Executive Narrative

 

March 26, 2018

 

Performed by

Opus Capital Markets Consultants, LLC

 

For

Bank of America, National Association

 

 

 

This report summarizes the results of a due diligence review performed on a pool of 317 loans provided by Bank of America, National Association (Client) who provided Opus Capital Markets Consultants (Consultant) with a data tape, which represented a 100% sample, and loaded into the OpusFirst® underwriting software. Consultant performed a detailed compliance and credit review on all loans. Six (6) of the loans were not included in the final securitization population due to either being paid off or becoming delinquent (tables herein summarize the full 317 loan count).

 

As detailed herein, 43 of the 317 loans were conforming high balance and eligible for GSE delivery. The review on these loans differs from that of prime jumbo loans in two areas, credit and valuation. For credit, conforming loans are re-underwritten in accordance to the automated underwriting system (DU/LP) and eligible for GSE delivery. For valuation, the conforming loan waterfall, as detailed in “Notes on Independent Third Party Values”, starts with an AVM product rather than a CDA.

 

Opus CMC was established in 2005. Opus was acquired in January 2014 by Wipro Ltd, a global information technology, consulting, and outsourcing company.

 

See notes under Credit Qualifications and Independent Third Party Values for additional information.

 

Credit Qualification

A re-underwriting review was conducted in order to verify that the requisite underwriting guidelines as specified by Client were met. Confirmation of the loan terms was performed through recalculation and review of documentation contained in the loan file provided to the Consultant. The Credit Qualification review consisted of the following:

 

Notes: Credit Qualifications:

1.1Guidelines

Determine whether each mortgage loan meets the requisite guideline requirements as specified by the Client. In lieu of specific requirements, Consultant should consider Regulation Z including Appendix Q if applicable. If the loan pre-dates the requirements of Regulation Z and Appendix Q, Consultant will consider Fannie Mae’s Single-Family guidelines.

Consultant underwrote the population to various guidelines. For the loans eligible for GSE delivery, they were underwritten to Fannie Mae DU guides.  For all loans that were originated by Caliber, files were underwritten to Caliber’s jumbo guidelines.  For all loans that were originated by SoFi, files were underwritten to SoFi’s non-agency mortgage underwriting policy.  For all the loans originated by Bank of Manhattan, files were underwritten to Bank of Manhattan’s jumbo guidelines.  For all other loans purchased by Bank of America, National Association pursuant to their flow purchase program, (except for those loans originated by Caliber), files were underwritten to the BofA Merrill Lynch acquisition guidelines.

1.2Employment

Review the file documentation for minimum required level of employment, income and asset verifications pursuant to Client provided underwriting guidelines.

3.6QM / ATR (Qualified Mortgage / Ability to Repay) Dodd Frank Review (Loans with Application Date on or after 01/10/2014)

 

3.6.1Ability-to-Repay:

 

3.6.1.1Consultant will incorporate checkpoints for the ATR’s eight verification steps for any origination QC work. Consultant has the option to run ATR checks on any transactions subject to QM that falls outside the ability to meet QM guidelines, whether due to coverage exceptions or due to failing QM criteria. Thus, any transaction that is being tested for QM will also have the ability to be screened for ATR if the QM testing fails or the loan is exempt from QM.
3.6.1.2Consultant is required to verify all information within the scope of the eight verification steps before an ATR loan can pass. These eight tests include verifications of any amounts used in the loan consideration and a page(s) reference to the third party records/documentation/images:
·Income and assets
·Current employment status
·Monthly qualifying mortgage payment for the proposed loan
·Monthly qualifying mortgage payment for the simultaneous loan on the same property
·Monthly payments for taxes, insurance and HOA, etc.
·Debts, alimony and child support
·Qualifying monthly DTI and residual income
·Credit history
3.6.1.3If all of the verifications are made and each of the eight topic areas is confirmed to agree with the representations made by the lender, and there are no credit exceptions to the lender’s guidelines, the loan will pass the ATR test. If any of the conditions fail or the loan lacks the documentation to support the stated values in any of the areas, affected items will not be considered verified and the loan will be subject to failing the ATR test.
3.6.1.4ATR results will be reported as ATR-Pass, ATR-Fail and ATR-Exempt. This is in addition to the existing credit and compliance related reporting by Consultant.

