24 HAFA Process Bankruptcy Considerations 1 Borrowers in bankruptcy must be considered for HAFA if requested. 2 Servicers are not required to proactively solicit borrowers in bankruptcy. 3 Time allowances are acceptable for bankruptcy related delays. 24
25 HAFA Process Notice for Ineligible Borrowers When a HAFA short sale or DIL cannot be offered, the servicer must communicate such decision in writing to the borrower that: States the decision made and the reason why a short sale or DIL under HAFA cannot be offered. Provides a toll free number that the borrower may call to discuss the decision. Includes the borrower s eligibility for a proprietary short sale or DIL alternative.

Includes any information, disclosures or notices required by the borrower s mortgage documents and applicable federal, state and local law.

26 HAFA Process Property Valuation and Assessment 1 Assess current value of property 2 Perform financial analysis of anticipated recovery 3 Determine availability of a clear title 26
27 HAFA Process Determine Minimum Net Determine the minimum acceptable net proceeds amount, which: Is expressed as either a fixed dollar amount, a percentage of the current market value of the property, or a percentage of the list price as approved by the servicer Must be at least equal to or less than the list price, minus the sum of allowable costs that may be deducted from gross sale proceeds (or acceptable sale proceeds) Must include allowable transaction costs by considering reasonable and customary real estate transaction costs for the community in which the property is located 27
28 HAFA Process Determine Minimum Net After sending the Short Sale Notice or other pre approval terms for a HAFA short sale, the Minimum Net requirement may not be increased until the initial date for expiration of the pre approved HAFA short sale terms is reached. The servicer must: 1 Determine the allowable transaction costs the investor is willing to pay from the sale proceeds 2 Apply its HAFA Policy to outline the basis by which the minimum acceptable net proceeds will be determined 28
29 HAFA Process Arm s Length Transaction The short sale must be an arm s length transaction with the net proceeds being applied to a discounted mortgage payoff acceptable to the servicer. The servicer may approve optional sale to non profit organization with the purpose of rental or resale to the borrower, as long as all other HAFA requirements are met. 29
30 HAFA Process Other Considerations Mortgage Insurance Approval The servicer or investor must obtain mortgage insurance approval for loans that have mortgage insurance coverage for HAFA foreclosure alternatives. Payment Amounts The servicer must identify in the Short Sale Notice, DIL Agreement or any proprietary form DIL notice or agreement, the amount of the monthly mortgage payment that the borrower is required to make, if applicable. 30
31 HAFA Process Short Sale Notice Short Sale Notice If the servicer determines a short sale is in the best interest of the investor, the servicer will prepare and send a Short Sale Notice to the borrower. Servicers are encouraged, but not required, to use the Short Sale Notice found on HMPadmin.com. If the servicer does not use the Treasury form posted on HMPadmin.com, the servicer s Short Sale Notice should include specific information as detailed in the guidance within the Handbook. Note: The borrower is NOT required to sign or return the Short Sale Notice. 31
32 HAFA Process Short Sale Notice The servicer s Short Sale Notice should include the following: Fixed termination date not less than 120 calendar days from the effective date of the Short Sale Notice List price approved by the servicer, or acceptable sales proceeds expressed as a net amount that the servicer will accept from the transaction Notice that the servicer will allow a portion of gross sale proceeds to be paid to subordinate lien holders in exchange for release liens Notice that upon successful closing of a short sale, the servicer will record a mortgage lien release and the borrower will be released from all liability for repayment 32
33 HAFA Process Respond to Offer Pre approved Short Sale Notice Within three business days of receipt of an executed sales offer, the borrower or the borrower s listing agent must send the executed purchase offer and other documents the servicer requires being delivered to the servicer. Net sale proceeds exceed Minimum Net If the net sale proceeds from a pre approved HAFA short sale equal or exceed the Minimum Net established by the servicer and the offer meets all other sales term and conditions of the pre approval, the servicer must notify the borrower of its approval of the proposed sale within 10 business days of receipt of the Offer Documents. 33
34 HAFA Process Respond to Offer Pre approved Short Sale Notice Net sale proceeds are less than Minimum Net If the net sale proceeds from a pre approved HAFA short sale are less than the Minimum Net established by the servicer or the offer fails to meet any other sales term or conditions of the pre approval, the servicer, within 10 business days of receipt of the Offer Documents, must notify the borrower of its approval or disapproval of the offer, or intent to make a counter offer. Under HAFA, servicers are not prohibited from accepting an offer with net proceeds that are less than the Minimum Net so long as the sale is in the best interest of the investor. Note: The sale closing should take place within a reasonable period following acceptance of the executed sales contract, but no less than 45 calendar days from the date of the sales contract unless the borrower consents. 34
