounts (first liens, second liens, home improvement loans, HELOCs, and manufactured home loans), to identify previous foreclosures, deeds-in-lieu, pre- foreclosure sales, charge-offs of mortgage accounts, and bankruptcies must be reviewed.

The current status of each tradeline, manner of payment codes, and remarks to identify these types of significant derogatory credit events must be carefully reviewed. Remarks Codes are descriptive text or codes that appear on a tradeline, such as “Foreclosure,” “Forfeit deed-in-lieu of foreclosure,” and “Settled for less than full balance.”

If there is any evidence of a short sale disclosed on the credit report or contained elsewhere in the mortgage file, the requirements for handling significant adverse or derogatory information caused by extenuating circumstances or financial mismanagement for Mortgages related to short sales apply and must be met.

Significant derogatory credit events may not be accurately reported or consistently reported in the same manner by all creditors or credit reporting agencies. If not clearly identified in the credit report, copies of appropriate documentation must be obtained.

The documentation must establish the completion date of a previous foreclosure, deed-in-lieu or pre-foreclosure sale, or date of the charge-off of a mortgage account; confirm the bankruptcy discharge or dismissal date; and identify debts that were not satisfied by the bankruptcy. Debts that were not satisfied by a bankruptcy must be paid off or have an acceptable, established repayment schedule

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:7 EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

4:7 EMPLOYMENT AND INCOME UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

INTRODUCTION

It is the intent of BB&T to primarily purchase Qualified Mortgage loans as defined by Regulation Z and federally-related insurers and investors. For each loan, BB&T makes a reasonable and good faith determination that the Consumer(s)* will have a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms. There are many factors that should be considered when reviewing a Consumer’s employment and income, such as income stability, occupation, employment, tenure, opportunities for future income, educational background, and occupational training.

The following standards explain the requirements for considering and verifying a Consumer’s income and employment information, the types of income BB&T considers acceptable, and the methods for calculating certain types of income. Standards for the consideration and verification of the Consumer’s current and expected debt obligations and other liabilities (including the monthly payments for this loan, any known simultaneous loans, and mortgage-related obligations) are provided in BB&T’s Liability Assessment Underwriting Standards.

*Hence forward references to “Consumer” and “Borrower” are interchangeable for purposes of this guide.

GENERAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENT

Information relied on by BB&T during the qualification process generally must be verified using third-party records, which are records prepared or reviewed by someone other than the consumer or BB&T. Specific documents required and exceptions are listed below. Income

relied on in qualifying the consumer must be verified pursuant to the Documentationrequirements for each income source, as detailed in the following pages.

BB&T will accept independent validation of borrower employment and income for Non–Conforming/Jumbo loans through approved third party vendors, if BB&T requirements within the Guide are met. Click here for a list of approved third party vendors



STABILITY OF INCOME

Stable effective income is the Consumer’s verified gross monthly income from all acceptable and verifiable sources where there is no indication the income will not continue. For each income source used to qualify the Consumer, you must determine that both the source and the amount of the income are stable. In most instances, a two-year history of receiving income is required in order for the income to be considered stable and used for qualifying. When the Consumer has less than a two-year history of receiving income, a written analysis is required to justify the determination that the income that is used to qualify the Consumer is stable.

Income may not be used in calculating the Consumer’s income ratios if it comes from any source that cannot be verified, is not stable, or will not continue.

A Consumer who has had different types of employment in the past may be considered to have stable income if the income amount has remained at a consistent or increasing level. When evaluating a Consumer who has changed jobs frequently, focus on whether the changes have affected the Consumer’s ability to pay their obligations.

For each income source used for qualifying, there should be a reasonable expectation that the income will continue for at least three years.

All self-employed income (Sole Proprietorship, S-Corporation, Partnership or Corporation) must be fully documented, regardless of whether the income is being used in qualifying.

DETERMINING THE NEED FOR FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURNS

Signed IRS Federal Tax Returns for the past two years are required for sources of income if the Consumer derives:

• Income from employment by a family member• Rental income from an investment property• Income from employment by interested parties to the property sale or purchase• Income from temporary or seasonal employment or unemployment benefits• Income from Capital Gains, royalties, real estate, or other IRS Form 1099 reported income• Foreign income• Interest and dividend income• Income from sole proprietorships, limited liability partnerships, corporations, or any type

of business structure that the Consumer has 25% or more ownership

Tax Return Requirements

• Tax Returns filed by the consumer or a licensed CPA are acceptable.• Base salaried consumers who have income other than salary income, i.e. rental income,

royalties, etc.: The last two years’ personal tax returns including all schedules are required.

• Self-Employed consumers: The last two years’ personal and business tax returns including all schedules are required.

• Amortization may be added back when calculating income for the Self-Employed Consumer pursuant to the calculations on Freddie Mac Income Analysis Form 91or Fannie Mae Cash Flow Analysis Form 1084.

Allowable Age of Federal Income Tax Returns

The “most recent year’s” tax return is defined as the last return scheduled to have been filed with the IRS. For example,

If Today’s Date is… Then the Most Recent Year’s Tax Return would be….

February 15, 2016 2014

April 17, 2016 2015

December 15, 2016 2015

The following table describes which tax-related documentation to obtain depending on the application date and disbursement date of the mortgage loan. As discussed above and below, additional tax documentation may be required for certain types of income.

Note: Amended tax returns require additional due diligence. Tax returns that are amended after application in order to qualify for a loan will not be accepted.

Application Date

Disbursement Date Documentation Required

October 15 , (current year minus 1) to April 14 , current year


The most recent year’s tax return is required. The use of a Tax Extension (IRS Form 4868) is not permitted.

April 15 , current year to June 30 , current year

The previous year’s tax return (the return due in April of the current year) is recommended, but not required. Correspondent must ask the borrower whether he or she has completed and filed his or her return with the IRS for the previous year. If the answer is yes, Correspondent must obtain copies of that return. If the answer is no, Correspondent must obtain copies of tax returns for the prior two years. Lenders must only obtain completed and signed IRS Form 4506–T for transcripts of tax returns provided by the borrower to the lender. (The lender is not required to file IRS Form 4506–T for tax returns not provided by the borrower).

Correspondent must obtain• The most recent year’s tax return, OR all of

the following:• A copy of IRS Form 4868 (Application for

Automatic Extension of Time to File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) filed with the IRS.

• Correspondent/BB&T must review the total tax liability reported on IRS Form 4868 and compare it with the borrower’s tax liability from the previous two years as a measure of income source stability and continuance. An estimated tax liability that is inconsistent with previous years may make it necessary for BB&T to require the current returns in order to proceed.

• IRS Form 4506-T transcripts confirming “No Transcripts Available” for the applicable tax year, and Returns for the prior two years.

April 15 , current year to October 14 , current year

IRS Form 4506-T

IRS 4506-T and Official Tax Returns Transcripts are important tools for not only income qualification, but also fraud deterrence, documentation validation, and data integrity confirmation. By requiring this earlier in the process, BB&T hopes this will protect our valued clients, as well as BB&T’s interest, by identifying issues prior to closing.

IRS 4506-T Requirement

• The requirement for a completed, signed, and dated IRS 4506-T form applies to ALLloans.

• The 4506-T form is to be dated as of the date of loan application and at loan closing. • The 4506-T form is required whether or not the consumers are employed. • The 4506-T form is required whether or not the loan is income qualifying.

Tax Transcripts

• The most recent available IRS tax return transcript requirement applies to every loan, regardless of the loan type or consumer’s income source.

• The official tax return transcript is required on each consumer. • The official tax return transcript is required even if tax returns are NOT required for loan

qualification.

If the tax return has been filed, but tax transcripts are not yet available, the following documentation is required:

• Salaried Consumers who have income relied on sources reported on tax returns:

◦ If transcripts are not available, then the Work Number Instant Access Database or an Institutional VOE can be utilized for salaried borrowers.

NOTE: Do not use either of the guidelines above for a “no record found” or “data does not match” response from the IRS. Follow the current guidelines above for these responses from the IRS.

NOTE: All self-employed income (Sole Proprietorship, S-Corporation, Partnership or Corporation) must be fully documented, regardless of whether the income is being used in qualifying.

WAGE EARNER / EMPLOYED INCOME

Stable monthly income may be income from primary and secondary employment, including base earnings plus consistent and documented secondary income, such as bonuses, commissions, overtime, additional part time employment, or seasonal employment.

Salary and Hourly Income

Salaried Wage Earners are defined as individuals who have less than a 25% ownership interest in the business from which they derive their salary.

When a Consumer’s primary employment is less than a typical 40-hour work week, evaluate the stability of that income when treating the income as regular, on-going primary employment (as opposed to part-time employment, which is discussed below).

Gaps of employment that span one or more months must be explained. In particular:

• Indicate if Consumer was in school or the military for the recent two full years, providing evidence supporting this claim, such as college transcripts, or discharge papers.

• Allowances can be made for seasonal employment, if documented.

Effective income for Consumers who disclose that they are planning to retire during the first three-year period must include the amount of

• Documented retirement benefits;• Social Security payments; or• Other payments expected to be received in retirement.

A Consumer cannot be questioned about possible, future medical or maternity leave.

In order to arrive at an accurate calculation of gross monthly income, the frequency of the payment must be determined:

• Weekly – once per week• Bi-weekly – every other week• Semi-Monthly – twice per month• Monthly – once per month• Annually – one time per year• Some Consumers annual salaries may be received over a time period of less than 12

months. It is important to determine how the Consumer is paid in order to accurately calculate income. Determine how often and how long the Consumer is paid and then determine monthly income based on the calculation above. For example, if a Consumer is paid 10 months of the year, multiply their monthly salary by 10 months and divide by 12.

Documentation

Obtain all of the following:

• Most recent year-to-date paystub or salary voucher documenting at least 30 days of income

• W-2’s for most recent two years• Verbal Verification of Employment obtained no more than 10 Business Days prior to the

Note Date or after the Note Date but prior to delivery to BB&T and recorded in the loan file• Signed 4506-T and IRS Transcripts

OR, obtain all of the following:

• Written Verification of Employment (VOE) form covering the most recent two years, which shows income and pay information

• Verbal VOE obtained no more than 10 Business Days prior to the Note Date or after the Note Date but prior to delivery to BB&T and recorded in the loan file

• Signed 4506-T and IRS Transcripts

Consumers Employed by a Family-Owned Business

In addition to normal employment verification, a Consumer employed by a family-owned business is required to provide evidence that he/she does not own 25% or more of the business.

Documentation

Obtain one of the following:

• Copies of signed personal tax returns for the most recent two years; or• A signed copy of the business tax returns for the most recent two years showing

ownership percentage

If it is determined that the Consumer owns 25% or more of the business, refer to the Self-Employed Income section.

Newly Employed

For a Consumer who has less than a two-year employment and income history, the Consumer’s income may be used if documentation to support that the Consumer was either attending school or in a training program immediately prior to their current employment history is provided.

Consumers Returning to Work after an Extended Absence

Income may be considered when the Consumer is recently returning to work after an extended absence if the Consumer is employed in the current job for six or more months.

Documentation

Obtaining one of the following to document a work history prior to an absence from employment:

• W-2’s and Paystubs, or• Written VOE form

Current and previous employment documentation must support a two year work history.

Note: Extended absence is defined as 6 or more months.

Projected Income from Current Job

Projected income is permitted from the following sources:

• Cost of Living adjustment• Performance raises• Bonus (refer to the bonus income section below)

Documentation

Written verification from the employer must be obtained, and income must be scheduled to begin within 60 days of loan closing.

Projected Income from a New Job

Projected income is acceptable for a Consumer scheduled to start a new job within 60 days of loan closing if there is a fully executed employment contract, or accepted offer letter, and verification that the Consumer will have sufficient income or cash reserves to support the mortgage payment and any other obligation between loan closing and the start of employment.

Unreimbursed Business Expenses

For borrowers that are qualified using base, bonus, and/or overtime pay; and/or commission income that totals less than 25% of the borrower’s annual employment income, unreimbursed employee business expenses are not required to be analyzed or deducted from the borrower’s qualifying income, or added to monthly liabilities. This applies regardless of whether unreimbursed employee business expenses are identified on tax returns (IRS Form 2106) or tax transcripts received from the IRS.

If the borrower has a significant portion (25% or more) of their income coming from commission income, BB&T requires the borrower’s federal income tax returns for the most recent two years be obtained. In these cases, BB&T would review any non-reimbursed business expenses to determine whether expenses need to be incorporated into qualifying the borrower for the mortgage.

Overtime/Bonus Income

Overtime/bonus income can be used for qualification if the Consumer has received the income for the past two years and there is no indication it will not continue.

An earnings trend must be established. If the earnings are stable or increasing, an average of the income is used for qualifying purposes.

If the trend was declining, but has since stabilized and there is no indication that overtime/bonus will not continue, the income must be based on the current stable earnings.

