Approval vs. Pre-Qual Letters

I would like to take a moment to discuss sending pre-qualification and approval letter on borrowers. Please note that according to Florida Statue 494 approval letter can only be generated after the borrowers file has been approved thru a lenders underwriter and they have issued an approval. The approval letter must state the terms of the approval and any/all outstanding underwriting items. Pre-Qualification letters can be generated on borrowers prior to underwriting approval, but all outstanding conditions (such a underwriting verification, appraisal, ect) need to be reflected on the letter. The 2 examples approved by Innovative Mortgage can be found @ www.TheMortgageIsRight.com/Disclosures. It is imperative that you utilize the appropriate forms when an approval letter is requested. Please contact me should you have any questions regarding these forms. Failure to follow the above policy is a violation of Florida Statue 494.

SalezTrax processing forms

Please contact SalezTrax for two forms that we would like to provide to your loan associates to assist them in expediting the loan process. The FAST TRAX PROCESSING form is a list of disclosures and a cheat sheet to remind of the Calyx data entry requirements that will assist in getting a completed file to us at the first submission. The BROKER CONTACT form is an information form that will provide us with email address, user id’s and passwords that we need in order to process their files efficiently. Thank you. Justine Vega

FHA Lender

Carlos Unzueta, one of our Loan Associates, was kind enough to forward this. I know some of you have been looking for a ‘no minimum’ credit score FHA lender. Please see below. We are already approved with them. Please remember to abide by the new processing requirements as sent out last week. Robert Palmer is the new AE and their website address is www.mimbroker.com and rate sheets can be accessed from that site without a password or sign on. Have a great day. They are still doing FHA with no minimum credit score required!

New Policies

Be sure to read this. Your future commissions will be impacted. Innovativewill not pay commissions on any loans that are originated outside of thescope of these new policies.
Unfortunately, due to the rampant fraud throughout the industry we have nochoice but to implement these policies for all Loan Associates/Originators.
1. ALL new loan applications, for registrations received today andhereafter, must be processed by a company approved processor. Currentlythere are only three company approved processors, but we will be addingmore as deemed necessary. Self processing is no longer permitted for anytype loan.

2. Two forms of identification are required for ALL loan applicants.Valid forms of identification can be viewed on the attached I-9 form.Identification MUST consist of one item from List 'B' and one item from List'C' for a total of two forms of identification. See I-9 list attachedbelow.
3. Tax Transcripts are now required on ALL loans. The Loan Processormust have signed off on the tax transcripts to validate that the income hasbeen cross referenced. Transcripts run $25 and can be ordered throughAdvantage Credit under your current account with them. To avoid unnecessarycost, the transcript may be ordered once the loan is approved, prior toclosing. Transcripts take 3-5 days so be sure to leave yourself enough timeas to when you authorize the loan processor to request them. Remember tohave your borrowers sign a 4506T as well so that the transcripts can beordered.
As an alternative to ordering the transcripts, in aneffort to avoid the additional cost, we will accept those provided by thefunding wholesale lender. Not all lenders are willing to provide the brokeror actually pull a transcript, so be prepared to supply one in the eventthat you or the processor cannot obtain it from the funding lender.
It is not our intent to restrict your ability to originate businesseffectively and efficiently. These policies will help Innovative ensure theadditional Quality Control necessary to filter any potential 'bad' loans.Our goal is to continue to keep our doors open in order for you to continueto operate your business while being compensated as aggressively aspossible.
