Underwriter® (DU)

(Available in DU:

target Dec 2015)

Based on the census tract and borrower income, DU will notify users when a loan casefile appears to be eligible for

HomeReady but the lender has not underwritten the loan casefile as HomeReady. Resubmit the loan casefile as a

HomeReady loan to obtain the appropriate HomeReady messaging. New Additional Data screen field will allow entering

census tract information if DU is unable to geocode the property address.

DU recommendation of Approve/Eligible required. DU will determine qualifying ratios and reserves.

Eligible in DU if at least one borrower has traditional credit and contributes more than 50% of qualifying income.

Manual Underwriting (Limited waiver of

representations and

warranties does not

apply. LTVs >95% not

Use manual underwriting if (1) the DU recommendation is other than Approve/Eligible, or

(2) there is not at least one borrower with a traditional credit history.

Benchmark qualifying ratio follows Fannie Mae standard Selling Guide (Section B3-6-02) for manual underwriting.

Exceptions to

Minimum Credit

Score Requirements

Borrowers with nontraditional credit are eligible. In addition,

up to 30% of qualifying income may come from a borrower

for which no traditional or nontraditional credit profile can

be established.

If the borrower has a credit score below the minimum

required as a result of an insufficient traditional credit

history (“thin files”) as documented by reason codes on the

credit report, the lender may supplement the thin file with

an acceptable nontraditional credit profile. SFC 818 must

be used to identify loans with supplemented thin files (for

manually underwritten loans only).

If a borrower has a credit score below the minimum

required, but has sufficient traditional credit sources listed

on the credit report, the lender may not establish a

nontraditional credit profile to supplement the borrower’s

traditional credit history.

If the borrower’s credit history was heavily influenced by

credit deficiencies that were the result of documented

extenuating circumstances, the minimum credit score

requirement must be met (per the Eligibility Matrix), or the

credit score must be no less than 620.

Not eligible

Other Income

Boarder income (relatives or non-relatives): Up to 30% of

qualifying income; documentation for at least 9 of the most

recent 12 months (averaged over 12 months) and

documentation of shared residency for the past 12 months.

Not eligible

Accessory dwelling units: Rental income may be considered

in qualifying the borrower per rental income guidelines.

Rental income may be used as qualifying income per rental

income guidelines.

Non-Borrower

Household Income

Permitted as a compensating factor in DU only to allow a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio >45%, up to 50% (non-borrower income

is not considered qualifying income and is not applied to income limits). The following additional requirements apply:

Non-borrower income must total at least 30% of the total monthly qualifying income being used by the borrower(s). (Note:

Income from more than one non-borrower household member may be considered.)

Non-borrower household members may be relatives or non-relatives.

1-Unit 2- to 4-Unit

Non-borrower household income must be documented in accordance with standard Selling Guide policy based on the

income type.

Non-borrowers must sign a statement of intent to reside with the borrower for a minimum of 12 months. (See optional

Fannie Mae Form 1019.)

The income must be reflected in DU as an Other Income type of “Non-Borrower Household Income” (new income type will

Prepurchase

Homeownership

Education

Homeownership education required prior to note date for at least one borrower on all transactions (purchase and LCOR).

Must be provided through Framework, an online program approved by Fannie Mae.

$75 fee paid by the borrower to Framework for a simple, accessible online program with email support 7 days a week.

Lenders may choose to provide a credit against closing costs in accordance with Selling Guide section B3-4.1-02 (Lender

Incentives for Borrowers).

Homeownership education certificate must be retained in the mortgage file.

Although one-on-one counseling is optional for HomeReady, Framework will offer borrowers a referral to a HUD-approved

counseling agency for additional assistance. Borrowers also have the option to consult a counselor of their choice.

Post-Purchase

Support

To support sustainability, borrowers will have access to post-purchase homeownership support for the life of the loan through

Framework's homeownership advisor service.

Special Borrower

Considerations

Online education may not be appropriate for all potential home buyers. The presence of a disability, lack of Internet access,

and other issues may indicate that a consumer is better served through other education modes (e.g., in-person classroom

education, telephone conference call, etc.). In these situations, consumers should be directed to Framework’s toll-free

customer service line, from which they can be directed to a HUD-approved counseling agency that can meet their needs.The

counseling agency that handles the referral must provide a certificate of completion, and the lender must retain a copy of the

certificate in the loan file.

Previous Home-

Buyer Education

In lieu of the Framework course, Fannie Mae will allow lenders to accept a certificate of pre-purchase education/counseling

from a HUD-approved counseling agency dated within the previous six months before the loan application date and before

September 30, 2016.

Landlord Education Not Applicable

Landlord education required in accordance with Selling Guide

requirements (not available through Framework)