If the trend is declining, the overtime/bonus income should not be considered for qualifying purposes unless there are significant documented compensating factors.

Overtime/bonus income received for less than two years may be considered provided the income is received a minimum of 18 months and is stable or increasing. A 24-month average must be used for qualifying purposes. There must be no indication that overtime/bonus income is unlikely to continue.

Temporary leave from an employer may encompass various circumstances. For example short-term disability, family medical, maternity, and other temporary leaves with or without

pay. Temporary leave is generally short in duration. Leave is no longer considered temporary when the Consumer does not intend to return to the current employer, or does not have a commitment from the current employer to return to employment.

1) For the Consumer who is returning to their current employer after the first mortgage payment, use the income the Consumer is receiving for the duration of the temporary leave. In the event the income has been reduced or interrupted, use the monthly reduced income amount (may be zero) for the duration of the leave. Total qualifying income may not exceed the gross monthly income that will be received upon the Consumers return to current employer.

SELF-EMPLOYED INCOME

A Consumer who has an ownership interest of 25% or more in a business is considered to be self-employed.

Income from self-employment is considered stable and effective if the Consumer has been self-employed for two or more years.

An earnings trend must be established based on the previous two years tax returns. If the earnings are stable or increasing, an average of the income is used for qualifying purposes.

If the trend was declining, but has since stabilized and there is no indication that the income will not continue, the income must be based on the current stable earnings.

If the trend is declining, the income should not be considered for qualifying purposes unless there are significant documented compensating factors.

If self-employed between one and two years, document that the Consumer has a two-year history of receipt of income at the same or greater level in the same or similar occupation in order to consider the income for qualifying purposes. The Consumer’s tax returns must reflect at least one year of self-employment income.

If self-employed less than one year the income from the Consumer may not be considered for qualifying purposes. The business’s annual earnings must also be considered for the past two years. If the business shows a significant decline in income, then income earned by the Consumer from that business may not be considered.

Types of Business Structure

Sole Proprietor

A Sole Proprietorship is an unincorporated business that is individually owned and managed. The individual owner is personally liable for all debts of the business and has unlimited liability. There is no distinction between the owner’s personal assets and the assets used in the business.

The financial success or failure of this type of business depends solely on the owner’s ability to obtain capital and to manage the various aspect of the business.

The income, expenses, and taxable profits are reported on Schedule C of the Consumers individual IRS Form 1040 tax returns.

Note: Loans subject to Schedule F Income will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If Schedule F Income is reflected on the IRS tax transcripts, the actual Schedule F must be reviewed for the existence of leases and true gross income. Schedule F income on the subject property indicates there may be non-residential use of the subject property and represents higher risk. Therefore, both the property and the income will be analyzed for acceptability. Any Schedule F income reflected on tax returns is not allowed as qualifying income if it is a gain. A loss will be deducted from qualifying income.

S-Corporation

An S-Corporation is a legal entity that has a limited number of stockholders and elects not be taxed as a regular corporation. Business gains and losses are passed on to the

stockholders, but the corporation’s stockholders may not be held personally or financially liable for the activities of the corporation. Income is reported on IRS Form 1120S, with each stockholder’s share of the income reported on IRS Schedule K-1 (Form 1120) and reflected on Schedule E of the individual 1040 tax return.

Review of the business tax returns is required to assess the viability of the business.

Partnership

A Partnership is a business owned by two or more individuals who share in profits, losses, and the responsibility for running the company. Each partner pays taxes on their proportionate share of the partnership’s net income. Income is reported on IRS Form 1065 with the partner’s share of the income reported on IRS Schedule K-1 (Form 1065) and reflected on Schedule E of the individual 1040 tax return.

Review of the business tax returns is required to access the viability of the business.

Corporation

A Corporation is a State-chartered business owned by its stockholders. Ownership in a corporation is through shares of stock, but a corporation’s stockholders may not be held personally or financially liable for the activities of the corporation. Income is reported on IRS Form 1120 and individual 1040 tax returns.

Review of the business tax returns is required to access the viability of the business.

Corporate compensation to officers, generally in proportion to the percentage of ownership, is shown on the IRS Form 1120.

RENTAL INCOME

Rental income may be used for qualification provided the Consumer has a 24-month history of managing rental properties within the last five (5) years and subject to the requirements below.

Rental Income from Roommates or Boarders in a Single-Family Property

Income from roommates in a single family property occupied as the Consumer’s primary residence is not acceptable. Rental income from boarders, however, is acceptable, when a Consumer with disabilities receives rental income from a live-in personal assistant. There must be no indication that boarder rental income is unlikely to continue. The rental payments can be considered in an amount up to 30% of the total gross income that is used to qualify the Consumer.

Documentation


• Documentation of the boarder’s history of shared residency (e.g., copy of driver’s license, bills, bank statements, or W-2 forms) that shows the boarder’s address as being the same as the Consumer’s address

• Documentation of the boarder’s rental payments for the most recent 12 months• The Consumer’s most recent tax return showing the rental income• Signed 4506-T and IRS Transcripts

Rental Income from Subject Property

If rental income is derived from the subject property, the property must be a two- unit principal residence in which the Consumer occupies one of the units.

Documentation


• Operating Income Statement (Form 998)• Single-Family Comparable Rent Schedule (Form 1007/Form 1000) or Small Residential

Income Property Appraisal Report (Form 1025/Form 72)• Signed, dated individual tax return including Schedule E for the most recent two years• Copies of the current lease agreement(s) to substantiate the reported income• Signed 4506-T and IRS Transcripts

If the property was out of service for an extended period, the Schedule E will reflect the costs for renovation or rehabilitation as repair expenses and the Schedule E will confirm the number of days that the rental unit was in service. Copies of the current lease agreement(s) may be used for qualifying purposes.

Note: The following scenarios do not require the tax return to validate the subject property rental income:

• Consumer is purchasing the property; or

• Consumer purchased the rental property during or subsequent to the last tax return filing

Rental Income from Other Properties

If rental income is derived from a property that is not the subject property, there are no restrictions on the property type.

Documentation

Note: The following scenario does not require the tax return to validate the subject property rental income:

• Consumer purchased the rental property during or subsequent to the last tax return filing

Calculating Rental Income (or Loss)

Individual Tax Return / Schedule E

When Schedule E is used to calculate qualifying rental income on the Consumer’s principal residence, add back any listed depreciation, interest, taxes, or insurance expenses to the net rental income / loss and divide the total by 24. If the figure is positive, this amount must be added monthly income; if the figure is negative, the amount must be included as a liability. The full amount of the mortgage payment (PITIA) must be included in the total monthly obligations.

When Schedule E is used to calculate qualifying rental income on a property other than the Consumer’s principal residence, add back any listed depreciation to the net rental income / loss and divide the total by 24. If the figure is positive, this amount must be added to the Consumer’s total monthly income; if the figure is negative, the amount must be included as a liability. The mortgage payment for the rental property should not be included as a monthly obligation.

Lease Agreements

When current lease agreements are used to calculate qualifying rental income on the Consumer’s principal residence, reduce the gross rental amount by 25% for vacancies and maintenance. This amount must be added to the Consumer’s total monthly income. The full amount of the mortgage payment (PITIA) must be included in the total monthly obligations.

When current lease agreements are used to calculate qualifying rental income on a property other than the Consumer’s principal residence, reduce the gross rental amount by 25% for vacancies and maintenance. The full amount of the mortgage payment (PITIA) must be subtracted from this amount. If the figure is positive, this amount must be added to the Consumer’s total monthly income; if the figure is negative, the amount must be included as a liability. The mortgage payment for the rental property should not be included as a monthly obligation.

OTHER INCOME

Alimony, Child Support, and Separate Maintenance

Alimony, Child Support or Separate Maintenance may be considered effective income if payments are likely to be received consistently for at least three years.

Check for limitation on the continuance of the payment, such as the age of the children (age must be < 15 years) from whom the support is being paid or the duration over which alimony is required to be paid.

Note: Child support may be grossed up under the same provisions as non-taxable income sources.

Documentation

* Periods less than 12 months may be considered provided timely payments have been received a minimum of 6 months, which indicates the likelihood and willingness to pay.

Assets used as Qualifying Income (Employment-related)

Employment-related assets may be used as qualifying income, provided the Consumer is not currently using the employment-related asset as a source of income. The asset must be owned individually by the Consumer and the asset must be immediately accessible in its entirety and not subject to a penalty.

The following employment-related assets may be considered:

• Retirement assets in a retirement account recognized by the IRS (e.g. 401(k), RIA, SEP, or Keogh retirement account), or

• A lump-sum distribution (non-self-employed severance package or non-self-employed lump sum retirement package) deposited into an eligible retirement account, or

• A lump-sum distribution (non-self-employed severance package or non-self-employed lump sum retirement package) deposited into a non-retirement brokerage or depository account. The Consumer must be the sole recipient.

• To calculate asset sources, use 70% of the balance of the eligible asset less any funds required to complete the transaction (e.g., down payment, closing costs, etc.) divided by 360 months, regardless of loan term or account balance.

The following mortgage eligibility restrictions apply:

• The loan purpose must be for the Purchase or No-cash-out refinance of a 1-unit Primary residence or Second home

Documentation

Obtain all of the following to establish the amount to add back to gross income:

• IRS Form 2106, Employee Business Expense, for the previous two years• Employer’s verification that the payments will continue.

If the Consumer uses the standard per-mile rate in calculating automobile expenses, as opposed to the actual cost method, the portion that the IRS considers depreciation may be added back to income.

Expenses that must be treated as recurring debt include:

• The Consumer’s monthly car payment, and• Any loss resulting from the calculations of the difference between the actual expenditures

and the expense account allowance.

Include all associated business expenditures in the calculation of the Consumers total DTI ratio.

Capital Gains

Capital gains or losses generally occur only one time, and should not be considered when determining income. However, if the consumer has a constant turnover of assets resulting in gains or losses, the capital gain or loss must be considered when determining income.

Income from capital gains may be considered if the capital gains are from the same source (e.g. securities), tax returns reflect a three year history of consistent gains, and documentation supports that there are sufficient assets remaining after closing to support continuance of the capital gain income for at least the next three years.

If the trend results in a gain, it may be included as qualifying income. If the trend consistently shows a loss, it must be deducted from total income.

Subtract any funds required to complete the transaction (e.g., down payment, closing costs, etc.) before calculating the projected interest or dividend income.

An earnings trend must be established and compared to the projected income when considering interest and dividend income.

• If the earnings are stable or increasing, an average of the income is compared to the projected interest or dividend income to determine qualifying income.

• If the trend was declining, but current assets support that the income has since stabilized, the current stable earnings are compared to the projected interest or dividend income to determine qualifying income.

• If the trend is declining, and the current assets do not support the income as having stabilized, the income should not be considered for qualifying purposes unless there are significant documented compensating factors.

Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Income

States and municipalities can issue mortgage credit certificates (MCC) in place of, or as part of, their authority to issue mortgage revenue bonds. MCC’s enable an eligible first-time home buyer to obtain a mortgage secured by his or her principal residence and to claim a federal tax credit for a specified percentage of the mortgage interest payments. There should be a reasonable expectation that the income will continue for at least three years.

The amount used as qualifying income must be calculated as follows:

((Mortgage Amount) X (Note Rate) x (MCC %)) / 12 = Amount added to the Consumer’s monthly income.

When calculating the DTI ratio, add the amount to the Consumer’s monthly income, rather than as a reduction to the amount of the Consumer’s mortgage payment.

For refinance transactions, the MCC can remain in place as long as the MCC provider confirms, prior to closing that the MCC remains in effect for the new mortgage loan.

Documentation


• Copies of the MCC documents, including the reissue certification

Mortgage Differential

A payment from the Consumer’s employer for all or part of the interest differential between the Consumer’s present and proposed mortgage payment may be considered as qualifying income if the documentation shows that the payments are pursuant to an establish, ongoing documented employer program. There should be a reasonable expectation that the income will continue for at least three years.

If the employer subsidizes a Consumer’s mortgage payment through direct payments, the amount of payments is considered gross income, and cannot be used to offset the mortgage payment directly.

Documentation


• Copy of the agreement from the employer stating the amount and duration of the payments.

Notes Receivable Income

Notes Receivable income may be used if the income can be expected to continue for a minimum of three years.

Documentation


• Copy of the note to establish the amount and length of payment• Evidence the payments have been consistently received for the last 12 months as

evidenced through deposit slips, cancelled checks, bank or other account statements, or tax returns


Retirement Income

If any retirement income will cease within the first full three years of the mortgage loan, such income may not be used in qualifying.

