EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Third Party Due Diligence Review

Overview

Consolidated Analytics, Inc (“Consolidated Analytics”), a third-party due diligence provider, performed the review described below on behalf of Angel Oak Mortgage Operating Partnership, LP and Angel Oak Real Estate Investment Trust III (the “Client”). The review included a total of 219 newly originated residential mortgage loans, in connection with the securitization identified as Angel Oak Mortgage Trust 2024-13 (the “Securitization”). The Review was conducted from February 2022 through November 2024 on mortgage loans originated between January 2022 and November 2024.

Scope of Review

Credit Review

Consolidated Analytics performed a “Credit Review” to verify compliance with guidelines in effect at the time of loan origination, or other guidelines provided by Clients prior to review, and ensure the characteristics used by the underwriter are supported by the file documentation; and determine whether any loans outside of those guidelines contain legitimate and approved exceptions with compensating factors.

The Credit Review attempted to confirm the following:

a. QM or ATR Validation / Review of 8 Key Underwriting Factors

i. Income / Assets

● Validate borrower(s) monthly gross income

● Validate funds required to close, required reserves

● Review file documentation for required level of income and asset verifications

ii. Employment Status

● Review file documentation for required level of employment

iii. Monthly Mortgage Payment

● Confirm program, qualifying rate, terms

iv. Simultaneous Loans

● Validate all concurrent loans are included in the DTI to properly assess the ability to repay

v. Mortgage Related Obligations: PITI, HOA, PMI, etc.

● Validate subject loan monthly payment (PITI) and associated obligations

vi. Debts / Obligations

● Validate monthly recurring liabilities

vii. DTI and/or Residual Income

● Validate debt-to-income ratio (DTI) based upon income and debt documentation provided in the file

● Documentation meets Appendix Q requirements for QM Loans

viii. Credit History

● Review credit report for credit history and required credit depth including any / all inquiries

● Determine representative credit score from credit report

b. Validate loan-to-value (LTV) and combined loan-to-value

c. Review borrower’s occupancy

d. Validation through third party resource of the subject properties most recent twelve (12) month sales history

e. Confirm sufficient evidence in loan file, by reviewing the underwriter’s decision to approve the loan based upon the borrows income, debt, and credit history, to support borrower’s willingness and ability to repay the debt

f. Confirm that Final 1003 is sufficiently completed

g. Provide Audit 1008 with accurate data based on file documentation

h. Confirm Loan Approval conditions were met

i. Review condominium questionnaire to verify all information is complete, prepared by an authorized representative, and address any red flags that may deem condominium project ineligible

j. General QM for any loans originated under the GQM Rule

i. Pricing Thresholds:

a. Pricing for First Lien Loans:

i. 2.25% for a first-lien covered transaction with a loan amount greater than or equal to the applicable dollar amount threshold; and

ii. 3.5% for a first-lien covered transaction with a loan amount greater than or equal to the applicable dollar amount threshold; and

iii. 6.5% for a first-lien covered transaction with a loan amount less than the applicable dollar amount threshold.

b. Pricing for Subordinate Lien Loans:

i. 3.5% for a subordinate-lien covered transaction with a loan amount greater than or equal to the applicable dollar amount threshold; and

ii. 6.5% for a subordinate-lien covered transaction with a loan amount less than the applicable dollar amount threshold.

c. Pricing for Manufactured Homes:

i. 2.25% for a first-lien covered transaction secured by a manufactured home with a loan amount equal to or greater than the applicable dollar amount threshold; and

ii. 6.5% for a covered transaction secured by a manufactured home with a loan amount less than applicable dollar amount threshold.

ii. Consider Income and Assets:

○ Consumer’s current or reasonably expected income or assets (other than the value of the dwelling that secures the loan;

○ The consumer’s debt obligations, alimony, child support; and

○ The monthly DTI or residual income.

iii. Verification of Income and Assets:

a. Verification in compliance with one of the “safe harbor” guidelines will meet the QM verification requirement. A creditor is allowed to “mix and match” provisions of the different guidelines rather than only apply one guideline per loan.

