Independent Accountants’ Report

on Applying Agreed-Upon Procedures

 

We have performed the procedures described below, which were agreed to by J.P. Morgan Acceptance Corporation II (the “Company”) and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (together with the Company, the “Specified Parties”) related to their evaluation of certain information with respect to a portfolio of mortgage loans in connection with the proposed offering of J.P. Morgan Mortgage Trust 2021-6, Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2021-6 (the “Transaction”).

 

The information set forth on the Statistical Loan File (as defined below) is the responsibility of the Company. The sufficiency of these procedures is solely the responsibility of the Specified Parties of this report. Consequently, we make no representations regarding the sufficiency of the procedures described below either for the purpose for which this report has been requested or for any other purpose.

Further, on April 8, 2021, representatives of the Company provided us with a computer generated mortgage loan data file and related record layout containing data with respect to 1,697 mortgage loans, including 345 of the Selected Loans (the “Statistical Loan File”). The remaining 345 Selected Loans are hereinafter referred to as the “Sample Loans.”

We compared Characteristic 2. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the respective Fixed Rate Note (the “Note”); Characteristics 3. through 12. to the Note, “Automatic Loan Payment Agreement” (if applicable) or the “Modification Agreement” (if applicable); Characteristic 13. to the Note or Prepayment Penalty Rider (collectively, the “Prepayment Penalty Rider”); Characteristic 14. to the Note or Interest Only Addendum (collectively, the “Interest Only Addendum”); Characteristics 15. and 16. to the Residential Loan Application or Uniform Underwriting and Transmittal Summary (collectively, the “Application”); Characteristics 17. through 19. to the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (the “Appraisal Report”); Characteristic 20. (for those Sample Loans for which the “loan purpose” field appearing on the Statistical Loan File indicated a “Purchase” or “Construction to Permanent”) to the Application and Settlement Statement or Closing Disclosure (collectively, the “Settlement Statement”); Characteristic 21. (for those Sample Loans for which the “loan purpose” field appearing on the Statistical Loan File, indicated a “Purchase”) to the Settlement Statement; Characteristics 22. and 23. to the “Credit Report”; Characteristic 24. to a query provided to us by the Company on April 8, 2021 (the “Current Qualifying Credit Score Query”); Characteristics 25. and 26. to the Junior Lien Note, Settlement Statement, Uniform Underwriting and Transmittal Summary, Subordination Agreement, Title Report or Loan Approval Summary (collectively, the “Lien Summary”); and Characteristics 29. and 30. to the corresponding information set forth on or derived from the Modification Agreement.

 

Further, with respect to Characteristic 20., for those Sample Loans for which the “loan purpose” field appearing on the Statistical Loan File indicated a “Cash Out” or “Rate/Term Refinance” we (i) observed that there is no “sales price” indicated on the Settlement Statement and (ii) recalculated the “Amount to the Borrower” as the difference between (a) the original principal balance (as set forth on the Note) and (b) the sum of (1) the unpaid principal balance of the refinanced first mortgage loan, (2) the unpaid principal balance of any “secondary financing” relating to the subject property and (3) settlement charges relating to the subject mortgage loan (each as set forth on the Settlement Statement). At the Company’s instruction, we assumed that the loan purpose is (a) a “Cash Out” if the Amount to the Borrower was greater than the lesser of (i) $2,000 or (ii) 2% of the original principal balance (as set forth on the Note) and (b) a “Rate/Term Refinance” to the extent that it was not.

 

With respect to Characteristic 27., we recomputed the original loan-to-value ratio by dividing (a) the original principal balance (as set forth on the Note) by either (b) in the case of a “Purchase” (as determined from the Application and Settlement Statement), the lesser of (i) the appraised value (as set forth on or derived from the Appraisal Report) and (ii) sales price (as set forth on the Settlement Statement) or (c) in the case of a “Rate/Term refinance,” “Cash Out” or “Construction to Permanent” (as determined above or from the Application and Settlement Statement), the appraised value (as set forth on or derived from the Appraisal Report).