Documentation

For the Consumer receiving pension or annuity income, obtain the following:

• Retirement awards letter or letter from the former employer; or

• Signed, dated individual tax return for the most recent year; or• Form 1099




For the Consumer receiving income from an IRA, 401(k) or Keogh, obtain all of the following:

• Signed, dated individual tax return for the most recent year• Evidence of sufficient assets to support continuance• Two most recent months bank statements or equivalent documentation evidencing current

receipt• Signed 4506-T and IRS Transcripts

Royalty Income

Royalty payments may be used as income as long as the Consumer has received the payments on a regular basis for two years provided the income is likely to continue for the next three years.

Documentation


• Royalty contract, agreement, or statement confirming amount, frequency and duration of the income

• Signed, dated individual tax return for the most recent two years, including Supplemental Income and Loss and Schedule E


Homeownership Voucher Program - formerly referred to as Section 8 Income

Homeownership Voucher Program payments (formerly referred to Section 8 homeownership assistance payments) paid directly to the Borrower are an acceptable source of qualifying income. Homeownership Voucher Program payments paid directly to the servicing lender can be used to offset the monthly housing payment amount used for qualification. Homeownership Voucher Program payments must be likely to continue for the next three years.

Documentation


• The correspondent must provide documentation showing the amount and terms of the monthly payment received from the public housing agency that issued the voucher.

Social Security Income (Retirement, Disability, Survivor Benefits, Supplemental Security)

Benefits that have a defined expiration date may be used as long as the income will continue to be received for at least the next three years. If the benefit does not indicate a defined expiration date, the income should be considered likely to continue. Pending or current re-evaluation of medical eligibility for benefits payments is not considered an indication the payments are not likely to continue.

Survivor benefits received on behalf of the dependent may only be included as qualifying income if the age of the dependent is less than 15 years.

Some portion of Social Security income may be “grossed up” if deemed non-taxable by the IRS. Refer to non-taxable income sources.

Documentation


• Copy of the award letter or other equivalent documentation showing income type and amount



Trust Income

Trust income may be used if constant payments will continue to be received for at least the next three years. The Consumer may use funds from the trust account for any funds

required to complete the transaction (e.g. down payment, closing costs, etc.) if the Consumer provides adequate documentation that the withdrawal of funds will not negatively affect the trust income.

Documentation


• Copy of the trust agreement or trustee’s statement confirming the amount of the trust, the frequency of the distribution, and the duration of payments


Non-Taxable Income Sources

Certain types of regular income may not be subject to Federal Tax:

• Some portion of Social Security• Some Federal government Employee retirement income• Some State government retirement• Railroad retirement benefits• Certain types of disability and public assistance payments• Other income – documented as being exempt from Federal income taxes

The amount of continuing tax savings attributed to regular income not subject to Federal taxes may be added to the Consumer’s gross income. The percentage of non-taxable income that may be added cannot exceed the appropriate tax rate for the income amount. Additional allowances for dependents are not acceptable.

Tax exempt income may be grossed up if documented the income is likely to continue and will remain untaxed. In order to gross up income, obtain the most recent year’s tax return to verify the non-taxable portion. The tax exempt portion may be grossed up by 25%.

The following sources of income are considered non-taxable:

• Child Support• Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS)• Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:8 LIABILITY ASSESSMENT UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

4:8 LIABILITY ASSESSMENT UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

INTRODUCTION

It is the intent of BB&T to primarily purchase Qualified Mortgage loans as defined by Regulation Z and federally-related insurers and investors. For each loan, BB&T makes a reasonable and good faith determination that the Consumer(s)* will have a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms. Among other factors, BB&T considers and verifies a Consumer’s monthly payments for this loan, any known simultaneous loans, and mortgage-related obligations as well as the Consumer’s current debt obligations, alimony, and child support. A thorough review of the mortgage application, credit report, the Consumer’s paystubs (if provided), and other file documentation must be performed in order to properly identify and assess all liabilities. All of the Consumer’s debts incurred through the Note Date must be reflected on the mortgage application and considered when qualifying the Consumer.

The following standards explain the requirements for considering and verifying a Consumer’s monthly payments, debt obligations, alimony, child support, and other current and expected liabilities. Standards for the consideration and verification of the Consumer’s income and employment are provided in BB&T’s Employment and Income Underwriting Standards.


DEBT-TO-INCOME RATIO

Maximum DTI is 43%.



RESIDENCY HISTORY DOCUMENTATION

A prior mortgage or rental history which evidences no late payments during the past 24 months is required.

Consumers who own their current residence free and clear and have a satisfactory past mortgage payment history on the credit report, whether an open mortgage from another REO property or a closed mortgage, are not subject to the satisfactory 24-month residency history noted above.

For Consumers who rent from a rental management company, provide direct written Verification of Rental or verification on a Residential Mortgage Credit Report that includes rental amount, payment history, length of payment history, and landlord’s contact information.

For Consumers who rent from a private landlord, provide direct written Verification of Rental, verification on a Residential Mortgage Credit Report, or copy of lease; AND most recent 12 months canceled checks (front and back) or bank statements verifying rental amount.

NOTE: It is at BB&T’s discretion to determine if past mortgage histories are acceptable and meet guideline requirements.

The following are considered in the liability assessment:

MONTHLY HOUSING EXPENSE

The monthly housing expense is the sum of the following monthly charges for an individual property:

• Principal and interest (P&I) payment• Property hazard, flood, and mortgage insurance premiums (as applicable)• Real estate taxes• When applicable:

◦ Leasehold payments / ground rent◦ Special assessments◦ Homeowner’s association dues (excluding unit utility charges)◦ Any subordinate financing payments on mortgages secured by the property

Qualifying Considerations

All components of the monthly housing expense must be considered for each property owned.

The monthly housing expense associated with the Consumer’s primary residence is considered in the monthly housing expense-to-income ratio, which is also known as the front-end ratio.

The monthly housing expense associated with a second home or an investment property must be considered part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations when calculating the debt-to-income (DTI) ratio, which is also known as the back-end ratio. Refer to the Rental Income section of Employment and Income Underwriting Standards to determine whether rental income can be considered to offset the monthly housing expense on a rental property.

The monthly housing expense associated with a current principal residence that is 1) a pending sale but will not sell prior to loan closing, or 2) being converted to an investment property or second home, must be considered part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations when calculating the debt-to-income ratio.

Refer to the applicable Product Description for the Qualifying Rate to be used for the subject property.

For any simultaneous loan on the subject property, a copy of the promissory note or other written verification must be obtained to determine the qualifying payment. Adjustable-rate mortgages must be qualified using the maximum interest rate in the first five years of the loan.

Documentation


• For property taxes, information provided in the title report (if applicable) or records provided by a governmental organization (such as a taxing authority or local government)

• Billing statements from the condominium, cooperative, or homeowners association• Contracts or agreements for ground rent or leaseholds• For insurance premiums or similar insurance changes, declarations page or other

acceptable documentation from the insurance company

OTHER LIABILITIES

The Consumer’s credit history must be reviewed using credit bureau reports. Except as otherwise stated, the following liabilities are verified using credit reports and information provided on the Consumer’s application.

Alimony / Child Support / Separate Maintenance Payments

When the Consumer is required to pay alimony, child support, or maintenance payments under a divorce decree, separation agreement, or any other written legal agreement, and those payments must continue to be made for ten months or more, the payments must be considered part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations. However, voluntary payments do not need to be taken into consideration.

Business Debt in Consumer’s Name

When a self-employed Consumer claims that a monthly obligation that appears on the credit report is being paid by the Consumer’s business, documentation must be obtained to verify that the obligation was actually paid out of company funds and that the obligation was considered in the cash flow analysis of the Consumer’s business.

The account payment does not need to be considered as part of the Consumer’s individual recurring monthly debt obligations if:

• the account in question does not have a history of delinquency• the business provides acceptable evidence that the obligation was paid out of company

funds for the prior 12 months (such as 12 months of canceled company checks), and• the cash flow analysis of the business took payment of the obligation into consideration

If all requirements listed above are not met, the payment must be considered part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations.

Credit Report Inquiries

All credit inquires reported on the credit report where the Consumer has had a credit inquiry within the past 120 days must be evaluated to determine if any credit was granted. If credit was granted, the Correspondent must verify the debt and include the monthly payments in qualifying the Consumer. In addition, with the exception of those inquiries generated as a result of the subject mortgage, Consumers must provide a signed statement explaining all inquiries, as well as other credit obtained and not yet reported by the credit bureau. Inquiries generated as a result of the subject mortgage do not require a signed statement from the Consumer; however, the Correspondent must address the subject mortgage inquiry on the Transmittal Summary (1008). Information obtained through the use of a third-party vendor is not acceptable as an alternative to the Consumers’ letter of explanation.

Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOC)

If the HELOC has no outstanding balance, a payment does not need to be included in qualifying. Only the actual payments (whether principal and interest or interest only) that are due on an outstanding or drawn portion of a HELOC must be included in the monthly debt calculation.

If the credit report does not show a required minimum payment amount and there is no supplemental documentation from the creditor reflecting the monthly payment, the payment must be calculated as 5% of the outstanding balance or $10, whichever is greater.

Installment Debt

All installment debt that is not secured by a financial asset, including student loans, automobile loans, and home equity loans, must be considered part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations if there are 10 or more monthly payments remaining. However, an installment debt with less than 10 monthly payments remaining must be considered part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations if the amount of the debt affects the Consumer’s ability to pay the mortgage during the months immediately after loan closing, especially if the Consumer will have limited or no liquid assets after closing.

Deferred Installment Debt / Loans in Forbearance

Deferred installment debt, such as deferred student loans, must be included as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations. If the Consumer’s credit report does not indicate the required minimum monthly payment for a student loan that is deferred or is in forbearance, a monthly debt payment must be determined. To determine the Consumer’s monthly debt payment for purposes of calculating the monthly debt payment-to-income ratio, 1% of the outstanding balance of the student loan may be used as the monthly payment instead of obtaining documentation to support the payment amount. However, if any documentation is provided by the Consumer that indicates the actual monthly payment, that figure must be used in qualifying the Consumer.

Lease Payments

Lease payments must be included as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations regardless of the number of months remaining on the lease, with the exception of payments for solar panels subject to a lease agreement, power purchase agreement (PPA) or similar type of agreement that meet the requirements below. This is because the expiration of a lease agreement for rental housing or an automobile typically leads to either a new lease agreement, the buyout of the existing lease, or the purchase of a new vehicle or house.

Payments for leased solar panels subject to a lease agreement, PPA or similar type of agreement

Lease payments for solar panels may be excluded from the monthly debt-to-income ratio if the lease:

• Provides delivery of a specific amount of energy at a fixed payment during a given period, and

• Have a production guarantee that compensates the borrower on a prorated basis in the event the solar panels fail to meet the energy output required for in the lease for that period

Payments under PPAs where the payment is calculated solely based on the energy produced may be excluded from the DTI ratio.

Documentation Requirements:

The Mortgage file must contain a copy of the lease agreement, PPA or similar type of agreement, as applicable. Correspondents must review the solar panel documentation.

The Solar Panel Certification available through the BB&T Correspondent Lending website is provided as a helpful tool and is not mandatory.

Open 30 - Day Charge Accounts

Open 30–day charge accounts require the balance to be paid in full every month. A 30-day charge account that is listed with an unpaid balance does not need to be included as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations provided the Consumer demonstrates that they have sufficient personal liquid assets to cover the unpaid balance or will receive reimbursement of the charges from his or her employer.

If the Consumer does not have sufficient personal liquid assets to cover the unpaid balance or does not receive reimbursement of the charges from his or her employer, the account must be included as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations. The payment must be calculated as the greater of 5% of the outstanding balance or $10.

Revolving Charge Accounts

Monthly payments on revolving charge accounts and unsecured lines of credit, regardless of balance, must be included as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations. These tradelines include credit cards, department store charge cards, and personal lines of credit.

If the credit report does not show a required minimum payment amount and there is no supplemental documentation from the creditor reflecting the monthly payment, the payment must be calculated as the greater of 5% of the outstanding balance or $10.

Contingent Liabilities

A contingent liability is one that may or may not have to be paid by the Consumer. Not all contingent liabilities will have to be taken into consideration when determining the amount of a Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations.

Court-Ordered Assignment of Debt / Property Settlement Buyout

When a Consumer has outstanding debt that was assigned to another party by court order or is bought out by another co-owner of the property (such as under a divorce decree or separation agreement) and the creditor does not release the Consumer from liability, the Consumer has a contingent liability.

This contingent liability does not need to be considered as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations provided the Consumer can provide evidence of the transfer of ownership (if applicable) and court order or settlement agreement assigning the debt.

Co-signed Loans

When a Consumer co-signs for a loan (exclusive of a mortgage loan) to enable another party (the primary obligor) to obtain credit, but is not the party who is actually repaying the debt, the Consumer has a contingent liability. This contingent liability does not need to be considered as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations provided the Consumer can provide evidence that the primary obligor has been making regular payments for the last 12 months, and there is not a history of delinquency on the debt.