The specific guidelines that the CFPB is designating for the safe harbor are: The GQM Rule provides that if the creditor verifies the consumer’s income or assets, debt obligations, alimony, child support, and monthly DTI or residual income by meeting the standards of certain specified third-party underwriting manuals, then a creditor is presumed to have complied with the verification requirement. These specified manuals are:

i. Chapters B3-3 through B3-6 of the Fannie Mae Single Family Selling Guide, published June 3, 2020;

ii. Sections 5102 through 5500 of the Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide, published June 10, 2020;

iii. Sections II.A.1 and II.A.4-5 of the Federal Housing Administration’s Single Family Housing Policy Handbook, issued October 24, 2019;

iv. Chapter 4 of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Lenders Handbook, revised February 22, 2019;

v. Chapter 4 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Field Office Handbook for the Direct Single Family Housing Program, revised March 15, 2019; and

vi. Chapters 9 through 11 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Handbook for the Single Family Guaranteed Loan Program, revised March 19, 2020.

Compliance Review

Consolidated Analytics performed a “Compliance Review” to determine, as applicable, to the extent possible and subject to the caveats below, whether the loan complies with applicable regulatory requirements as noted below, each as amended, restated and/or replaced from time to time. The Compliance Review included the following:

The Compliance Review did not include any federal, state or local laws, constitutional provisions, regulations or ordinances that are not expressly enumerated above. Furthermore, the findings reached by Consolidated Analytics are dependent upon its receiving complete and accurate data regarding the loans from loan originators and other third parties upon which Consolidated Analytics is relying in reaching such findings.

Valuation Review

Consolidated Analytics performed a “Valuation Review,” which included the following:

a. Review original appraisal, determination that property is in “average” condition or better, or property requires cosmetic improvements (as defined by the appraiser) that do not affect habitability. Should an area of concern be identified with the condition of the property, Consolidated Analytics will alert Clients.

b. Review appraisal, determination that property is completely constructed and appraisal is on an “as is basis,” or property is identified as not completely constructed by originating appraiser.

c. Review and determine if the appraisal report was performed on appropriate GSE forms and if the appraiser indicated in the body of the subject appraisal that the appraisal conforms to USPAP standards.

d. Review and determine the relevance of the comparable properties and ensure that a rational and reliable value was provided and supported as of the effective date of the Origination Appraisal.

e. Review adjustments (line item, net and gross adjustments) to ensure they are reasonable.

f. Ensure that the appraisal conforms to the guidelines provided from the Clients.

g. Review appraisal to ensure all required documents were included.

h. Review location map provided within the appraisal for external obsolescence.

i. Ensure highest and best use and zoning complies with guidelines.

j. Confirm there are no marketability issues that affect the subject property.

k. Ensure subject property does not suffer any functional obsolescence.

l. Where applicable, determine if the file did not contain the appraisal or other valuation method and a review could not be performed.

m. Additional valuation products were not required when the CU score provided was 2.5 or below or the appraisal LCA risk score was eligible for Collateral Rep and Warranty relief. In the event the CU score was greater than 2.5 or the LCA score was not eligible for R&W relief, an additional valuation product was obtained to confirm value was supported within 10% tolerance. In some instances, based on guidance from the seller, CDA’s were ordered on loans that had an acceptable CU score or R&W eligibility.

Consolidated Analytics applied a cascade methodology to determine if the original appraised value was reasonably supported when compared to an independent third party valuation product.

For loans reviewed in a post-close valuation review scenario (219 loans in total):

One hundred and fifty-four (154) loans had CU scores of 2.5 or less or were eligible for Collateral Rep and Warranty relief.

Twenty-four (24) loans had an AVM, eight (8) loans had Secondary Appraisals, and fifty-two (52) loans had a Desktop Review. Consolidated Analytics has independent access to the Desktop Reviews ordered by the Aggregator.

If a loan with an AVM or Desktop Review fell outside of a -10% tolerance, was inconclusive, or a PIW was present, then an additional valuation product was completed. There were zero (0) instances of this.

Product totals may not sum due to multiple products for each loan

TAPE INTEGRITY REVIEW RESULTS SUMMARY

Of the 219 mortgage loans reviewed, one hundred (119) unique mortgage loans (54.34% by loan count) had a total of two-hundred and thirty (230) tape discrepancies across fifteen (15) data fields. A blank or zero value on the data tape when an actual value was captured by Consolidated Analytics was not treated as a data variance.

Exception Category Summary

The table below summarizes the individual exceptions which carried an associated “A”, “B”, “C”, or “D” level exception grade. One loan may have carried more than one exception. In such cases, the exception with the lowest grade would drive the loan grade for that particular area of the review. The overall loan grade is the lowest grade for any one particular review scope (ex. a loan with a Compliance Grade of “B”, a Credit Grade of “A”, and a Property Grade of “A” would receive an overall Loan Grade of “B”).
