Who is Federal Housing Administration? The Federal Housing Administration generally known as “FHA” was established in 1934 as a division of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. They provide mortgage insurance on loans made by FHA-approved lenders throughout the US and its territories. It is the largest insurer of mortgages in the world insuring over 34 million properties since its inception . FHA’s mission is to expand homeownership opportunities, make the home buying process inexpensive and less complicated, increase homeownership to minorities, and keep homeowners from losing their homes. Eligible FHA Programs Section 203(b) – Standard FHA Program: MI for One to Four Family Homes Program Section 234(c) – Subsection of 203(b): Condominium Housing Program Section 251 – Subsection of 203(b): Adjustable Rate Mortgage Program (ARM) Section 203(k) – Rehabilitation Mortgage Insurance Program Section 203(h) – MI for Disaster Victims Program What is FHA Mortgage Insurance? FHA MI protects lenders against loss if homeowner defaults on loan. The lender bears less risk because FHA will pay the lender should a homeowner defaults on their loan. The cost of the insurance is passed along to the borrower and is typically included in the monthly payment. How is FHA funded? FHA operates from self-generated income and costs the taxpayers nothing. The proceeds from the MI paid by the homeowners is used to operate the program entirely.

Topic Description FHA Streamline Refinance Streamline Refinance refers ONLY to the amount of documentation and underwriting that needs to be performed by the lender and does not mean that there are no costs involved in the transaction. Basic Requirements of the program? Mortgage to be refinanced must already be an FHA loan Mortgage to be refinanced must be current (not delinquent) Refinance is to result in a lowering of the borrower’s monthly P&I payments No cash may be taken out on mortgages refinanced using the streamline process Possible structures Streamline refinances are offered in several ways: May be offered as a “no cost” refinance (actually no out-of-pocket expenses to the borrower) by charging a higher rate of interest on the new loan than if the borrower financed or paid the closing costs in cash; lender pays any closing costs incurred on the transaction May be offered to include the closing costs into the new mortgage amount. This can only be done if there is sufficient equity in the property as determined by appraisal. Without Appraisal Loan amount will be lower of original loan amount plus new upfront premium OR the sum of the existing lien plus closing costs, discount points, prepaid items , etc. With Appraisal Loan Amount is the lower of the LTV using the appraiser’s value OR the sum of the existing lien plus related closing costs and prepaid items .

Topic Description Credit Qualification There is NO CREDIT QUALIFICATION if using “With Appraisal” or “Without Appraisal”. However, if the new loan terms will increase the borrower’s payment, OR when the deletion of an existing borrower will trigger the due-on-sale clause OR following an assumption (certain terms) then we use the Credit Qualifying Streamline Refinance which has the same loan amounts as stated PLUS will require credit documentation and qualifying Credit Qualifying versus NO Credit Qualifying? Credit Qualifying Streamline Refinance : Need verification of income, a credit report, compute the debt-to-income ratios and determine that the borrower will continue to make mortgage payments No Credit Qualifying Streamline Refinance : Does not need any of the above documentation Sections regarding income, assets, debts and obligations need not be completed Max LTV/CLTV Follow standard FHA guideline maximum LTV/CLTV UW Guides All other guidelines follow standard FHA guidelines Additional Information Cash-to-Close . Borrowers are not required to provide evidence of cash-to-close. Subordinate Financing . Subordinate financing may remain in place regardless of the total indebtedness against the property with or without appraisals. Borrower is not required to satisfy any outstanding subordinate liens as long as they will clearly be subordinate to the new FHA-insured refinance mortgage.

Introduction to FHA Secure Eligibility Guidelines General Guidelines Underwriting Guidelines Frequently Asked Questions Affinity Lending Group has been around since 2003.