 

With respect to Characteristic 28., we recomputed the combined loan-to-value ratio by dividing (a) the sum of (i) the original principal balance (as set forth on the Note) and (ii) the senior or junior lien balance, if any, (as set forth on the Lien Summary) by either (b) in the case of a “Purchase” (as determined from the Application and Settlement Statement ), the lesser of (x) the appraised value (as set forth on or derived from the Appraisal Report) and (y) the sales price (as set forth on the Settlement Statement) or (c) in the case of a “Rate/Term refinance,” “Cash Out” or “Construction to Permanent” (as determined above or from the Application and Settlement Statement), the appraised value (as set forth on or derived from the Appraisal Report).

 

At your instruction, for purposes of such comparisons:

 

with respect to Characteristic 2., differences of thirty days or less are deemed to be “in agreement;”

 

with respect to Characteristic 7., differences of $0.01 or less are deemed to be “in agreement;”

 

with respect to Characteristic 17., a property type indicated on the Statistical Loan File, as “Condo, High Rise (5+ stories)” or “Condo, Low Rise (4 or fewer stories)” and “Condominium” (as indicated on the Appraisal Report) are deemed to be “in agreement;”

 

   
 

 

with respect to Characteristic 17., a “planned unit development” property with HOA fees of less than $100 a month (as set forth on the Appraisal Report) is deemed to be “in agreement” with a “single family detached (non-PUD)” property (as set forth on Statistical Loan File);

 

with respect to Characteristics 17., 18. and 19. and for the recalculations of Characteristics 27. and 28., for those Sample Loans for which the Company provided us with two or more Appraisal Reports we were instructed by the Company to use the most recently dated Appraisal Report or, to the extent that each such Appraisal Report indicated an appraisal report date within 12 months of the origination date (as set forth on the Note), we were instructed by the Company to use the Appraisal Report with the lowest appraised value;

 

with respect to Characteristic 19. and for recalculations of Characteristics 27. and 28., for those Sample Loans for which the Company provided us with an Appraisal Report with a prior purchase date (as set forth on the Appraisal Report) within six months of the origination date (as set forth on the Note), we were instructed to use the lesser of (a) the appraised value (as set forth on the Appraisal Report) or (b) the prior sales price (as set forth on the Appraisal Report);

 

with respect to Characteristics 22. and 23., if three scores were observed on the Credit Report, we used the median score or, if two scores were observed on the Credit Report, we used the lower score;

 

with respect to our comparison of Characteristic 26., differences of $100 or less are deemed to be “in agreement;”

 

with respect to Characteristic 27., differences of 1.000% or less are deemed to be “in agreement,” except to the extent that the Statistical Loan File identified an original loan-to-value ratio less than or equal to 80% and our recomputed original loan-to-value ratio was greater than 80%;

 

with respect to Characteristic 28., differences of 1.000% or less are deemed to be “in agreement,” except to the extent that the Statistical Loan File identified a combined loan-to-value ratio less than or equal to 100% and our recomputed combined loan-to-value ratio was greater than 100%;

 

with respect to Characteristic 29., for those Sample Loans where we observed the existence of a Modification Agreement, we compared a modification indicator of (i) “no” to the corresponding information set forth on the Statistical Loan File, if the respective Modification Agreement indicates (a) a modification that reduces the monthly P&I payment of such Sample Loan and (b) the interest rate and “maturity date” set forth on the Modification Agreement is in agreement with the Note  (a “Recast Loan”) and (ii) “yes” to the corresponding information set forth on the Statistical Loan File, if such Sample Loan is not a Recast Loan; and

 

with respect to Characteristic 30., differences of one day are deemed to be “in agreement.”

 

The loan documents described above and any other related documents used in support of the Characteristics were provided to us by representatives of the Company and are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Loan Documents.” We were not requested to perform and we did not perform any procedures with respect to the preparation or verification of any of the information set forth on the Loan Documents and make no representations concerning the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained therein. In certain instances, our procedures were performed using data imaged facsimiles or photocopies of the Loan Documents. In addition, we make no representations as to whether the Loan Documents are comprehensive or valid instruments and reflect the current prevailing terms with respect to the corresponding Sample Loans.

 

Agreed-Upon Procedures’ Findings

 

The results of the foregoing procedures indicated that the Characteristics set forth on the Statistical Loan File were found to be in agreement with the above mentioned Loan Documents, except as described in Appendix A. Supplemental information is contained on Appendix B.