 

3.6.2Qualified Mortgage

 

Consultant has built edits and system processes to evaluate whether a loan meets the requirements of the Qualified Mortgage regulations. There are 4 different Qualified Mortgage subtypes; Qualified Mortgage (QM) Temporary QM (TQM), Small Creditor QM (SCQM) and Small Creditor Balloon QM (BQM). While regulations carve out special guidance on small creditor originations, Consultant will not be reviewing any additional documentation required to certify a small creditor and will test all files against either QM or TQM. All QM loan types must meet the following conditions:

·No Negative Amortization and no interest only payments
·No loan terms to exceed 30 years
·Threshold test for Points and Fees of less than or equal to 3.00% of the total loan amount (there are five levels of testing including four for loan amounts under $100,000)

Opus CMCPrivileged and ConfidentialPage 7

 

·Only documented verifications may be used to qualify the application (all loans are full documentation)

The differentiation in testing for QM and TQM is in following a debt-to-income threshold of 43.00% for QM versus meeting the underwriting guidelines from the designated agency (GSE, HUD, FHA, USDA, etc.) for TQM. For the creditor, originating a loan under TQM parameters provides for greater flexibility in qualifying an applicant whose debt-to-income may exceed 43% and still passes the guidelines of the agency.

 

3.6.3QM DTI Testing

 

The new debt-to-income threshold of 43.00% applies to any QM loan. The calculation will include new requirements for calculating the QM Loan Payment and Simultaneous Loan Payment with different rules for fixed rate fixed term and variable rate loans. Those two calculated values are included in the new QM debt-to-income test. In addition, only verified amounts will be included in the QM debt-to-income test - verified income and assets, loan and simultaneous loan payments, insurance, taxes and HOA, alimony, child support and open debts. The calculated value will be the verified debts divided by the verified income represented as a ratio, with amounts less than or equal to 43.00% passing, and anything above 43.00% failing. Failing this test also results in returning an overall QM status of Fail.

 

3.6.4TQM Guideline Testing

 

3.6.4.1For GSE/HUD/FHA directed loans, the testing standard is to fail any application that does not meet the appropriate credit guidelines. The guidelines are not set by regulation and may include a higher debt-to-income threshold. The guidelines include:
·LTV / CLTV
·DTI – using the same calculation guidelines as QM
·Credit Score
·Reserves
·Maximum Loan Amount
·Maximum Cash Out
·Disposable Income

Threshold failures will either be greater than the guideline or less than the guidelines as appropriate.

Note: A failure identified within the guidelines may result in a Fail condition for qualifying the loan as a TQM, even when the debt-to-income calculation would not exceed the 43.00% DTI level, such as a low credit score or a high loan-to-value ratio. Consultant will note the TQM failure. Customized reporting is available to support Customer requirements for specific loan conditions.

 

3.6.5Points and Fees Testing

 

3.6.5.1All loans seeking QM/TQM status need to pass the points and fees testing guidelines. QM Points and Fees testing will be done under the same approach as points and fees testing under HOEPA regulations, including the six components below:
·Finance charge - Third-party settlement services and Lender/Broker/Affiliate payments included, if Consultant is unable to determine “bona fide” status from normal file documentation. Exceptions may require additional documentation to be provided. The same treatment goes for “bona fide discount points” if documentation is not present in file.
·Loan originator compensation – Compensation/YSP known at the time of the consummation will be included but Consultant does not review lender or broker compensation programs as part of its QM testing.
·Real estate-related fees

Opus CMCPrivileged and ConfidentialPage 8

 

·Premiums for credit insurance, credit property insurance, and other insurances where the creditor is the beneficiary, debt cancellation or suspension coverage payments
·Maximum prepayment penalty
·Prepayment penalty paid in a refinance.
3.6.5.2In addition, the calculation is built based on the note amount with different thresholds above the 3.00% level for amounts less than $100,000 adjusted annually:
·3 percent of the total loan amount for a loan greater than or equal to $100,000
·$3,000 for a loan greater than or equal to $60,000 but less than $100,000
·5 percent of the total loan amount for a loan greater than or equal to $20,000 but less than $60,000
·$1,000 for a loan greater than or equal to $12,500 but less than $20,000
·8 percent of the total loan amount for a loan less than $12,500