The liability must be considered the Consumer’s obligation when calculating the DTI ratio if:

• payment by the primary obligor cannot be sufficiently documented,• a 12-month payment history has not been established for the debt, or• the primary obligor has a history of being delinquent in making payments on the debt

Loans Secured by Financial Assets

When a Consumer uses his or her financial assets, life insurance policies, 401(k) accounts, individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, stocks, bonds, etc., as security for a loan, the liability does not need to be considered as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations. The Consumer must provide a copy of the applicable loan instrument that shows the Consumer’s financial asset as collateral for the loan.

Note: If the Consumer intends to use the same asset to satisfy a cash reserve requirement, the value of the asset must be reduced by the amount of the outstanding loan and any related fees to determine whether the Consumer has sufficient reserves.

Mortgage Assumption

When a Consumer sells a mortgaged property and the property purchaser assumes the outstanding mortgage debt without a release of liability, the Consumer has a contingent liability.

This contingent liability does not need to be considered as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations provided the property purchaser has been making regular payments for the last 12 months. The following must be documented:

• evidence of the transfer of ownership• copy of the formal, executed assumption agreement• payment history from servicer showing that the mortgage has been current during the

previous 12 months

If the requirements above cannot be met, the liability must be included as part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations.

4:9 ASSETS UNDERWRITING STANDARDS

INTRODUCTION

It is the intent of BB&T to primarily purchase Qualified Mortgage loans as defined by Regulation Z and federally-related insurers and investors. BB&T makes a reasonable and good faith determination that the Consumer* will have a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms.

The following standards explain the requirements for considering and verifying a Consumer’s assets, which may be required for closing costs, down payment, and/or financial reserves.

Standards for the consideration and verification of the Consumer’s current and expected debt obligations and other liabilities (including the monthly payments for any newly originated mortgage loan, any known simultaneous loans, and mortgage-related obligations) are provided in BB&T’s Liability Assessment Underwriting Standards. Standards for the consideration and verification of the Consumer’s income and employment are provided in BB&T’s Employment and Income Underwriting Standards.


GENERAL DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENT

Information relied on by BB&T during the qualification process generally must be verified using third-party records, which are records prepared or reviewed by someone other than the consumer or BB&T. Specific documents required and exceptions are listed below.

BB&T will accept independent validation of assets for Non–Conforming/Jumbo loans through approved third party vendors, if BB&T requirements within the Guide are met. Click here for a list of approved third party vendors.



STANDARD RESERVE REQUIREMENTS

See Price Adjustments and LTV Chart

Reserves are calculated on the full monthly payment amount for the property which is the sum of the following:

• Principal and interest (P&I) payment• Property hazard, flood, and mortgage insurance premiums (as applicable)• Real estate taxes• When applicable:

◦ Leasehold payments / ground rent◦ Special assessments◦ Homeowner’s association dues (excluding unit utility charges)◦ Any subordinate financing payments on mortgages secured by the property

MINIMUM BORROWER CONTRIBUTION

The borrower must have at least 5% from his or her own cash if the LTV is greater than 80%. A down payment of 100% gift funds is allowed for LTVs less than or equal to 80%. Property seller's prorated taxes are allowed as part of the consumer's required down payment. Business funds may be eligible, see requirements included within this section of the guide.

VERIFICATION OF DEPOSITS AND ASSETS

BB&T can use any of the following types of documentation to verify that a consumer has sufficient funds for closing costs, down payment, and/or financial reserves:

Request for Verification of Deposit

The information must be requested directly from the depository institution, and the complete signed and dated document must be sent directly from the depository institution.

Copies of Bank Statements or Investment Portfolio Statements

The statements must cover account activity for the most recent two-month period (or, if account information is reported on a quarterly basis, for the most recent quarter). The statement must:

• clearly identify the consumer as the account holder• include the account number• include the time period covered by the statement• include all deposits and withdrawal transactions (for depository accounts)• include all purchase and sale transactions

If BB&T is the holder of the consumer’s account, BB&T may produce a printout or other alternative verification of the asset(s) directly from BB&T’s system. The printout or alternative verification is acceptable as long as all required data (above) is supplied and documented.

Documents received by fax or downloaded from the Internet must clearly identify the name of the depository or investment institution and the source of information- for example, by including that information in the Internet or fax banner at the top of the document.

Copies of Retirement Account Statements

The Consumer must provide the most recent statements that identify the consumer’s vested amount and the terms.

SOURCES OF DEPOSITORY ASSETS

Depository Accounts

Depository assets include checking and savings accounts, money market funds and certificates of deposit and may be used for closing costs, down payment, and financial reserves.

When verifying assets and reserves, any indications of borrowed funds including recently opened accounts, recent large deposits, or account balances that are considerably greater than the average balance over the previous few months must be investigated. A written explanation of the source of funds must be obtained from the consumer, and verification of the source of funds must be obtained. BB&T reserves the right to request documentation supporting source of funds, if asset statements show a history of frequent non-payroll deposits.

Documentation


• Two most recent consecutive monthly bank statements

• Most recent quarterly statement• Verification of Deposit

Note: The most recent bank statement may not be dated more than 45 days prior to the application date. In cases where a supplemental statement may be necessary (i.e. to evidence additional funds needed for the transaction, or to source funds used to satisfy a liability prior to closing), the supplemental statement must include the borrower(s) name, account # and transaction history from the time of the most recent statement provided in the application file to the date of the supplemental statement. The statements may be computer-generated forms, including online account or portfolio statements downloaded by the consumer from the internet.

Large deposits are defined as a single deposit that exceeds 50% of the total gross monthly qualifying income for the loan. This requirement is for all transactions where the deposit is needed to meet the requirements for Borrower Funds and/or required reserves.

When a deposit that meets the definition for large deposits is not documented and is not needed for Borrower Funds and/or required reserves, the funds used for qualifying purposes must be reduced by the amount of the unverified deposit.

Any borrowed funds including any related liability must be considered, including undisclosed debt. Therefore, a signed statement from the borrower explaining the origin of unverified deposits is required and must be included in the loan file.

When a single deposit consists of both verified and unverified funds, the unverified funds are used when determining whether the deposit exceeds the 50% requirement.

Bank or account statements, typically covering the most recent two months, when found to have a large single deposit exceeding 50% of the total monthly qualifying income for the loan, or when the assets verified on the VOD and depository activity is not included, obtain the following:

Documentation Requirements

Bank Statements

Verify the source of funds and provide a written explanation for the following:

◦ Any single large deposit exceeding 50% of the total monthly qualifying income◦ Accounts opened within the last 90 days of the loan application date

Verification of Deposit (VOD)

Verify the source of funds and provide a written explanation for the following:

◦ Accounts opened within the last 90 days of the loan application date, and◦ Account balances that are considerably greater than the average balance reflected on

the VOD

Note: If the source of a large deposit on an account statement is readily identifiable on the account statement, such as a direct deposit from an employer (i.e., payroll), the Social Security Administration, or IRS or state income tax refund, and the source is printed on the statement, the lender does not need to obtain further explanation or documentation. However, if the source is printed on the statement and there still is a question as to whether the funds have been borrowed, obtain additional documentation.

Business Assets

The use of business funds may be considered provided the Borrower is 100% owner of the business. Full analysis of the business must consider the effect of the withdrawal of the assets and how it will impact the strength and viability of the business in the future.

When a borrower intends to use business assets as funds for the down payment, closing costs, and/or financial reserves, BB&T must complete a thorough review of the business financials to confirm that the withdrawal of funds for this transaction will not have a negative impact on the business. In order to assess the impact of the withdraw of funds for closing, in addition to the review of the business financials, BB&T will require three months of the most recent business asset statements in order to see cash flow needs and trends over time.

Documentation


• Three most recent consecutive monthly bank statements

Note: The most recent bank statement may not be dated more than 45 days prior to the application date. In cases where a supplemental statement may be necessary (i.e. to evidence additional funds needed for the transaction, or to source funds used to satisfy a liability prior to closing), the supplemental statement must include the borrower(s) name, account # and transaction history from the time of the most recent statement provided in

the application file to the date of the supplemental statement. The statements may be computer-generated forms, including online account or portfolio statements downloaded by the consumer from the internet.

Assets for Non-U.S. Citizens (Recently Deposited)

Funds recently deposited in a U.S. depository institution by a non-U.S. citizen consumer are an acceptable source of funds and may be used for closing costs, down payment, and financial reserves provided funds can be properly documented.

Documentation


• Documented evidence of funds transfer from the country from which the consumer immigrated.

• Documented evidence that the funds belonged to the consumer prior to the date of the transfer.

Note: The sources of all funds must be verified just as they would for a client who is a U.S. citizen.

Individual Development Accounts

Some nonprofit agencies will match the funds a consumer regularly deposits into a savings account that has been designated as an account that is used solely for the accumulation of funds to purchase a home. Such accounts are referred to as individual development accounts (IDAs).

Non-profit agencies that offer IDA programs have options with respect to accumulating and holding the matching funds, which include:

• The use of an account that is separate from the home buyer’s savings account. • Separately designated matching funds within a single agency. • The use of a trustee account that contains both the home buyer’s funds and the agency’s

matching funds.

The funds are disbursed from the non-profit agency account to the closing agent via either a single check or multiple checks.

It is acceptable to allow the separate disbursement of funds from the agency and from the home buyer, as long as the terms of the IDA program are met.

Funds that the consumer deposited into an IDA may be used for closing costs and down payment.

IDA Repayment Terms Allowable Use of Matching Funds

The nonprofit agency:• Requires repayment of the matching

funds.• Agrees to defer or forgive repayment

provided that certain conditions are met;

Or• Files a lien against the property.

The consumer may use the matching funds to supplement the down payment, provided he or she has met the minimum consumer contribution requirements, located within this section of the guide.

The nonprofit agency:• Does not require repayment of the

matching funds;

And• Does not file a lien against the property.

The consumer may use the matching funds to supplement the down payment, provided he or she has met the minimum consumer contribution requirements, located within this section of the guide.

Documentation


• Document how the nonprofit agency’s IDA program operates.• Verify the rate at which the agency matches consumer deposits into the account.• Determine the consumer satisfied the program’s vesting requirements.• Document the consumer’s regular payments into the account and the agency’s regular

deposits of matching funds into the account.

Pooled Funds

Pooled funds are considered eligible sources of Borrower Personal Funds and must be verified and documented. Pooled funds are funds on deposit provided by the Borrower and other member(s) of a group of Related Persons who:

• Have resided together for at least one year, and • Will continue residing together in the new residence, and • Are "pooling" their funds to buy a home

Funds provided by Related Persons who do not reside with the Borrower are subject to the requirements for gifts funds. In addition, the Borrower must attest, by a written statement executed at application, to the:

• Source of pooled funds, • Fact that the pooled funds are not borrowed, • The Related Person has resided with the Borrower for the past year, • The Related Person intends to continue residing with the Borrower in the new residence for

the foreseeable future, and • Relationship between the contributing Related Person and the Borrower (For example, the

affidavit might state that the Related Person is the Borrower's uncle or that the Related Person is the cousin of the Borrower's spouse).



• Evidence that the Borrower and the Related Person have resided together for at least one year,

• A written statement by the Borrower, and• Documentation verifying the pooled funds per the requirements for the applicable asset

type.

Note: The written statement need not be notarized or acknowledged but must be kept in the mortgage file.

Community Savings Accounts

A Community Savings account is a savings system to which members of a community make regular contributions and from which members are entitled to a distribution of funds in accordance with a specified plan. A nonprofit community organization must administer the savings system.

Funds from a community savings account or any other type of pooled savings may be used for down payment if the Borrower can document regular contributions to the fund.

The Borrower’s obligation to continue making contributions to the fund must be considered as part of the borrower’s debt when calculating the total debt-to-income ratio.


Community Savings Systems account statements or a direct account verification must:

• Identify the nonprofit community organization as the administrator, and• Show all Borrower contributions

SOURCES OF NON-DEPOSITORY ASSETS

Stocks, Stock Options, Bonds, and Mutual Funds

Stocks, government bonds, and mutual funds are acceptable sources of funds and may be used for closing costs, down payment, and financial reserves provided their value can be verified. Stock options may also be an acceptable source of funds, but only for closing and down payment, if they are immediately available to the consumer. The value of government bonds must be based on their purchase price unless the redemption value can be documented.

The consumer’s ownership of the account or asset must be verified. When used for closing costs or down payment, the following must also be verified:

• Value of the asset at the time of sale or liquidation• Consumer’s actual receipt of funds realized from the sale or liquidation of the assets if the

stocks, stock options, bonds and mutual funds will be used for the down payment or closing cost

Documentation for stocks, bonds and mutual funds

Obtain one of the following when used for closing costs or down payment:

• Most recent monthly or quarterly statement from the depository or investment firm• Verification of Deposit• Copy of the stock certificate and the current stock prices from a published source


• Evidence of liquidation

Obtain one of the following when used for reserves:

• Most recent monthly or quarterly statement from the depository or investment firm• Verification of Deposit• Copy of the stock certificate and the current stock prices from a published source

Note: When used for reserves, the value of stocks, bonds and mutual funds must be discounted by 30%. Also, non-vested restricted stock is not an acceptable source of reserves.

