By partnering with Envoy and participating in the Charity Award$ Challenge , many of our qualified mortgage lenders have been able to give back to their communities in a special way.

HomeReady is Getting Even Better

7/28/2016

HomeReady® mortgage is getting even better. Among several enhancements detailed in the July 26 Selling Guide Announcement (SEL-2016-06), we’ve simplified some HomeReady requirements and added more homeownership education and advising options to empower HomeReady buyers for smart homeownership.

Simplifying the requirements.
HomeReady will no longer require homeownership education for refinances nor will it require landlord education for two- to four-unit properties.

Expanding options to meet consumer needs.
We’re providing additional flexibility to meet the homeownership education requirement for borrowers using Community Seconds® or down payment assistance programs, and for borrowers who receive one-on-one assistance from independent, professional homeownership advisors (also known as housing counselors).

Deepening our commitment to sustainable homeownership.
Later this year, we will introduce incentives for lenders to encourage more borrowers to take advantage of independent professional homeownership advisors. We will allow one-on-one assistance as a compensating factor in Desktop Underwriter® (DU®) to allow a debt-to-income (DTI) ratio higher than 45%, up to 50%, and we’ll give lenders a $500 LLPA credit at delivery (effective in a future DU release).

​We’re making other HomeReady changes, including allowing home buyers to own other residential property. You can find details in the Selling Guide Announcement (SEL-2016-06), and please visit the HomeReady page to check out our updated resources. I look forward to talking with you about how HomeReady can help you reach new markets and expand access to credit responsibly.

TMC's Letter to FHFA Regarding Front-End Risk Transfers

7/21/2016

0 Comments

 
July 15, 2016
 
The Honorable Melvin L Watt, Director
Federal Housing Finance Agency
Constitution Center
400 7th St. SW
Washington, DC  20219
 
Re: Front-end Credit Risk Transfers
 
Dear Director Watt,
 
We commend FHFA for beginning the discussion of front-end credit risk transfers however based on the need for a collateralized recourse agreement for small lenders to participate the gate isn’t wide enough.
 
The Mortgage Collaborative (TMC) represents $110 Billion a year in aggregate loan production from small to mid size lenders and we believe they should be treated equitably with the larger institutions.
 
Currently small lenders operate in a disadvantaged market given capital requirements and repurchase agreements.
 
We support MBA’s position of deeper mortgage insurance that would cultivate small lender competitiveness. TMC also encourages shelters for small lenders with constraints on volume discounts.
 
The Mortgage Insurance Companies extensive capital raises since 2007 has put them in a strong position to facilitate the above and keep the playing field level for all that wish to participate in loan securitization.
 
An accessible, straightforward secondary market is what will move real housing reform forward. This can only be accomplished with the correct form of front-end credit risk transfers.
 
Sincerely,                                               
                                                                                                                              
John M. Robbins, CMB                      David G. Kittle, CMB
Chairman                                          Vice Chairman

Agenda Just About Set; TMC’s Summer Conference One Month Away!

7/21/2016

0 Comments

 
At The Mortgage Collaborative, we pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive and creative value propositon to our lender members for a very low annual cost of membership. 

And a big part of the value of membership are our two conferences each year. 

Our Summer Conference will take place at the Four Seasons Hotel & Resort in Denver, CO on August 21-23. The block of rooms at the host hotel is just about sold out (are neighboring options). But we did decide this morning to extend the early bird registration discount that recently expired to next Friday, July 29th. 

We let our members set the agenda for our conferences, and here’s what you can expect to see when the agenda is released later next week:

Some of the industries most prominent leaders and speakers: Dave Stevens, Bill Emerson, Rob Chrisman, top executives from Fannie/Freddie/MBA, the CFPB’s Ombudsman’s Office, and leaders of many of the most innovative companies in the real estate finance industry.

MORE lender networking. Our normal Tuesday morning full group networking session, plus targeted lender only breakout networking sessions on Monday afternoon. Four different on and off-site networking cocktail receptions. And an interactive lender/partner networking session on Sunday afternoon.

Relevant real time educational sessions. You’re not going to get the same ole’ “Surviving TRID” and “How to Understand Millenials” sessions at a TMC conference. We’ll have targeted educational sessions on implementing eMortgages, increasing your firm’s operational efficiency, creative growth strategies, and the most viable emerging technology products and initiatives in the industry.

And much more! See you in Denver! :-)