You worked hard for homeownership! FHA has helped millions of Americans secure their dream of homeownership. Now we want to keep those dreams alive! Topic Description What is the FHA Secure Program? FHA Secure is the refinancing option that gives credit-worthy borrowers, who were making timely mortgage payments before their loans reset but are now in default, a 2 nd chance with a FHA insured loan. i.e., This will allow homeowners to refinance various types of adjustable rate mortgages (ARMS) that have recently “reset”. Impact of FHA Secure **FHASecure is expected to help 500,000 families by 12/31/08** From 2007-2009, 2.3 million ARMS are expected to reset (1/4 of which are at risk of foreclosure). Since September 2007, FHA has pumped $68 billion into the housing market; $28 billion of it is in the FHASecure program helping more than 150,000 homeowners. How can FHA Secure help homeowners stay in their homes? FHASecure gives homeowners with non-FHA adjustable rate mortgages (ARMS) the ability to refinance into an FHA insured mortgage and the borrower will not be disqualified just because they’re delinquent. FHA Secure isn’t going to help all borrowers so why is FHA making it available? FHA recognizes that foreclosures and vacant properties affect home values, contribute to neighborhood decline and cost local government additional services and lost revenue. FHA is hoping this program will help prevent that type of negative impact on communities.

Who is Eligible? Eligible homeowners must meet the following requirements : Have a NON-FHA insured ARM loan that has reset Sufficient income to make the mortgage payment; AND A history of on-time mortgage payments before the loan reset. Eligibility Highlights of the FHA Secure Initiative The mortgage being refinanced must be a non-FHA ARM that has reset Borrower’s payment history must show that prior to the reset the borrower was current in making their monthly payments during 6 months prior to the reset (by due date). They can have late payments outside the most recent six months and still be eligible. The UW must determine that the reset of the non-FHA ARM caused the borrower’s inability to make the monthly payments, AND the borrower has sufficient income and resources to make the new monthly payments under the new FHA loan. Secondary Financing Not available through FMC at this time Under FHASecure, there is no CLTV limit or seasoning requirement for purchase money 2nds but must follow existing FHA policies. ie., any line of credit > $1,000 advanced within the last 12 months not used for repairs or home improvement is not eligible for inclusion in new FHA mortgage. Any Lender may execute a 2 nd to pay off the excess 1 st lien balance, closing costs, and any arrearages. No Cap on CLTV or dollar amount of subordinate financing Combined amount of FHASecure 1 st and any 2 nd may exceed the applicable FHA limits If payments on the 2 nd are required, include it in DTI calculation Do not include in DTI if payments on 2 nd are deferred for no more than 36 months

Topic Description Maximum LTV **NEW** CURRENT: Follows Standard FHA guidelines. NEW: Press Release 4/9 – ALG waiting for investor approval to give green light!!! Borrowers with ARMS with 2 x 30 consecutive lates or at 2 different times over the last 12 months qualify for LTV up to 97% Borrowers with ARMS with 3 x 30 consecutive lates or at 3 different times over the last 12 months qualify for LTV up to 90% Maximum Loan Amount Follows standard FHA loan limits including the FHA Jumbo loan limits. You can include the existing 1 st lien, any purchase money 2 nd , closing costs, prepaid expenses, discount points, prepayment penalties, late charges and any arrearages (PITI if arose after reset) into the new loan amount. Loan Purpose Rate & Term refinances only. Cash Out is limited to no more than $500. UW Method FHA encourages the use of FHA’s TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard to obtain risk classifications on each loan under the FHASecure initiative. TOTAL is already built into DU & LP **Must indicate on the MCAW that the loan is an FHA Secure Mortgage!** Accept/Approve It TOTAL renders an “accept/approve”, the UW will not perform a personal review of the borrower’s credit history and capacity to repay. Refer In the more likely even that TOTAL renders a “refer”, then UW must manually UW file following standard FHA guidelines in addition to qualifying requirements of the FHASecure program.