Documentation for stock options (closing costs and down payment only)


• Most recent monthly or quarterly statement that lists the number of options and the option price

• Current stock prices from a published source

Use the current stock price to determine the gain that would be realized from exercise of an option and the sale of the optioned stock. Non-vested stock options are not an acceptable source of funds.

Note: Stock options are not an acceptable source for reserves.

U.S. Savings Bond

U.S. savings bonds are acceptable sources of funds and may be used for closing costs, down payment, and financial reserves provided their value can be verified.

Documentation


• Verification of the U.S. Savings Bonds, which includes a statement from a financial institution confirming:

◦ The bonds and listing the serial numbers of the bond(s) that have been reviewed◦ Date of maturity◦ Type and amount of bond◦ The borrower as the owner

• Proof of bond value from the appropriate U.S. Treasury Table


• Evidence of liquidation if used for closing costs or down payment

Trust Accounts

Funds disbursed from a consumer’s trust account are an acceptable source for closing costs, down payment and financial reserves provided the consumer has immediate access to the funds.

Documentation


• Written documentation of the value of the trust account from either the trust manager or the trustee. This documentation must identify the trustee including name, address, telephone number and an individual contact.

• Documentation supporting the conditions under which the consumer has access to the funds. This documentation must reflect that the impact that withdrawal of funds will have on trust income used for qualifying.

And, obtain the following when used for closing costs or down payment:

• Evidence of receipt of the disbursed funds from the trust

Retirement Accounts

Vested funds from individual retirement accounts (IRA/SEP/Keogh accounts) and tax-favored retirement savings accounts (401(K) accounts) are acceptable sources of funds for closing costs, down payment and financial reserves.

Verify the ownership of the accounts and the consumer’s actual receipt of the funds realized from the liquidation of the asset if needed to complete the transaction.

When funds from retirement accounts are used for reserves, BB&T does not require the funds to be withdrawn from the account(s). However, BB&T must exercise caution when considering retirement accounts as effective reserves because these accounts often

• Are in the form of stocks, bonds or mutual funds;• Feature significant penalties for early withdrawals;• Allow limited access; or• Have vesting requirements

If the retirement assets are to be considered for reserves, the account must be discounted by 30% to account for market volatility minus any outstanding loans against the asset. In addition, if the consumer is not at retirement age (typically 59 1/2) and will be assessed an early withdrawal penalty, that penalty (10% unless confirmed otherwise) must be added to the discount for a total of 40%. If the consumer is at or above retirement age, the additional 10% penalty does not need to be applied.

In order to be considered as effective reserves, retirement accounts must be vested and allow withdrawals regardless of current employment status.

• Evidence of liquidation if used for closing costs or down payment, or• Evidence that the borrower is permitted to make withdrawals regardless of current

The bridge loan must be considered part of the Consumer’s recurring monthly debt obligations.

Borrowed Funds Secured by an Asset

• the consumer has sufficient liquid funds to cover these charges in addition to funds needed for other closing costs and the down payment; or

• the credit card payment is recalculated to account for the new charges and the updated payment is included in the qualifying ratio calculation.

Personal Unsecured Loans

Personal unsecured loans are not an acceptable source of funds for the down payment, closing costs, or financial reserves.

4:14 NON-CONFORMING NEW CONSTRUCTION: PRE-APPROVAL AND CONVERSION

The following information will outline BB&T Correspondent Lending provisions for Non-Conforming New Construction.

New Construction financing is the purchase and/or development of unimproved land into a residential property, or the substantial renovation of an existing eligible residence. The construction financing is in the name of the Borrower. Upon completion of the property, the Borrower refinances the construction loan into a new permanent mortgage.

Definitions:

• New Construction Financing: The purchase and/or development of unimproved land into a residential property, or the substantial renovation of an existing eligible residence. The financing of the land and/or construction is in the name of the occupant/borrower(s). A single disbursement to a builder is not considered new construction financing.

• New Construction Conversion: A Conversion replaces the interim construction loan with a permanent loan that pays off the original construction Note and releases the original Security Instrument.

• New Construction Modification: A Modification amends the provisions of the original construction Note and Security Instrument with a Loan Modification Agreement that defines the terms of the permanent loan. Loan Modifications are not currently eligible for delivery to BB&T Correspondent Lending.

• New Construction Pre-Approval: A Pre-Approval is a credit only review prior to permanent financing. Full credit verification, disclosures and the identified property are required. A Pre-Approval Fee is collected when submitted for review. This fee, published on the SRP Schedule, is refundable only if loan is denied. A Pre-Approval is subject to full re-verification and documentation at permanent financing. A Pre-Approval is not a guarantee of Permanent Financing.

• Purchase Defined: Borrower does not have recorded ownership of the lot prior to the closing of the Interim Construction loan. Lot Cost plus Construction Costs must be documented. LTV is based on the lesser of Total Acquisition Cost vs. Final Appraised Value.

• Refinance Defined: Borrower does have recorded ownership of the lot prior to the closing of the interim construction loan. Final Appraised Value of 100% completed property is used to determine LTV. However, Total Acquisition Cost is still documented to support reasonable cost of completed construction.

• Total Acquisition Cost: Lot cost or site value plus construction costs.• Calculation of Value:

New Construction:

◾ If the lot is owned 12 months or more prior to the close of the construction loan, then the value used to calculate LTV is based on the Appraised Value, as 100% completed.

◾ If the lot is owned less than 12 months prior to the close of the construction loan, then the value used to calculate LTV is based on the lesser of 1) the Appraised Value, as 100% completed, or 2) the lot cost plus the construction costs.

Renovation:

◾ If the loan is a Renovation and Borrower purchased the home 12 months or more prior to the close of the construction loan, the value is based on the Appraised Value, as 100% completed.

◾ If the loan is for a Renovation and the Borrower purchased the home less than 12 months prior to the close of the construction loan, the value is based on the lesser of: 1) the Appraised Value, as 100% completed, or 2) the Purchase Price prior to the renovation plus the total Renovation Cost.

Lot Acquisition by Gift or Inheritance:

◾ Whether a new construction or a renovation, if the lot is acquired by the Borrower as a gift or by inheritance, the value of the lot (regardless of the date of acquisition) is the Site Value of the lot as reported on the appraisal.

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:15 MORTGAGE INSURANCE OPTIONS

4:15 MORTGAGE INSURANCE OPTIONS

Private mortgage insurance is required on all non-government loans with LTV’s that exceed 80%. Correspondents are responsible for securing private mortgage insurance from an approved provider. All loans requiring MI must be sent for a full underwrite to the MI company.

The private mortgage insurance must comply with secondary market guidelines for coverage, structure, and qualifying. When Mortgage Insurance is required, it is the Correspondent’s responsibility to remit the required insurance premium directly to the mortgage insurer. Should a loan enter into a claim situation and BB&T discovers that the Correspondent has not paid the premium, and the loan is uninsured, the Correspondent will be required to repurchase the uninsured loan.

Private mortgage insurance companies may impose different credit or property restrictions that can impact the ability to secure their coverage. Correspondents are responsible for being knowledgeable of guideline changes and restrictions implemented by the mortgage insurance companies.

BB&T Correspondent Lending does not self-insure loans that exceed 80% or offer pricing adjustments to offset the inability to secure private mortgage insurance on a particular transaction.

Properties located in the state of California are limited to a maximum 80% LTV.

Loans originated under the Non-Conforming/Jumbo ARM products are limited to 80% LTV.

ACCEPTABLE MORTGAGE INSURANCE OPTIONS

• Standard Premium

◦ Monthly Premium MI◦ Split Premium MI combining monthly MI with upfront premium paid at closing. Upfront

premium must be paid by the Borrower, Seller or Builder and cannot be paid through a Lender credit.

NOTE: Split Premium MI where a portion of the borrower-purchased mortgage insurance premium is paid and the other portion is financed in the loan amount is noteligible for delivery.

MORTGAGE INSURANCE CANCELLATION

BB&T follows Homeowner’s Protection Act requirements (minimum 24 month history and current value required prior to PMI deletion; auto termination on the date the loan is first scheduled to reach 78%; this date is provided on the PMI Disclosure.)

The Homeowner’s Protection Act defines “residential mortgage transaction” as a transaction…in which a mortgage, deed of trust, purchase money security interest arising under an installment sales contract, or equivalent consensual security interest is created or retained against a single-family dwelling that is the principal residence of the mortgagor to finance the acquisition, initial construction, or refinancing of that dwelling. BB&T will continue to require that the Truth-in-Lending disclose life-of-loan PMI for second homes.

BB&T is not under any obligation to remove the PMI on any loan prior to the automatic termination date disclosed. A client’s rights as described in the Notice are as follows: Clients have the right to submit a request for PMI deletion once their loan amortizes or is paid down to 80% of the original value. This does not mean the PMI will be removed unconditionally upon receipt of said request. A client has the right to request a PMI deletion review at any time once their loan-to-value ratio reaches 80% of the original value of their home. The 80 % LTV may be achieved ahead of scheduled amortization, but still does not compel the lender to delete the PMI; it is only the benchmark at which the client can submit a request for review. The Act further states that upon receiving any client-initiated request for PMI deletion, the lender can expect certain requirements are met prior to approving the removal of PMI from a loan. Those requirements are shown on the disclosure.

Homeowner’s Protection Act Disclosure

This disclosure is required on all One-Unit, Single-Family and Owner-Occupied residence transactions that are required to maintain private mortgage insurance. A disclosure must be given to the borrower(s), but is not required to be signed.

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:16 APPRAISAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES

4:16 APPRAISAL POLICY AND PROCEDURES

INTRODUCTION

All appraisal reports must establish and support the most probable market value as defined in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). All appraisals must comply with FIRREA (Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989), applicable regulatory requirements, and the policies outlined below. Since it is the policy of BB&T to sell loans in the secondary market, all appraisal reports must comply in all respects with all appraiser independence requirements, restrictions and guidelines including those contained in the Appraiser Independence Requirements as adopted by Freddie Mac (Bulletin 2010-13) and Fannie Mae (Ann. SEL-2010-14) and the Appraisal Independence Requirements set forth in Title XIV, Subtitle F, Section 1472 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act along with the applicable requirements, restrictions and guidelines contained in the BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide.

BB&T does not approve the individual appraisers used by Correspondents. However, BB&T does expect Correspondents to have sound internal procedures for approving and selecting appraisers. These internal procedures should be structured so that the spirit and intent of the appraisal policies and procedures contained herein are included.

Each appraiser must meet legal requirements of the state in which he/she resides and/or practices, and be in good standing with the licensing agency and the state. A favorable indication of an appraiser's professionalism is characterized by having an acceptable Errors & Omissions/Professional Liability Policy in an amount commensurate with the appraisal values to be performed for lending institutions, generally an amount of at least $500,000.

All appraisals must be prepared by qualified, state licensed or certified appraisers who have been approved by the Correspondent. In order to maintain sound lending practices, the appraiser must remain independent and unbiased. For this reason, the Correspondent is responsible for selecting the appraiser. The selected appraiser should in no way have direct or indirect interest in the real estate transaction. Appraisers selected by the Correspondent must be qualified by experience, training, competence and knowledge to perform appraisals that will meet the objective of BB&T and secondary market. In addition, they must have a positive reputation, generate quality appraisals, maintain the capacity for independent judgment, and be committed to continuing education and professional development.

APPRAISAL PORTABILITY

The Correspondent may accept an appraisal prepared by an appraiser for another federally regulated lender (FDIC, OTS, FRB or OCC), financial services institution or Mortgage Banker who is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a federally regulated institution. This definition does not include Mortgage Brokers or Mortgage Bankers who are not wholly-owned subsidiaries of a federally regulated institution. A transfer is acceptable if:

(1) The appraiser has been selected and engaged by the transferring lender;

(2) The appraisal must be in the name of the transferring lender and be accompanied by a transfer letter from the lender signed by a corporate officer (included in submission file); and

(3) The lender assures it is in compliance with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae's Appraiser Independence Requirements.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The appraisal reports prepared by each approved appraiser shall be periodically reviewed by BB&T Correspondent Lending personnel as well as BB&T's Quality Control Department. The reports will be judged on thoroughness, accuracy and usefulness in the underwriting process, and compliance with Investors requirements. If BB&T determines that an appraiser's reports are unsatisfactory in relation to BB&T and/or Secondary Market requirements or if an appraiser has been disciplined by the state, or had their license removed by the state, the appraiser must not be used by a Correspondent.