 

 

 

3.6.6QM/ATR Reporting

 

For QM/TQM testing, the results of the debt-to-income test (QM) or guideline review (TQM) and the Points and Fees test will result in the following available compliance conditions as requested by the rating agencies:

·         QM – NonHPML[QM or TQM – Pass / HPML – No]
·         QM – HPML[QM or TQM – Pass / HPML – Yes]
·         NonQM – Compliant[QM or TQM – Fail, Exempt / ATR – Compliant]
·         NonQM – Noncompliant[QM or TQM – Fail, Exempt / ATR – Noncompliant]
·         Not Covered – Exempt[QM or TQM – Exempt / ATR – Exempt

As with ATR testing, these QM results are in addition to the existing credit and compliance related reporting currently performed by Consultant. Customized reporting is available based on mutual agreement on individual Customer needs.

 

3.6.7HPML Testing – QM APR

 

Current testing for HPML will now be performed using one of two formulas, normal QM and FHA TQM. For QM, a loan will be considered a Higher Priced Mortgage Loan if the APR exceeds the Average Prime Offer Rate by 1.50% or more percentage points on conforming First Liens and 3.50% or more percentage points on Second Liens. For FHA TQM, the formula is modified to be the Average Prime Offer Rate plus 1.15%, plus the monthly MI premium factor.

 

3.6.8Escrow Requirement

 

Loans that fall under the guidelines of a Higher Priced Mortgage Loan (HPML) will require escrow accounts to be in place for the first five years of the transaction. A loan will be considered a Higher Priced Mortgage Loan based on the guidelines shown above (HPML Testing – APR)

 

3.6.9HPML Appraisal Rule – NonQM

 

An HPML designation also requires additional appraisal requirements. A loan will be considered a Higher Priced Mortgage Loan under the HPML Appraisal Rule if the APR exceeds the Average Prime Offer Rate by 1.50% or more percentage points on Conforming First Liens, 2.50% for Jumbo First Liens and 3.50% or more percentage points on Second Liens. Requirements include:

·Three day disclosure from application of the right to a free copy
·Written appraisal from certified or licensed appraiser

Opus CMCPrivileged and ConfidentialPage 9

 

·Interior inspection
·Delivery of copies no later than 3 days prior to consummation
·If the property falls under the ‘flipping’ definition, a second appraisal is required and must document:
·The difference in the original sales price and the subsequent sales price
·Changes in market conditions
·Property improvements

There is additional responsibility for providing copies of ALL documentation used in the valuation of the property, not just the final appraisal, and requirements for full appraisals, versus other forms of valuations. System enhancements have also been made to require verification of documentation and acknowledgement by the reviewer of evidence supporting the new requirements

3.7TRID (TILA RESPA Integrated Disclosures) – Truth in Lending Act/Regulation Z (as Amended by the TILA/RESPA Integrated Disclosures Act). Each mortgage loan will be reviewed to ensure compliance for applications received on or after 10/03/2015, or most current amendments to TILA and Regulation Z (TILA/RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule). 

 

SFIG TILA RESPA Integrated Disclosure Review Procedures:

 

The Consultant has reviewed TRID loans using loan level grading, cure provisions and general guidance associated with proposed TRID Compliance Review Scope issued by The Structured Finance Industry Group (hereinafter known as SFIG). The Customer acknowledges that the SFIG guidance is “proposed”, is not finalized and reflects potential for amendments based on additional rule making or guidance from the CFPB or adjudication from the U.S. Supreme Court that may over turn prevailing U.S. Circuit Court rulings.  The Client accepts and understands the potential risks associated with any potential future amendments resulting from guidance or rulings from the Bureau or the courts. All TRID exceptions were graded utilizing the current SFIG/TRID 3.0 grading matrix.

