Show Support for a Withdrawal of Mortgagee Letter
2019-06
1. In the link below, you will find documents
that can be used as a template to reach out to
key appointees and congress people who can
quickly act on this irresponsible use
of government power.  Please share your thoughts
and be heard so we can preserve responsible down
payment assistance.https//chenoafund.org/hud-mo
rtgagee-letter-2019-06/2. We are also asking
for the stories of any borrowers who have been
directly affected by this letter. Please send us
any information you are able to about borrowers
who have been affected by this sudden change,
whether its their story, or their contact
information so we can reach out. We will be using
this to strengthen our case, and show the
negative impact the Mortgagee Letter has had.
 3. If you have suspended our program until the
mortgagee letter is withdrawn, please send that
to us in writing, so we can show the number of
companies and people that this is affecting.  
HUD issued Mortgagee Letter 19-06 without
following the Administrative Procedures Act. This
was unlawful, and has caused confusion and
concern in our industry.  CBC Mortgage Agency
has filed for a restraining order to temporarily
block this new policy and once in place, will
file for injunctive relief.  We are confident
that the mortgagee letter will be removed and
a more responsible policy will be implemented
that follows the proper procedures of public
comment and an implementation period. As we
litigate, we seek your support politically to
ensure that our politicians hold government
appointees accountable.  We encourage you to
please be part of the solution to continue to
help credit worthy Americans purchase their own
home. Here are some ways you can help.

In regards to Homebuyer Education, Be sure to
visit our Lender FAQs for more information on
this topic. https//chenoafund.org/lender/lender-f
aq/ CBC Mortgage Agency offers pre-purchase
counseling through Hope Loan Port, also known as
Money Management International. This pre-purchase
counseling is provided for borrowers with a FICO
score of 620 to 639, which also means this
counseling is only required for our DPA Edge
products. The aforementioned counseling courses
are paid for by CBC Mortgage Agency. As such,
correspondent-lenders should never direct their
borrowers with FICO scores 640 to go to
https//www.borrowersuccess.org/prepurchase. If
borrowers without the proper FICO score attempt
to access this course, they will be turned away,
which will cause much stress, frustration, and
confusion on many borrowers parts. For your
borrowers that have a FICO score of 620 to 639,
note that they will not be able to access the
course until 1.) they have been registered
and/or locked by their lender in CBC Mortgage
Agencys portal. 2.) they have allowed for 24
hours to pass after the LO receives the relevant
confirmation letter. 3.) they have a CBC loan
number, provided for them by their LO (will start
with 161). Coborrowers outside the 620 to 639
range will not need to take the course. If you
wish for your borrower with a FICO score 640 to
take Homebuyer Education through Hope Loan Port
anyway, please utilize this link instead.

from 75-99. Feel free to contact

  Program Guidelines, which can be found at
  ChenoaFund.org.

20
Declarations Page of 1003 (1st Mortgage)

24
Underwriting
25
Underwriting must follow

• Relevant agency guidelines.
• TRID compliance.
• Industry standards.

26

• Secondary Financing closes in the name of your
  company.
• Secondary Financing is transferred to CBC
  Mortgage Agency after close.
• 2nds are required to be registered with MERS.
• You will need to provide a MERS number for the
  2nd mortgage deed and note.

27

• Your First Mortgage will NOT BE INSURABLE if you
  do not have a Secondary Financing MERS transfer
  to CBCMA BEFORE you request a MIC.
• Or, if it applies, BEFORE you have an executed
  assignment of the Second Mortgage to CBC Mortgage
  Agency.
•  
• Under the terms of the funding obligation letter,
  your company extends funds at the closing table
  on behalf of CBC Mortgage Agency for the
  borrowers down payment.  These funds are
  reimbursed by CBC Mortgage Agency at the time the
  first mortgage is purchased.  Industry guidelines
  require that the secondary financing be in the
  name of the government agency prior to insuring,
  so it is EXTREMELY important that all second
  mortgage MINS are registered with MERS as soon as
  possible after closing and the TOS/TOB be
  executed immediately.

• The second has to be transferred to CBC Mortgage
  Agency as soon as the file has been closed.
