September Loan Product Advisor Enhancements

September Loan Product Advisor® (LPASM) releases include enhancements to help you streamline the underwriting process and to stay current on the latest Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide updates. These changes can assist you in better supporting more qualified borrowers with additional opportunities to make home ownership affordable in the communities you serve. This month’s enhancements include:

  • Improved loan assignment functionality that allows you to view credit data and LPA Feedback Certificates for loans assigned to you without requiring you to first resubmit the loan.
  • New Duty to Serve loan program identifiers (LPIs) that help control purchase prices of home sales, ensuring lasting affordability for borrowers with low or moderate incomes.
  • Changes to Supplemental Consumer Information Form (SCIF) requirements as outlined in our July 6 article.
  • Updated ARM qualifying PITI rate calculation to round numbers per the Guide.
