• Mortgage Insurance is not required for this DU Refinance Plus loan

In addition to this DU message, all loan files not currently serviced by EverBank will require a copy of the existing mortgage monthly statement to confirm no MI currently is in force. Loans currently being serviced by EverBank will need to confirm that no mortgage insurance is in place on the existing loan via MSP. (MIP - Screen to confirm MI Code of 13)

If the original LTV on the existing FNMA loan was > 80.00% and DU does not issue the message above, the loan is ineligible for a DU Refi Plus and the borrower should be offered a different loan transaction.

Existing FNMA-owned loans that currently have Lender Paid MI are NOT eligible for DU Refi Plus.  They will never receive a message offering a DU Refi Plus transaction.

All DU Refi Plus loans greater than 80.01% without MI will require a new MI code of  95 at time of Loan Delivery. (See end of PDS)

Certain DU Refi Plus loans will waive the requirement for an appraisal or exterior-only property inspection. For those specific DU Refi Plus loans, the DU Finding Report will issue two property fieldwork recommendation messages:

• One message will indicate that the loan is eligible for the DU Refi Plus;

     Property Fieldwork Waiver : AND

• The other message will indicate the minimum level of property fieldwork required if the lender does not elect to exercise the DU property report waiver.

If a loan is ineligible for PFW and DU does not offer the Property Fieldwork Waiver, a message will be issued indicating the minimum level of property fieldwork required.

The DU Property Fieldwork Waiver will not be offered in the following scenarios:

• Loans that receive an Approve/Ineligible recommendation from DU
• All 2-4 unit properties

The Property Fieldwork Waiver offered by DU is only valid if offered on the final DU submission. Any subsequent submissions to DU where the Property Fieldwork Waiver is not offered invalidates the option to use the PFW and the minimum level of property fieldwork must be used. 

To identify the loan is exercising this option the underwriter should select the PIW flag in the front-end system. All Property Fieldwork Waivers will require the SFC Code of 807 at Loan Delivery and a fee of $75.00.

An EverBank Borrower DU Refi Plus Affidavit Form has been created.   This will be part of the application package and can be signed prior to closing OR the Underwriter should place an At Closing UW condition in order to get this signed as part of the closing package.

EverBank must only confirm the property is not a CondoTel. (web site confirmation)

FNMA Project Type Codes are required at Loan Delivery as follows:

V - Condominiums

E - PUD’s

Underwriters will be required to place the correct Condo V Project Type on the final 1008 since LQ & WITS currently do not support this value. (Pending LOS updates)

 
Property Fieldwork Waiver - When offered and executed, all loans should apply and select the PIW Flag in your LOS for correct identification.