Each person employed as an appraiser should sign a certification that they will abide by USPAP, and comply with all respects of the appraiser independence requirements, restrictions and guidelines including, but not limited to, those contained in the Appraiser Independence Requirements as adopted by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

MINIMUM APPRAISAL REQUIREMENTS

Appraisals shall be performed by state licensed or certified appraisers and must meet Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae guidelines as applicable. Refer to the Property Analysis section in this section for appraisal format requirements.

At a minimum, all appraisal reports must comply with the following requirements:

• Conform to the USPAP adopted by the Appraisal Standards Board of the Appraisal Foundation;

• Disclose any steps taken that were necessary or appropriate to comply with the Competency Provision of the USPAP; and

• Be based on the definition of market value as set forth below:

"The most probable price which a property should bring in a competitive and open market under all conditions requisite to a fair sale, the buyer and seller each acting prudently and knowledgeably, and assuming the price is not affected by undue stimulus". Implicit in the definition is the consummation of a sale as of a specified date and the passing of title from seller to buyer under conditions whereby:

◦ Buyer and seller are typically motivated;◦ Both parties are well informed or well advised, and acting in what they consider their

best interests;◦ A reasonable time is allowed for exposure in the open market;

• Payment is made in terms of cash in U. S. dollars or terms of financial arrangements comparable thereto;

And• The price represents the normal considerations for the property sold unaffected by special

or creative financing or sale concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale.• Be sufficiently descriptive to enable the reader to ascertain the estimated market value,

the rationale for the estimate, and provide detail and depth of analysis where appropriate that reflects the complexity of the real estate being appraised.

• Analyze and report in reasonable detail any prior sales for the previous year on the property being appraised.

• Analyze and report a reasonable marketing period for the subject property.• Analyze and report appropriate deductions and discounts for any proposed construction, or

any completed properties that are partially leased or leased at other than market rents as of the date of the appraisal, or any tract developments with unsold units.

• Contain sufficient supporting documentation with all pertinent information reported so that the appraiser's logic, reasoning, judgment, and analysis in arriving at a conclusion indicate to the reader the reasonableness of the market value reported.

• Include a legal description of the real estate being appraised, as required by the USPAP.• Analyze and describe the neighborhood, site, and highest and best use of property.• Identify and separately value any personal property, fixtures, or intangible items that are

not real property but are included in the appraisal, and discuss the impact of their inclusion or exclusion on the estimate of market value.

• Follow a reasonable valuation method that addresses the direct sales comparison, income, and cost approaches to market value, reconciles those approaches and explains the elimination of each approach not used.

• Identify whether or not any part of the subject is located in a special flood hazard area and disclose both the source used and method employed to make the determination.

• Locate and give the census tract for the property being appraised.• If information required or deemed pertinent to the completion of an appraisal report is

unavailable, the fact shall be disclosed and explained in the appraisal.

DIGITAL PHOTOS/ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES

Electronic imaging is acceptable for the appraiser's signature provided the appraisal contains the following (or similar language):

"The signatures affixed to this report were applied by the original appraiser(s) or supervisory appraiser and represents their acknowledgements of the facts, opinion and conclusion found in the report. Each appraiser may apply their own signature electronically. Electronically applied signatures use password-protected digital methods. They have the same or more safeguards and carry the same validity as the appraiser(s) hand applied signature".

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:17 PROPERTY ANALYSIS

4:17 PROPERTY ANALYSIS

BB&T Correspondent Lending follows standard appraisal procedures for documentation and disclosure on all appraisals. Some issues regarding specific areas of appraisals are addressed below. BB&T Correspondent Lending Underwriting is available to discuss or review any unusual circumstances that may apply to a particular property.

APPRAISAL FORMAT

• For loan amounts exceeding the Conforming limit up to and including $1,000,000 - a full interior/exterior URAR (Freddie Mac Form 70 or Fannie Mae Form 1004 for 1 unit properties; Freddie Mac Form 72/Fannie Mae Form 1025 for 2 unit properties) with all applicable addendums is required. See "Photographs" section regarding requirements of interior/exterior appraisals.

• For loan amounts greater than $1,000,000 - Two full interior/exterior URAR’s (Freddie Mac Form 70 or Fannie Mae Form 1004 for 1 unit properties; Freddie Mac Form 72/Fannie Mae Form 1025 for 2 unit properties) with all applicable addendums are required for loan amounts greater than $1,000,000. BB&T Correspondent Lending review of both appraisals required for loan decision. See "Photographs" section regarding requirements of interior/exterior appraisals.

• The Market Conditions Addendum (Freddie Mac Form 71 and Fannie Mae Form 1004MC) are required for all property types and appraisal types completed on or after 4-1-2009.

• For additional information regarding acceptable appraisal forms, see the "Appraisal Form Matrix" located under "Matrices" in the Correspondent Lending Library.

Re-Certification of Value/Appraisal Update

• If the effective date of the appraisal report is more than 120 days before the Note Date, and not more than 12 months before the Note Date, an Appraisal Update (Freddie Mac Form 442/Fannie Mae Form 1004D) with at least an exterior-only inspection is required. The Note Date is equivalent to the Effective Date of Permanent Financing when the Mortgage is a Construction Conversion or Renovation Mortgage.

• If the effective date of the appraisal report is more than 12 months before the Note Date, a new appraisal with an interior and exterior inspection is required.

Re-Use of an Appraisal Report for a Subsequent Transaction

When an appraisal is required for a subsequent transaction secured by the Mortgaged Premises, the prior appraisal report may be re-used if an Appraisal Update (Freddie Mac Form 442/Fannie Mae Form 1004D) is obtained and the following requirements are met:

• The Borrowers on the new transaction must be the Borrowers on the prior transaction. The only exception is in the event of a divorce or legal separation. The Borrower for the new transaction must be one of the Borrowers on the prior transaction, and the file must document that the Borrower for the new transaction obtained the property through a divorce or legal separation.

• Since the effective date of the prior appraisal report, the Mortgaged Premises must not have undergone any substantial rehabilitation or renovation or have been affected by disaster to the extent that the improvement or deterioration of the property would affect marketability or market value.

• The new transaction may not be a purchase transaction, a cash-out refinancing, or a payoff of secondary financing.

• Refer to Section 4:14, Non-Conforming New Construction: Pre-Approval and Conversion if the refinance will pay off a construction loan.

• The appraisal report from the prior transaction must meet all the following requirements:

◦ The effective date of the appraisal report from the prior transaction must not be more than 12 months prior to the Note Date of the subsequent transaction.

◦ The lender/client is the Correspondent submitting the loan file. ◦ The Appraisal Update (Freddie Mac Form 442/Fannie Mae Form 1004D) must meet all

requirements and reflect the Mortgage transaction (e.g., the current Borrowers, the appropriate transaction type, owner of record, lender/client).

Photographs

When an interior and exterior appraisal inspection is performed on the subject property, it is now required that interior photographs of specific rooms and areas be included. At a minimum, pictures of the following rooms are required. This is in addition to the typical exterior inspection pictures, front, rear and street scenes. Additional room pictures are also acceptable.

• The kitchen;• All bathrooms;• Main living area;• Examples of physical deterioration, if present;• Examples of recent updates, such as restoration, remodeling, and renovation, if present;

and• Examples of amenities, conditions and external influences that materially impact market

value or marketability.

Challenge to Value

When the Correspondent Underwriter has reviewed the appraisal and disagrees with the value, the underwriter should seek to resolve its concerns with the appraiser as a normal process; i.e. obtaining additional comps or sales listings to help support the current value. The Correspondent Underwriter should not adjust the value but rather discuss with the appraiser their concerns. After discussion with the appraiser, if the appraisal value is still deemed unacceptable, another appraisal may be obtained from another approved appraiser provided the initial appraisal is found to be flawed or tainted and the basis for such determination is documented in the file or, when written pre-established policies allow for a second appraisal or if required by law. If a second appraisal is obtained, and found acceptable, the lower value of the two appraisals must be used. Any deficiencies to the appraisal that cannot be resolved through normal channels would make the property unacceptable. Files submitted with more than one appraisal which is outside the Correspondent Lending Underwriting and Product guidelines must include an acceptable explanation as to its presence in the loan file.

Appraisal Sources

Appraisals must list both data sources and verification sources with respect to comparable sales selected by the appraiser. If the Correspondent Underwriters find appraisers are not doing this correctly, then interaction with the appraiser is necessary to receive the complete data required.

Comparable Sales for Distressed Properties

For a subject property that is the result of a foreclosure, short sale or builder sale, the appraiser is responsible for determining which comparables are most appropriate for the assignment at hand. The appraisal must be reviewed to ensure the comparables are reflective of other foreclosure, short sales or builder sales.

Seller Concessions

Excessive seller concessions artificially inflate the sale price of the property, thus leading to an inflated market value. In particular, closer scrutiny to unusual sales or financing concessions is necessary to ensure they are properly accounted for in the appraisal report.

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:18 GENERAL APPRAISAL REQUIREMENTS

4:18 GENERAL APPRAISAL REQUIREMENTS

• Re-use of an existing appraisal for a subsequent refinance is permitted. See Section 4:17 for details.

• The appraisal must be requested by the Correspondent and it must be signed by an appraiser approved by the Correspondent. (BB&T will not accept appraisals made for the borrower).

• For additional information regarding BB&T Correspondent Lending’s appraisal format and/or re-certification of value requirements, see the "Property Analysis" section (4.17).

• The appraisal must include the appraiser's license/certification number and the license/certification expiration date.

• The appraisal must include the thirty-six month sales history for the subject property. "N/A" is not an acceptable response.

• At least three of the comparable sales must be:

◦ Similar to and located near the subject property◦ Closed sales◦ Recently sold (if the sale of the comparable property occurred more than twelve

months before the date of the appraisal, the appraiser must justify in the appraisal report the use of the comparable property).

◦ Additional comparables are permitted to be used, including listings and pending sales, to support adjustments and conclusions if they are representative of market trends in the area. These additional comparables may contribute significantly to understanding unusual situations, such as limited markets, neighborhoods with little turnover of property, and area with a variety of distinct property values.

◦ For properties located in established subdivisions, or for units established condominium or PUD projects (those that have resale activity) the appraisal report may use three comparable sales from within that subject project or subdivision.

◦ If the subject property is in a controlled market (such as a new subdivision or project, a newly converted project, or an area where the property seller owns a substantial number of units), at least one comparable sale must be outside the influence of the developer, builder, or property seller.

◦ Careful consideration should be given when lending above predominant value.

◦ Any rating less than average must be explained by the appraiser. "Fair" ratings on properties are below market standard. Unless corrected/improved prior to closing, are generally ineligible.

◦ The neighborhood analysis must contain an accurate description of the subject neighborhood and the factors which influence market value and marketability in the neighborhood. The information presented in the neighborhood analysis must be complete and must be consistent with, and support, the conclusions reached by the appraiser throughout the appraisal report.

◦ Correspondents are expected to know whether or not a property is subject to any special assessments and to be aware of the effect of the assessment on the property's value and marketability. Appraisers are required to reflect the effect of the assessment on the value or marketability of the property, if applicable.

◦ BB&T does require escrow for the payment of special assessments but not limited to front foot assessments, user benefit fees, water/sewer fees, etc.

◦ Unfavorable factors revealed in the neighborhood analysis require the appraiser to address the impact of those factors on the value and marketability. If the appraisal report demonstrates that there is a viable market for housing in the neighborhood or that the neighborhood is undergoing revitalization, the unfavorable factors do not necessarily make the mortgage ineligible for sale to BB&T. An appraiser may use a block-by-block analysis in neighborhoods that have undergone significant deterioration or abandonment in the past, but are now undergoing an evident revitalization effort, to demonstrate that there is viable market for housing.

In this analysis, the appraiser should describe the extent of revitalization efforts under way, the demand evidenced for renovated housing and the boundaries of the revitalized are being used as the subject neighborhood. This analysis must be consistent with the date presented and support the conclusions reached by the appraiser throughout the report.

• Unusual floor plans, layouts or equipment should be carefully analyzed. An unusual floor plan, such as a home with tandem bedrooms, or a bathroom off the kitchen, does not necessarily make the property ineligible for financing. The appraiser should address whether the floor plan or similar obsolescence is also found in other properties in the neighborhood.

• Adjustment calculations should be checked for accuracy.• Room layout sketch. An interior room layout sketch is acceptable for condominiums and

interior attached PUD's. An exterior room layout sketch is required on all 1-unit detached and end unit attached PUD's.

• Photographs: When an interior and exterior appraisal inspection is performed on the subject property, it is required that interior photographs of specific rooms and areas be included. At a minimum, pictures of the following rooms are required: kitchen, all bathrooms, main living area, physical deterioration, if present, restoration, remodeling and renovation, if present and amenities, conditions and external influences that materially impact market value or marketability. This is in addition to the typical exterior inspection pictures, front, rear and street scenes and pictures of comparables. Black and white digitally produced photographs are acceptable provided they are clear, concise, and give a good representation of the subject, comparable, and street scene.

