The Mortgagee must also determine that any recent debts were not incurred to obtain any part of the Borrower s required funds to close on the Property being purchased. Material Inquiries refer to inquires which may potentially result in obligations incurred by the Borrower for other Mortgages, auto loans, leases, or other Installment Loans. Inquiries from department stores, credit bureaus, and insurance companies are not considered material inquiries. General Liabilities and Debts listed on URLA The Mortgagee must determine the Borrower s monthly liabilities by reviewing all debts listed on the credit report, Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA), and required documentation. All applicable monthly liabilities must be included in the qualifying ratio. Closed-end debts do not have to be included if they will be paid off within 10 months and the cumulative payments of all such debts are less than or equal to 5 percent of the Borrower s gross monthly income.

Loans secured against deposited funds, where repayment may be obtained through extinguishing the asset and these funds are not included in calculating the Borrower s assets, do not require consideration of repayment for qualifying purposes.

Undisclosed Mortgage Debt When a debt or obligation that is secured by a Mortgage not listed on the mortgage application and/or credit report and not considered by the AUS is revealed during the application process, the Mortgagee must downgrade to a Refer and manually underwrite the Mortgage.

Alimony, Child Support, and Maintenance For Alimony, if the Borrower s income was not reduced by the amount of the monthly alimony obligation in the Mortgagee s calculation of the Borrower s gross income, the Mortgagee must include the monthly obligation in the calculation of the Borrower s debt. Child Support and Maintenance are to be treated as a recurring liability and the Mortgagee must include the monthly obligation in the Borrower s liabilities and debt. Non-Borrowing Spouse Debt in Community Property States If the Borrower resides in a community property state or the Property being insured is located in a community property state, debts of the non-borrowing spouse must be included in the Borrower s qualifying ratios, except for obligations specifically excluded by state law. The nonborrowing spouse s credit history is not considered a reason to deny a mortgage application. Deferred Obligations o The Mortgagee must use the actual monthly payment to be paid on a deferred liability, whenever available. o If the actual monthly payment is not available for installment debt, the Mortgagee must utilize the terms of the debt or 5 percent of the outstanding balance to establish the monthly payment. o For a student loan, if the actual monthly payment is zero or is not available, the Mortgagee must utilize 2 percent of the outstanding balance to establish the monthly payment. Installment Loans, not secured by real estate o If the credit report does not include a monthly payment for the loan, the Mortgagee must use the amount of the monthly payment shown in the loan agreement or payment statement Effective Income refers to income that may be used to qualify a Borrower for a Mortgage.