Good on applications through 12/31/08 Topic Description How does FHA define reset? Does the definition include ARMS that re-set at different intervals (Eg., 6 mos, annual, etc.)? FHA has purposely not defined reset because it understands there are various reset periods associated with a Non-FHA ARM. In the case of payment option ARMS, the ultimate “reset” or “recasting” of the loan to fully amortizing is an acceptable cause of default to qualify a borrower for FHASecure. Is there a Maximum number of delinquent months that can be rolled into the new mortgage? No. Borrower’s with sufficient equity may include the entire delinquency into the 1 st as long as it doesn’t exceed the max loan amount and LTV for their area. How far behind can a borrower be on a mortgage to qualify? No limit. Whether you’re current, 1 month behind or multiple months behind, the amount to be refinanced will depend on the value of property, amount owed, and if lender or another eligible source is willing to take back a 2 nd to bridge the cap Between what is owed and the home’s value. Can a borrower be delinquent and for a certain time to be eligible? FHA Secure is no longer limited to borrowers who are delinquent. FHA encourages borrowers facing reset to refinance before they fall behind. On properties owned less than 1 yr, what value is used to determine LTV? Due to declining values, we will rely on current appraisal without the need to look at original sales price or acquisition cost.

Good on applications through 12/31/08 Topic Description Can a non-owner occupant be added to the loan for the benefit of qualifying occupants for FHA Secure ? (Will contradict FHA’s refinance guidelines) With the exception of cash out refinances, adding a non-occupant co-borrower does not contradict FHA requirements. When FHA allowed for cash out up to 95% LTV, the lender and borrower could not add additional borrowers to make the transaction qualify. However, for FHA Secure which is a lifeline to save the home, and rate & term refinances, a non-occupant co-borrower can be added. What if the value of the home is now less than what is owed? It doesn’t matter to FHA but the lender considering the refinance would have to be willing to accept a short payoff on the existing loan OR to hold a 2 nd to make up the difference. Not available at ALG at this time but we will accept other Secondary financing if available. What about people in foreclosure? The program can be used even if the borrower is in foreclosure. It’ll depend on the value of the home, how much is owed and the lenders willingness to take out a 2 nd . Borrowers are encouraged to talk to the lender possibly with a HUD rep to determine the best course of action. When Note holder writes off a portion of 1 st loan amount Borrower should consult with their tax accountant on any tax consequences that arise due to the note holder writing off a portion to pay off their 1 st mortgage IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not solicit homeowners to cease making timely mortgage payments!

In most FHA programs, HUD collects an UFMIP and an Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium ( collected on a monthly Basis ) Up Front Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium (AMIP) 1.50% of the loan amount This is added to the loan amount and financed over the term of the loan ie. 30 yrs If financed, it does not subject to loan amount limit or LTV limit 30 Years : .50% of the loan amount 15 Years: .25% of the loan amount SAMPLE CALCULATION $100,000 Loan amount, FHA 30 Year Fixed @ 6.50% Interest Rate Up Front Mortgage Insurance Premium (UFMIP) Annual Mortgage Insurance Premium (AMIP) $100,000 x 1.50% = $1,500 @ 6.50% for 30 years (fully amortized) = $9.48 per month $100,000 x .50% = $500 / 12 (mos) = $41.67 per month (Simple Int.) Total Mortgage Insurance Premium = $51.15 per month (9.48 + 41.67)

1. Can a Seller pay the UFMIP? Yes; it can be paid as cash at closing instead of having it financed through the loan. However, the 1.50% will be included in the 6% max seller concession for FHA loans if paid this way. 2. When can I stop paying Annual FHA Mortgage Insurance? Loans closed prior to 1/1/01 are not eligible for termination of MIP Loans closed after 1/1/01 will have their FHA MIP automatically terminated under the following conditions: FHA 30 Year (> 15 year terms) – MIP will be terminated at 78% LTV or after 5 years since borrower has been paying MIP whichever is longer. FHA 15 year terms or less & LTV 90% or greater – MIP will be terminated at 78% irrespective of the length of time the borrower has paid MIP FHA 15 year terms or less & LTV < 90% LTV will not be charged a MIP 78% LTV will be based on lesser of sales price or appraised value at loan origination No new appraisal is required