• Statement of limiting conditions signed by the appraiser (Freddie Mac Form 439) must be attached to the appraisal.

• Adjustments to the comparables must be made for special or creative financing or sales concessions. Any adjustment should not be calculated on a mechanical dollar cost of financing concession. The dollar amount of any adjustment should be approximate the market's reaction to the financing or on cessions based on the appraiser's judgment.

Note: If a particular purchase transaction involved the sale from a close family member (i.e., parent to child), the appraiser is required to address the effect on marketability, if any, and indicate any necessary adjustments under "Sales or Financing Concessions" for the subject property and the comparables.

Personal Property in Transactions

The appraiser's opinion of market value of the subject property must not include any value assigned to personal property, including, but not limited to, items such as boats, any boat docks, boat slips, art work, parking spaces, or anything else that is not considered real property.

• Factors to be considered when determining if a property is residential are:

◦ the type of improvements on the subject property and neighborhood properties◦ the current use of the subject property and neighboring properties◦ the degree, amount and type of development occurring in the area◦ pending zoning changes or changes in the use of the properties in the area

◦ whether the subject property and neighboring properties are residential or marketable (the location of retail and office property in the neighborhood of the subject property does not necessarily make the subject property ineligible.

◦ whether the land size and land-value-to-value ratio are typical• BB&T will not accept any mortgages supported by an appraisal report that makes

reference to the race, color, religion or national origin of any person or the racial composition of the neighborhood.

• The appraiser must complete the flood hazard information (i.e. FEMA Zone, FEMA Map Number, and Map Date).

• The Cost Approach is required only for new properties, properties that are unique because of their styles or construction methods, or for properties that have functional obsolescence. It is not required for condo units or attached PUD units. Whether or not the cost approach is provided, the estimated site value must always be included for all detached properties. Using the cost approach alone for the market value is unacceptable.

• The property must be habitable as a year-round residence. The improvement analysis must indicate how the subject property compares to competing properties in the subject neighborhood. An estimate of remaining economic life is not required.

Appraisal Best Practices

Appraiser qualifications

• Lenders should review appraisers' licensing and performance at least once each licensing cycle.

• Lenders should consider membership in a professional appraisal organization as a qualification criterion, but membership or lack of membership in such an organization should not be the only criterion for or against approving, appraisers, or selecting appraisers for specific assignments.

Lender staff qualifications

• Staff must be trained to properly underwrite the appraisal to ensure that the appraiser's opinion of value meets the definition of "market value", and that the appraisal is accurate and fully supported.

• Staff should be familiar with Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, applicable laws, and Freddie Mac appraisal requirements.

• Staff must be familiar with Appraiser Independence Requirements.

Appraiser selection

• Ensure that turn times for appraisers to perform appraisals are reasonable as unreasonable turn times may adversely affect the quality and accuracy of the appraisals.

• Some markets or properties may require that the appraiser have access to non-traditional data sources in order to provide the Lender with a credible appraisal. In such cases, the Lender should ensure that the appraiser have access to the necessary market data to support any conclusions about the market.

• Underwriting and any appraisal reviews should include the following:

◦ All appraisal photos.◦ Maps used to identify the location of comparable sales in relation to the subject

property.◦ Sales history of the mortgage premises to determine consistency with other file

documentation.◦ Current listings and pending sales support any adjustments, (Ensure that if the

appraiser determines that older sales are more representative of the subject property, the appraiser has provided current listings or pending sales to support any time adjustments or lack of adjustments for the differences in the age of the sales.)

◦ Comparison of the original appraisal report or inspection report to the review appraisal report, if one was obtained for conflicting information; the Lender should have policies and procedures in place to reconcile conflicting information.

◦ Review the appraiser signature, license number, and date of report.◦ Have processes in place in which the appraisal, loan application and title work are

compared for consistency, and comparison of the application and legal documents to the property description is provided by the appraiser.

◦ Perform random and target reviews.◦ Be aware of market trends in the markets the Lender originated mortgages.

• Lenders should also thoroughly review the mortgage file to identify and investigate the following appraisal red flags:

◦ Comparables not independently verified or recorded.◦ Value not supported by the comparables, and/or the comparables are not appropriate.◦ Incorrect appraisal report form or inspection type for the type of transaction.◦ Inconsistencies or unexplained errors.◦ Typographical and mathematical errors.◦ Appraiser is not familiar with the market in which the property in located.◦ Appraisal ordered prior to the sales contract date.◦ Completion certification required and not in the mortgage file.

• The Lender's due diligence in monitoring the quality and accuracy of appraisals is part of the Lender's responsibility for the quality of its lending. Lender's policies and procedures for valuation should address the following:

◦ The selection of appraisers in compliance with FHFA appraisal requirements, Appraiser Independence Requirements and Freddie Mac requirements.

◦ Monitoring the quality and accuracy of appraisals performed by individual appraisers.◦ Knowledgeable staff underwriting appraisals and performing quality control for

appraisals.◦ Appraiser's opinion of value reflects the cash-equivalent price without undue stimulus

such as concessions.◦ Use of automated valuation models and other tools to monitor appraisals quality.

4:19 CONDOMINIUM REQUIREMENTS

BB&T's Condominium Policy Concerning Classification Certification and Warranties

Each condominium loan delivered to BB&T must be classified to secondary market industry standards. BB&T adopts Freddie Mac guidelines as the benchmark for classifying condominium properties.

BB&T Correspondent Lending is now offering the Correspondent more flexibility in classifying condominiums. This flexibility allows Fannie Mae Approved condos to be delivered to BB&T. Reference tools are available to help the Correspondents meet the requirements for condominium delivery. They are available in the Forms folder located in the BB&T Correspondent Lending Library within the document named "BB&T Condominium Guidelines" as well as the links listed below:

Standard Freddie Mac definitions and minimum requirements are located in the Freddie Mac Seller/Servicer guide: http://www.freddiemac.com/singlefamily/guide/

Condominiums approved under Fannie Mae’s Reciprocal Project Review option are eligible for delivery to BB&T. Requirements are located in the Freddie Mac Seller/Servicer guide.

The following link also provides a quick reference for minimum requirements:

http://www.freddiemac.com/learn/pdfs/uw/condo.pdf

The Condominium Classification Certification must be completed and included in each condominium file. This form allows the Correspondent to indicate which classification to apply to the particular property, and also requires the Correspondent to review the current budget for the HOA (or if applicable, Project Reserve Study) and declaration page for the current insurance policies. These documents must be submitted in the loan package.

Full Condominium Review: Complete the Condominium Classification Certification. Provide completed Condominium Project Questionnaire – Full Form or comparable form with all appropriate attachments including current budget for the HOA and declaration page for the current insurance policies. Questionnaire must be completed by the HOA representative.

Note: If the reserve requirements cannot be identified from the HOA budget, BB&T will require the reserve study.

Allowances and Limitations

• BB&T requires the completion of the Condominium Project Questionnaire – Full Form or comparable form on all classifications except Detached condominiums. The Correspondent is responsible for reviewing the appraisal and all HOA information including the current budget (or if applicable, Project Reserve Study) along with the declaration page for the current insurance policies to determine the appropriate classification. This classification is then noted on the Condominium Classification Certification. The completed and signed Certification, appropriate attachments including current budget for

the HOA, and declaration page for the current insurance policies are also required to be submitted with the loan package.

Note: If the reserve requirements cannot be identified from the HOA budget, BB&T will require the reserve study.

• All condominiums must be classed for delivery to BB&T. • Non-Conforming loans are not eligible for the Streamlined Review (Freddie Mac).• BB&T will accept either Fannie Mae approved projects (CPM or PERS) depending

whether it’s a new or established condo, or Freddie Mac classed condos.

FLORIDA PROPERTIES

Florida condominium properties that are new projects or newly converted projects are eligible only if approved through Fannie Mae’s PERS process. New condominium projects for which evidence of PERS approval cannot be provided are not eligible for delivery.

• Master Association. If the subject PUD is part of a Master Association, the Master Association must meet PUD requirements.

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:21 DECLINING MARKET POLICY

4:21 DECLINING MARKET POLICY

OVERVIEW

Conditions in the real estate industry have resulted in declining value in many markets. BB&T is implementing the following policy in order to mitigate some of the collateral risk associated with declining markets. A list of declining/at risk markets will be updated periodically and posted on BB&T's website. BB&T has identified two market conditions which are defined below.

Declining markets are experiencing depreciation of value and home prices are expected to continue trending downward.

Severely Declining markets are experiencing significant depreciation of value which is expected to continue into the future.

Non-Conforming Loans (includes Fixed Rate and ARMs)

• Property located in a Declining market requires 5% LTV/TLTV reduction from maximum allowed financing for the property and transaction type. The LTV/TLTV may not exceed 80%. For example, if the maximum LTV for the application is 80% LTV and 80% TLTV, the maximum allowed in a Declining market is 75% LTV and 75% TLTV. If the maximum LTV for the application is 70% LTV and 70% TLTV, the maximum allowed in a Declining market is 65% LTV and 65% TLTV.

• Property located in a Severely Declining market requires a 10% LTV/TLTV reduction from maximum allowing financing for the property and transaction type. The LTV/TLTV may not exceed 75%. For example, if the maximum LTV for application is 80% LTV and 80% TLTV, the maximum allowed in a Severely Declining market is 70% LTV and 70% TLTV. If the maximum LTV/TLTV for the application is 70% LTV and 70% TLTV, the maximum allowed in a Severely Declining market is 60% LTV and 60% TLTV.

• If property is not on the list and the appraiser indicates a Declining Market, the LTV/TLTV must be reduced by 5%. The LTV/TLTV may not exceed an 80% LTV/TLTV.

• If the appraiser indicates that the Marketing Time is "over 6 months" on a Non-Conforming appraisal, Management in its discretion will consider acceptable loan risk tolerance. This may result in a reduction in allowable loan amount for LTV maximums.

Construction Conversion and Renovation Mortgages – Non-Conforming

If the property is not on the BB&T Correspondent Lending At Risk Markets list and the appraiser indicates declining property values, the market condition will be considered declining. Refer to the LTV Charts for Non-Conforming, Declining and Severely Declining market requirements.

Exceptions to this policy will be entertained if the appraisal supports that values and marketability are stable. The requirements listed below in the Exceptions Policy section must be met.

Exceptions Policy

Exceptions to this policy will be entertained if the appraisal supports that values and marketability are stable.

All of the following must be provided:

• The application is not for Non-Conforming loans that involve a Cash Out Refinance or condo.

• The appraiser provides days on market for each comparable sale, including expired listings of the property reflected on the first page of the appraiser's report.

• The three closed comparable sales must have closed no more than six months from the date of the appraisal report.

• At least two of the comparable sales must have closed no more than three months from the date of the appraisal report.

• At least one pending sale is provided, as an additional comparable evidencing the market is stable.

• Adjustments to comparables must be in the standard 15% net and 25% gross adjustment range.

• Comparable sales should be located within one mile of the subject for urban and suburban areas and within ten (10) miles of the subject for rural areas.

Additional Information

• This revision to our Declining Market Policy is effective with loans registered, locked or relocked with BB&T on or after July 18, 2016. Loans registered or locked prior to July 18, 2016 may be delivered provided they meet all of our previous Declining Market requirements.

• BB&T’s revised list of At Risk Markets is located on the website in the BB&T Correspondent Lending Library under the Matrices section.

• The registration confirmation will notify Correspondents that the property may be located in a Declining Market. Loans received for funding will be audited for compliance with BB&T Correspondent Lending’s LTV/TLTV guidelines for Declining Markets. Any loan which exceeds our LTV/TLTV guidelines will not be funded

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:22 PROPERTY FLIP GUIDELINES

4:22 PROPERTY FLIP GUIDELINES

A large increase in property value coupled with a short time period between transactions may indicate that the property is being flipped. Properties targeted for property flips generally include properties that can be acquired at lower prices than other properties in the same neighborhood and often include real estate owned (REO) properties, properties subject to a "short sale", other distressed properties or newly constructed properties where the builder or developer must liquidate housing inventory quickly. Property flips are not inherently illegal and not all transactions involving a rapid purchase and resale are improper.

Some indications of property flip transactions that may be legitimate include:

• Sales of properties by a Government Sponsored Enterprise, state or federally chartered financial institution, mortgage insurer, or federal, state or local government agency.

• Property sales by employers or relocation agencies related to employee relocations.• Sales of properties that are acquired by the property seller through inheritance, divorce, or

as a result of legal settlement or proceeding.• Sales of properties that have been substantially improved by bona fide and verified

renovations since the property was acquired by the property seller in which any increase in sales price over the seller's acquisition cost is representative of the market given the improvements to the home.