35 HAFA Process Response to Offer Sales Contract Prior to Pre Approved Short Sale Terms Borrowers with an executed Sales Contract can request that the servicer approve a short sale under HAFA before the issuance of a Short Sale Notice by delivering the Sales Contract to the servicer. Within 5 business days of receipt of an executed sales contract, the servicer must send written acknowledgment of receipt of the borrower s request using the ARSS form or any other written communication similar in content. Servicer must determine the borrower s eligibility for HAMP, notify the borrower of such eligibility, and allow the borrower to request HAMP consideration, if applicable. 35
36 HAFA Process Borrower Scenarios Previously submitted executed Hardship Affidavit or RMA, if applicable Within 30 calendar days of receipt of an executed sales contract, the servicer must verify the borrower s eligibility for HAFA and communicate approval or disapproval of the sale, or provide a counter offer. No previously submitted Hardship Affidavit or RMA and Pre Determined Hardship Within 30 calendar days of receipt of an executed sales contract, the servicer must verify the borrower s eligibility for HAFA and communicate approval or disapproval of the sale, or provide counter offer 36
37 HAFA Process Borrower Scenarios No Hardship Affidavit or RMA and/or Pre Determined Hardship Within 30 calendar days of receipt of an executed Hardship Affidavit, the servicer must verify the borrower s hardship and eligibility for HAFA and communicate approval or disapproval of the sale, or provide counter offer. 37
38 HAFA Process Subordinate Lien Considerations Subordinate lien holders are paid in order of priority. Servicer authorizes the settlement agent to allow any portion of the gross proceeds to be distributed as payment to non mortgage subordinate lien holders. All proceeds distributed as payment to subordinate lien holders are conditioned on receipt of lien releases and full release of borrower from liability. Servicers may establish an aggregate cap with regard to the amount of gross sales proceeds such lien holders may be paid, provided such cap is not less than $12,000. (Must be included in HAFA Matrix) Servicers must document the agreement in their servicing system and/or mortgage loan file. 38
39 HAFA Process Subordinate Liens Roles and Responsibilities Borrower Deliver clear marketable title Servicer Subordinate Lien Holder Negotiate with subordinate lien holders on behalf of the borrower (not mandatory) Authorize settlement agent to use portions of gross sale proceeds to pay off subordinate lien holders Release borrower from liens and liability Provide written commitment to release the borrower from all claims 39
40 HAFA Process Relocation Assistance Borrower who occupies the property as a principal residence and is required to vacate may be eligible to receive $10,000 in relocation assistance for a HAFA short sale or DIL closing Borrower may be eligible to claim relocation assistance for a tenant who occupies the rental property as a principal residence if the tenant is required to vacate as a condition of the short sale or DIL Borrower must provide servicer with evidence that the borrower, tenant, or other non borrower occupant was residing in the property as a principal residence Servicer may not authorize a closing that includes HAFA relocation assistance unless and until the servicer has received evidence of occupancy and executed Dodd Frank Certification(s) and, if applicable, Non Owner Occupant Certification 40
41 HAFA Process Short Sale Notice Termination The servicer may terminate the terms of the pre approval before its expiration for the following reasons: The borrower s financial situation improves The borrower and/or listing agent fails to act in good faith in listing, marketing, or closing the sale A significant change occurs to the property condition and/or value Evidence of fraud or misrepresentation Borrower files for bankruptcy and court does not approve the sale Litigation is initiated or threatened that could affect title or interfere with conveyance The borrower fails to make the monthly payment (if stipulated in the Short Sale Notice) 41
42 HAFA Process Deed in Lieu Servicers can use their discretion to offer and accept a DIL as part of the HAFA program, in accordance with its HAFA policy and investor guidelines. Borrower, tenant, or other non borrower occupant must agree to vacate the property Property must be left in broom clean condition Borrower must deliver clear, marketable title Note: Servicer may typically require that a borrower make a good faith effort to list and market the property before they will be willing to accept a DIL. 42
43 HAFA Process Deed in Lieu Terms The following terms apply to a HAFA DIL: Borrower conveys clear title to servicer and investor The written DIL communication must specify the property vacate date DIL may provide option for borrower to rent property or buy it back later Amount of the monthly mortgage payment required until closing, if any Notice that servicer will record a mortgage lien release upon successful closing of the DIL Note: Written communication must be provided from the servicer to the borrower detailing the terms of a DIL, whether the servicer uses the Short Sale Notice, DIL Agreement or other written notice or agreement. 43
