QUALIFIED MORTGAGE (QM)

With respect to QM (Safe Harbor and Rebuttable Presumption) designated loans, Clarifii reviewed the loan to determine whether, based on available information in the loan file, (i) the loan contained risky loan features and terms (e.g. an interest only feature or negative amortization), (ii) the “points and fees” exceeded the applicable QM threshold, (iii) the monthly payment was calculated appropriately, (iv) the creditor considered and verified income or assets at or before consummation, (v) the creditor appropriately considered debt obligations, alimony and child support, and (vi) at the time of consummation, if the debt-to-income ratio exceeded 43% (calculated in accordance with Appendix Q to Regulation Z). This portion of the Review included a recalculation of all income and liabilities with attention to the appropriate documentation of each source.

 

If a loan was designated as QM and identified as eligible for guarantee, purchase, or insurance by an applicable Agency, as permitted under the QM final rule, Clarifii reviewed the loan to determine whether, based on available information in the loan file the loan satisfied (i), (ii) and (iii) in the preceding paragraph and reviewed the Automated Underwriting System output within the file to confirm agency eligibility.

 

 

PRKCM 2024-HOME1 DUE DILIGENCE NARRATIVE REPORT – PAGE | 12

 

For each QM designated loan that satisfied the applicable requirements enumerated above, Clarifii then determined whether the loan was a Safe Harbor QM or Rebuttable Presumption QM by comparing the loan’s actual annual percentage rate, as recalculated, to the applicable average prime offer rate plus a certain applicable percentage.

 

ABILITY TO REPAY (ATR)

Clarifii reviewed the loan to determine whether, based on available information in the loan file, the creditor considered, as applicable, the following eight underwriting factors, and verified such information using reasonably reliable third-party records, at or before consummation: (i) the consumer’s current or reasonably expected income or assets, (ii) if the creditor relied on income from the consumer’s employment in determining repayment ability, the consumer’s current employment status; (iii) the consumer’s monthly payment; (iv) the consumer’s monthly payment on any simultaneous loan that the creditor knows or has reason to know will be made; (v) the consumer’s monthly payment for mortgage-related obligations; (vi) the consumer’s current debt obligations, alimony, and child support; (vii) the consumer’s monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income; and (viii) the consumer’s credit history. This portion of the Review also focused on full recalculation of income and debts, as well as the documentation provided to support each item used in originator’s determination of the ability to repay.

 

Note: for loans designated as QM – Agency eligible (QM – Temporary), Clarifii did not review for compliance with the requirements of Appendix Q or General Ability to Repay.

 

Clarifii reviewed loans to determine their conformity with the ATR/QM factors above, and did not render an independent assessment or opinion, warranty or represent that a loan will be deemed to conform to Safe Harbor, Rebuttable Presumption, ATR, or other status based on any additional or revised factors that may be considered by legislative, regulatory, administrative, or judicial authorities (Authorities). Clarifii does not represent or warrant that the factors for which it has reviewed that the loans constitute all the factors and/or criteria that Authorities may consider in determining the status of a loan.

 

Clarifii’s review was based on information contained in the loan file at the time it was provided for review. All loans in the population reviewed by Clarifii were investment properties and were found to not be ATR/QM applicable.

 

VALUATION REVIEW

Clarifii reviewed all appraisals and alternative value tools used to qualify the Loan for reasonableness of estimated value, comparable sales, completeness of data and eligibility of the appraiser, compared to underwriting guidelines, variances, and tolerances. Clarifii determined that the appraised value appeared to be supported, based on the valuation provided by the Independent Third-party Review.

 

Title XI of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA)

Clarifii checked for the presence of the appraiser’s license and reviewed for the presence of any red flags related to the mortgaged property that may have posed a risk to the property or occupants.

 

 

Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP)

Clarifii confirmed the appraiser’s certification is present and executed within the original appraisal.

 

 

PRKCM 2024-HOME1 DUE DILIGENCE NARRATIVE REPORT – PAGE | 13

 

INDEPENDENT THIRD-PARTY VALUES

Clarifii applied a cascade methodology to the population to determine if the original appraisal value was reasonably supported when compared to an independent third-party valuation product.

 

Valuation Reconciliation Process:

If the AVM (Automated Valuation Model) supported the origination appraised value within -10% variance, no additional products were required.
  If the Desk Review supported the origination appraised value within a -10% variance, no additional products were required.
  In the event the Desk Review process yielded material exceptions or had a value exceeding a negative ten percent (-10%) variance, a field review was ordered to further establish the supported value, unless guidelines allowed for the use of the lower Desk Review value for purpose of LTV/CLTV/HCLTV.

 

Uniform Collateral Data Portal (UCDP) Risk Score:

  For loans with a Fannie Mae Collateral Underwriter Score (CU), if an CU Score was available and the CU Score was greater than 2.5, a Desk Review was either reviewed in the loan file or ordered by Clarifii. If the CU Score was less than or equal to 2.5, a Desk Review was not obtained/required based on market acceptance of UCDP Risk Score.

 

 

 

VALUATION RESULTS SUMMARY

The two tables below summarize the loans that contained independent third-party valuation product as well as loans with acceptable UCDP Risk Scores:

 

Valuation Product # of Files – No Hit # of Files > -10% Variance to OA or Confidence < 80% Number of Files within - 10% of OA or Acceptable UCDP Risk Score
AVM 0 0 0