• Sales of properties that the property seller acquired at below market value after purchasing as a result of a distress sale (i.e. REO sale, short sale, tax lien sale, bankruptcy trustee's sales, etc.) where any increase in the sales price over the property seller's acquisition cost can be clearly shown to be a result of the difference (if any) in the market's reaction to distress and typical arms-length market sales.

Best Practices for Loans Involving Property Flips or Suspected Property Flips

To assist Lenders in their responsibility to ensure that any Mortgage involving a property flip or suspected property flip meets BB&T's definition of an investment quality Mortgage, Freddie Mac recommends that they consider adopting the following best practices:

Appraisals

• Be particularly selective in choosing appraisers who are familiar with the subject property's market area and are competent to appraise properties involved in complex transactions.

• Use automated valuation models and other collateral risk assessment tools in the origination and pre-funding quality control process to detect fraud and objectively measure the accuracy of the appraisal. Freddie Mac recommends the use of Home Value Explorer (HVE). More information about HVE can be found at http://www.freddiemac.com/hve/

• Make certain that the underwriters or reviewers who evaluate appraisals involving questionable transactions have experience, training and knowledge related to property flip transactions.

• Perform additional due diligence by obtaining either a field or desk review of the appraisal or a second appraisal if the Lender suspects that the increase in sales price/value is unreasonable or unusually large within the context of the property's market.

Miscellaneous Underwriting/Closing/Title Issues

• Perform additional due diligence in reviewing the chain of title of the property including a search of the public land records for any recorded options contracts on the subject property and research any recent title transfer activity. Exercise additional due diligence to reconcile any differences in the owner of record as in the appraisal or any other documentation including the title report.

• Exercise additional due diligence when analyzing sales contracts and other documentation. Carefully analyze sales contracts looking for terms indicating there have been assignments or sale of the seller's interest in a contract or option to acquire the property.

• Draft additional closing instructions designed to prevent title companies and/or attorneys from conducting two or more closings in quick succession without prior approval.

• Analyze and review estimated and final Settlement/Closing Disclosure Statement for unusual payments to parties not having a recorded interest on the property and abnormal real estate commission payments.

• Include effective provisions within Lender’s quality control programs designed to detect transactions that are property flips and evaluate such transactions to identify transactions that are improper. Report suspected cases of fraud to appropriate agencies.

• Train all employees and personnel involved in the loan production process and the quality control function on the issues regarding property flips including the characteristics associated with improper property flips.

BB&T Correspondent Lending’s policy requires any resale of a property to be no less than six months from the date of the seller’s recorded deed to the new buyer’s initial application date. Credit and collateral documentation must be dated on or after the application date.

Exceptions may be for the following reasons:

• Resale of property obtained through an inheritance.• Resale of property acquired as a result of a divorce agreement.• Resale of property directly from a Federally Chartered Institution or HUD.• Resale of property from a relocation company.

BB&T Correspondent Lending/BB&T Correspondent Lending Guide/Non-Conforming/Jumbo Underwriting Guidelines (09/25/17)/4:23 MISCELLANEOUS

4:23 MISCELLANEOUS

ESCROW FOR COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION OR REPAIRS

BB&T does not encourage escrowing for completion or repairs; however, if the improvements or repairs cannot be completed for valid reason, i.e. inclement weather or shortages of materials, funds may be escrowed for 1-1/2 times the required amount to complete the work. Examples of typical items which are commonly escrowed include landscaping, wallpaper, minor trim, minor painting or minor repairs. The appraiser or the party completing the work should notify the Correspondent of the amount required to complete or repair the property. The borrower must have sufficient assets verified on

deposit if he will be responsible for the repairs. The items not completed may not adversely affect the habitability or structural integrity of the property, and the incomplete items may not exceed 10% of the value of the completed mortgage premiums. Mortgage insurance and Title Insurance must not take exception to the escrow and completion normally takes two weeks to thirty days. The escrowed funds are to be held by the closing attorney. The Correspondent is required to submit to BB&T a final inspection with pictures, if applicable, to document that the repairs are completed prior to releasing the escrow funds.

ACREAGE

BB&T does not impose maximum limits on acreage. However, the following guidelines should be considered when reviewing properties with acreage:

• The comparables must be within a reasonable radius, are recent closed sales and have similar land size and valuation.

• Properties with excessive acreage are generally not considered to meet residential definition.

• No income-producing activity or potential activity whatsoever is allowed on the acreage (tree farms, orchards, boarding or training facilities, etc.)

• Land valuation should be typical for the residential properties in the market. Adjustments for excess acreage for comparables should be minimal and an explanation provided on the effect these differences have on the subject property's value or marketability.

• Additional residential structures (including homes) or significant/numerous outbuildings are not permitted.

PROPERTY ACCESS

• Access must be generally acceptable to community standards.• Recorded maintenance agreement is not required. See additional requirements below for

title exceptions.• At least one comparable should exhibit similar access. • Access to property must have a legally enforceable ingress and egress. This is usually

documented on public record as an access easement and must appear on the final title policy.

• A signed private road maintenance agreement is required when a title exception exists for the subject property being located on a private road.

ZONING

Property should be zoned residential. No commercial zoning permitted.

INCIDENTAL SECOND UNITS

Freddie Mac Appraisal Form 70 is used for properties that have a second unit that is incidental to the overall value and appearance of the subject property, provided rental income is not considered in qualifying. Examples of such properties include a house with a unit above a detached garage or a house with a guest apartment or basement unit. The appraisal must describe the second unit and analyze any effect on the value or marketability of the subject property. Comparables should also include properties with incidental second units.

SOLAR PANELS

Mortgages secured by properties with solar panels must meet the following property eligibility requirements:

Properties with solar panels owned by the Borrower

If the Borrower owns the solar panels on the property, the Appraiser must recognize the existence of the solar panels and consider the solar panels in their opinion of the market value. Additionally, the property must maintain access to electrical utilities consistent with community standards.

Properties with solar panels subject to lease agreement

If the subject property has solar panels subject to a lease agreement, power purchase agreement (PPA) or similar type of agreement:

• The solar panels must not be included in the appraised value of the property• The property must maintain access to electrical utilities consistent with community

standards; and• The lease agreement, PPA or other similar agreement must provide that:

◦ Any damage that occurs as a result of installation, malfunction, manufacturing defect or removal of the solar panels is the responsibility of the owner of the equipment. Additionally, the owner of the equipment must be obligated to repair the damage and

return the improvements to their original or prior condition (for example, sound and watertight conditions that are architecturally consistent with the home);

◦ The owner of the solar panels agrees to not be a loss payee (or named insured) on the homeowners insurance policy covering the property; and

◦ In the event of foreclosure, the Lender or assignee has the discretion to:

◾ Terminate the lease agreement or PPA and require the owner of the equipment to remove the panels and supporting equipment

◾ Become the beneficiary of the Borrower’s lease agreement or PPA without incurring a transfer fee; or

◾ Enter into a new lease agreement or PPA with the owner of the equipment under terms no less favorable than the existing lease agreement or PPA

• The Mortgage file must contain a copy of the lease agreement, PPA or similar type of agreement, as applicable. Correspondents must review the solar panel documentation.

The Solar Panel Certification available through the BB&T Correspondent Lending website is provided as a helpful tool and is not mandatory.

4:24 PROPERTY TYPES

LAND CONTRACTS

Not permitted under any loan type or program.

LEASEHOLD ESTATES

Appraisal Requirements

For leasehold Mortgages, the appraiser must develop a detailed description of the terms, conditions, and restrictions of the ground lease. The appraiser must consider and report any effect the terms of the lease have on the value and marketability of the Mortgaged Premises.

When there are similar leasehold sales available that have the same lease terms, the appraiser should use these sales as comparable sales. If sales of properties with the same lease terms are not available, the appraiser should use other similar leasehold sales having different lease terms as comparable sales. The appraiser must describe the differences in the terms of the leases, and report any effect the differences have on the value and marketability of the Mortgaged Premises.

If there are no sales of leasehold properties, the appraiser should use sales of similar properties owned in fee simple as comparable sales. The appraiser must explain why the use of sales with different property rights is appropriate, and make appropriate adjustments to reflect the market's reaction to these differences.

For Condo Projects and PUDs on leasehold estates, the appraiser must also:

• Provide a description of the Common Elements including Amenities• Comment on the ground rent for the subject property and the competing properties

Eligible Property Types

A Mortgage that is secured by a leasehold interest is considered to be a leasehold Mortgage. The following property types are eligible to secure leasehold Mortgages:

• 1 to 4-unit properties• Planned Unit Development (PUD) units• Condominium Units

Terms

The following terms apply for purposes of this section:

• Basic Rent

The amount paid for the use of the leasehold estate under the terms of the lease (or sublease, if applicable). Basic rent does not include:

• Ground lease community

A planned residential development, including infrastructure, common areas and community facilities for use by the individual lessee, with the following characteristics:

1. Under the terms of the lease, the individual lessee holds a real property leasehold estate in a parcel of land improved by a dwelling and has an undivided common interest in the infrastructure, common areas and community facilities

2. The ground lease community is either a Planned Unit Development (PUD) or Condominium Project, administered by a HOA; or the community is administered by the fee simple land owner/lessor that owns, and is obligated under the lease to maintain, the infrastructure, common areas and community facilities for the common use and benefit of the individual lessees.

• Leasehold mortgagee

The mortgagee that has a lien on the lessee's (or sub lessee’s) leasehold estate including improvements.

• Non-disturbance and attornment agreement

An agreement from the fee simple lienholder to accept the terms of the lease and not to interfere with the rights of the lessee in the use of the leasehold estate if it acquires title to the lessor's fee simple interest provided the lessee is not in default under the terms of the lease.

A non-disturbance and attornment agreement may also be an agreement from the fee simple lessor to accept the terms of a sublease and not to interfere with the rights of the sub lessee in the use of the leasehold estate if the lease between the fee simple lessor and the sub lessor terminates provided the sub lessee is not in default under the terms of the sublease.

Warranties

For each leasehold Mortgage, Correspondent warrants the following:

1. The leasehold Mortgage constitutes an interest in real estate

2. The lease and any sublease (including all amendments) are recorded in the appropriate land records. A memorandum of lease or sublease may be recorded in lieu of the complete lease or sublease.

3. The lease is in full force and effect and is binding and enforceable against the lessor.

4. If the lessor's fee simple interest in the land is subject to any encumbrances or liens, the fee simple lienholder has executed and recorded a non-disturbance and attornment agreement that contains the following provisions:

• The lease or any of the rights of the lessee under the lease will not be terminated or otherwise affected by enforcement of any lien or other rights granted to the fee simple lienholder.

• The rights of the leasehold mortgagee will not be terminated or otherwise affected by enforcement of any lien or rights granted to the fee simple lienholder.

• The fee simple lienholder will not name the lessee or the leasehold mortgagee as a party defendant in any action to enforce its lien.

• If the fee simple lienholder forecloses on its lien, the lease will continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the fee simple lienholder and the lessee or, if applicable, the leasehold mortgagee.

• The fee simple lienholder will accept the attornment of the lessee.• The lien of the fee simple lienholder on the real property does not extend to the

improvements and fixtures, real or personal property owned by the lessee.• The lessee and the leasehold mortgagee have no liability or obligation to the fee

simple lienholder in connection with its lien on the fee simple interest.• Condemnation and insurance proceeds awarded to the lessor will be used for the

restoration, repair or replacement of the property damaged or taken by condemnation if economically feasible.

The non-disturbance provisions listed above may be contingent on the lease being in full force and effect and the lessee (or the leasehold mortgagee if it has exercised its rights under the lease and the leasehold mortgage) not being in default in the payment of rent, taxes or property insurance.

If the lease contains any provisions requiring the lessee to agree to the subordination of the lease to liens or encumbrances on the fee simple interest, these provisions must be conditioned on the lessee and the leasehold mortgagee receiving a recorded non-disturbance and attornment agreement that contains the provisions stated above and is executed by the fee simple lienholder.

Required lease provisions

The lease (or sublease) must:

1. Permit mortgaging of the leasehold (or sub-leasehold) estate

2. Permit assignments of the leasehold (or sub-leasehold) estate, including any improvements on the leasehold estate, without the lessor's consent; however, if the leasehold is in a restricted community, including but not limited to communities restricted to residents of certain ages or income, the lease must require that the assignee/lessee satisfy those restrictions.

The lease may permit the lessor to review and consent to or deny a proposed assignee/lessee based on whether the proposed assignee/lessee satisfies the creditworthiness requirements of BB&T. The lessor will have five Business Days after receipt of the application to deny the assignee/lessee.

The lease may prohibit the lessee from leasing or subleasing or renting the leasehold estate; however, in the event of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, any such provision must cease to be effective for the mortgagee and subsequent purchasers of the property.