 

3.7.1Loan Estimate (LE):

 

3.7.1.1Consultant will confirm compliance with current TILA requirements in effect at origination of the Mortgage Loan including:
3.7.1.1.1Confirm the presence of the current Loan Estimate (LE) form in effect at the time of origination. 
3.7.1.1.2Verify the LE was provided to the borrower(s) within three days of “Application”.
3.7.1.2Application shall be defined by §1026.2(a)(3) and generally be considered complete when the following six conditions are met:
·Borrower(s) First and Last Name
·Borrower(s) Social Security Number (to enable the loan originator to obtain a credit report)
·Subject Property Address
·Mortgage Loan Amount Sought € Estimation of Property Value
·Monthly Income.
3.7.1.3Verify the LE was provided to the borrower(s) at least 7 business days prior to loan consummation, unless the borrower provides appropriate waiver documentation to support an earlier closing based on a bona fide financial emergency
3.7.1.4Consultant will verify that the creditor provided a revised estimate of a charge in the form of a revised LE (or at the time of delivery of the CD, depending on the loan circumstances) for any of the following reasons (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)) This may be repeated with revised Les and CDs as provided for legitimate change of circumstances and the timing for providing the document prior to or at the loan closing:
3.7.1.4.1Changed circumstances. Changed Circumstances that cause the estimated settlement charges to increase or, in the case of estimated charges identified in section 1026.19(e)(3)(ii), cause the aggregate amount of such charges to increase by more than 10 percent. (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(A)) For purposes of this and the following procedure, “changed circumstance” means:
·An extraordinary event beyond the control of any interested party or other unexpected event specific to the consumer or transaction (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(A)(1));

Opus CMCPrivileged and ConfidentialPage 10

 

·Information specific to the consumer or transaction that the creditor relied upon when providing the Loan Estimate and that was inaccurate or changed after the disclosures were provided (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(A)(2));
·New information specific to the consumer or transaction that he creditor did not rely on when providing the original Loan Estimate (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(A)(3)).
3.7.1.5Changed circumstance affecting eligibility. The consumer is ineligible for an estimated charge previously disclosed because a changed circumstance affected the consumer’s creditworthiness or the value of the security for the loan. (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(B)).
3.7.1.6Revisions requested by the consumer. The consumer requests revisions to the credit terms or the settlement that cause an estimated charge to increase. (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(E).
3.7.1.7Interest rate dependent charges. The points or lender credits change because the interest rate was not locked when the Loan Estimate was provided. (1026.19(e)(3)(iv)(D)).

 

3.7.2Closing Disclosure (CD):

 

3.7.2.1Consultant will confirm compliance with current TILA requirements in effect at origination of the Mortgage Loan including (also see Section 3.1.4.9 for details):

4.56Regulatory Compliance Disclaimer

Please be advised that Consultant will not make a determination as to whether loans complied with federal, state or local laws, constitutional provisions, regulations or ordinances that are not expressly enumerated herein. There can be no assurance that the review uncovered all issues relating to the origination of the mortgage loans, their compliance with applicable law and regulation and the original appraisals relating of the mortgaged properties or uncovered all relevant factors that could affect the future performance of the mortgage loans. Furthermore, the findings reached by Consultant are dependent upon its receiving complete and accurate data regarding the mortgage loans from loans originators and other third parties upon which Consultant is relying in reaching such findings.

Please be further advised that Consultant does not employ personnel who are licensed to practice law in various jurisdictions, and the findings set forth in the reports prepared by Consultant do not constitute legal advice or opinions. They are recommendations or conclusions based on information provided to Consultant. All final decisions as to whether to purchase or enter into a transaction related to any individual mortgage loan or the mortgage loans in the aggregate, any investment strategy and any legal conclusions, including potential liability related to the purchase or other transaction involving any such loans, shall be made solely by the Client, or other agreed upon party, that has engaged Consultant to prepare its reports pursuant to its instructions and guidelines.

