Underwriting Conformity

Edgemac performed a complete review of all loan files, as supplied by the Client, to determine whether the loans were originated in accordance with the underwriting guidelines provided by the Client (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be either the Client’s or a third party’s underwriting guidelines), eligibility requirements, Ability to Repay (ATR), Qualified Mortgage and Appendix Q requirements (where applicable), and applicable Policies & Procedures, noting any exceptions and compensating factors. The review included, where applicable, the following items:

 

Conformance to Ability to Repay (ATR) standards – Edgemac reviewed each loan to validate that the underwriter correctly assessed the borrower’s ability to repay based on employment and credit/repayment history, income and assets, projected monthly payment and current obligations, debt to income ratio, and other information provided to support ability to repay prior to originating the loan.

 

An evaluation of Qualified Mortgage and Appendix Q requirements, if applicable – Based on the information provided, Edgemac reviewed each loan to determine that it satisfies all requirements for a Qualified Mortgage, if designated as such, including an evaluation of points and fees, risk factors associated with the loan terms, re-calculation of debt to income and a review of all income and assets.

Recalculate the borrower’s income and debt to determine the appropriate debt to income ratio in accordance with the guidelines. Validate borrower’s employment history and confirm that the appropriate income and assets were used to qualify, where applicable. Make a reasonable assessment of whether there are any indications that income documentation may be fraudulent.
B.Validate that assets used to qualify the borrower match the documentation in the file and the information used to calculate down payment, closing costs, and reserves meet program guideline requirements.

G.Confirm that credit report(s) and verification of mortgage or rental history, when required, have been provided for all borrowers/guarantors, are consistent with loan approval, and meet guideline requirements. Verify whether any fraud alerts are listed on the credit reports and make a reasonable assessment of whether the borrower’s profile adheres to applicable guidelines.

Regulatory Compliance Review

Edgemac’s Regulatory Compliance analysis is intended to expose certain potential risk associated with the loans examined. It is strictly limited to the review scope outlined below and is based solely on the accuracy of the documentation and data supplied by the Client or other agreed upon third parties. The review findings are not guaranteed to encompass all critical elements related to the underwriting, origination or regulatory compliance status of the loans examined. Further, the findings are not to be construed as guidance on future indicators of positive or negative performance.

 

Edgemac performed a review of all loans supplied by the Client to verify all documentation provided is complete and complies with all applicable federal and state regulatory requirements, in addition to following the RMBS 3.0 TRID Compliance Review Scope published by the Structured Finance Industry Group (now the Structured Finance Association or “SFA”) (the “SFIG Compliance Review Scope”) and the advice of outside counsel. As it relates to TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosures (“TRID”) testing, Edgemac works with outside counsel on an ongoing basis to understand and interpret compliance regulations based on recent guidance by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (the “CFPB”) that has created deviations in the TRID review scope and related exceptions/cures. Our TRID related review scope, outlined below and not performed for investment properties, will continue to be amended where appropriate as future guidance and rules are published. Edgemac’s conclusions are representative of our best efforts to identify material risks and exceptions associated with each loan based on interpretation of the continually evolving regulations. Edgemac maintains an active dialogue with outside counsel, our Clients, Rating Agencies, SFA and other parties when interpreting compliance regulations and amending our review scope to accurately expose the risk associated with a loan. However, no guaranties can be made that the Review includes all areas of risk that may be present in the Transaction. In addition to the foregoing, Edgemac utilizes the ComplianceAnalyzer tool by ComplianceEase.

 

Edgemac does not employ personnel who are licensed to practice law in the various jurisdictions and the findings set forth in the reports prepared by Edgemac do not constitute legal advice or opinions. They are recommendations or conclusions based on information provided to Edgemac. All final decisions as to whether to purchase or enter into a transaction related to any individual loan or the loans in the aggregate and any legal conclusions, including the potential liability related to the purchase or other transaction involving any such loan or loans, shall be made solely by the clients that have engaged Edgemac to prepare their reports pursuant to their instructions and guidelines. Client acknowledges and agrees that the scoring models applied by Edgemac are designed to identify potential risk and the Client assumes sole responsibility for determining the suitability of the information for its particular use.
