An Earlier View into Condo Project Eligibility and Identifying More ‘Project Certified’ Projects
Want to increase the number of condo projects you don’t need to fully underwrite anymore? A new capability in Condo Project Advisor® may enable you to do just that by giving you the ability to submit a project for Project Certified Review earlier in the loan origination process. This enhancement can jumpstart your condo originations and give you confidence in project eligibility earlier in the process.
Now Live: PCS without Loan Product Advisor® (LPASM) Key or Seller Loan Number
As of April 12, 2024, the Project Certified Submission (PCS) process in Condo Project Advisor no longer requires the submission of an LPA Key or Seller Loan Number at the time of PAR submission to request a PCS.
This means condo projects may be eligible to receive the Project Certified status through the PCS process even without the previously required data points.
How to get your 'Project Certified’ Status Feedback Certificate
If you receive the ‘Project Certified’ status for a condo project without an LPA Key or Seller Loan Number, you will not be able to download the feedback certificate for a specific loan.
In other words, you’ll have the benefit of an early view into project eligibility through Condo Project Advisor, and with a known project certified status, you can take advantage of the minimal project underwriting for loans secured by units within those projects while the project has the Project Certified status.
Once you receive the LPA Key or Seller Loan Number from LPA, you can submit a new PAR to download a ‘Project Certified’ status feedback certificate for a specific loan. You can quickly download the feedback certificate from the PAR Results Summary page or from the Project Assessment Results page directly from the table.