4.57   Seasoning and Certain Compliance Exceptions

Pursuant to the applicable NRSRO criteria, Consultant graded certain compliance exceptions as non-material based on seasoning of the mortgage loan. Certain mortgage loans were seasoned beyond the applicable period under TILA in which affirmative claims could be brought by a consumer. The time period is not limited for claims, other than recession, which are raised as a defense to foreclosure. Information contained in any Consultant reports related to the applicable statute of limitations for certain claims may not be accurate or reflect the most recent controlling case law. Further, a particular court in a particular jurisdiction may extend, not enforce or otherwise allow claims beyond the statute of limitations identified in the report based on certain factors, including the facts and circumstances of an individual loan.

 

  1. Misrepresentation and Third Party Product Review

Validate that fraud reports and independent third party property valuations reports are in the file. The review will consist of the following:

5.1Misrepresentation Review

Review on each loan to identify potential misrepresentations of income, employment, identity, occupancy, transaction and appraisal misrepresentation or other areas of potential misrepresentation. The misrepresentation may include the following:

5.1.1                 Signatures

Validate signature consistency across documents. To the extent imaged or hard copy files are provided, Consultant will utilize reasonable efforts to validate the consistency of signatures across documents.

5.1.2                 Alerts

Assess credit report alerts for accuracy and potential issues.

5.1.3                 Social Security Numbers

5.1.5                 Data Consistency

5.2Independent Third Party Values

 

Notes on Independent Third Party Values:

 

Valuation Methodology

 

For Conforming loans (43 total loans), the Consultant reviewed the loans to the following valuation methodology:

The Client requested the Consultant to order an Automated Valuation Model (“AVM”) to function as the initial third party valuation product to support the appraisal contained in the loan file. The Consultant was instructed to order the AVM from Clear Capital. Clear Capital was chosen given their experience in the valuation space and that they use Freddie Mac’s HVE product. Opus is comfortable with the HVE product as it is an AVM that is generated by a GSE. If the confidence score was less than 80% a Collateral Desktop Analysis (CDA) was ordered. If the confidence score was equal to or greater than 80% and variance between the AVM and the appraisal was greater than 10% variance a CDA was ordered. If the AVM confidence score was equal to or greater than 80% and the variance between the AVM value and the appraisal falls within a 10% variance a property value grade of an “A” was assigned.

 

Opus CMCPrivileged and ConfidentialPage 15

 

For Jumbo loans (274 total loans), the Consultant reviewed the loans to the following valuation methodology:

The Consultant was instructed to order a CDA on all Prime Jumbo loans. If the CDA supports the origination appraised value within a 10% variance no additional products will be required. If the CDA does not support the original appraised value within a 10% variance, a secondary valuation product such as a field review or drive-by appraisal will be ordered. Apply the appropriate rating agency grade after reviewing the required valuation products. If the variance between the CDA value and the appraisal falls within a 10% variance ta property value grade of an “A” was assigned.

 

 

 

Noted on Value Review Process:

 

5.2.1                 To the extent a loan is seasoned more than 12 months the primary valuation product will be a drive by broker’s price opinion (“BPO”) or appraisal. If a variance of negative 10% or greater is noted a secondary valuation product can be ordered.
5.2.2                 If the valuation vendor des not supply the updated valuation product directly to the Consultant, the Client will authorize the valuation vendor to issue an attestation with sufficient information for the Consultant to determine the correct valuation product was utilized to verify the accuracy of the origination appraisal.
5.2.3                 Value Review Disclaimer
5.2.3.1      The individuals performing the above procedures are not person providing valuations for the purpose of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (“USPAP”) or necessarily licensed as appraiser under Federal or State law, and the services being performed do not constitute appraisal reviews for the purposes of USPAP or Federal or State law.
5.2.3.2      Opus makes no representation or warranty as to the value of the mortgaged property, notwithstanding that Opus may have reviewed the valuation information for reasonableness.
5.2.3.3      Opus is not an Appraisal Management Company (“AMC”) and therefore does not opine on the actual value of the underlying property.
5.2.3.4      Opus is not a creditor within the meaning of the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (“ECOA”) or other lending laws and regulations, and therefore opus will not have and communications with or responsibility to any individual concerning property valuations.
5.2.3.5      Opus does not check to see if any appraiser in on the Freddie Mac exclusionary list.
