3 LTV MATRIX PRIMARY RESIDENCE ONLY INTEREST RATE REDUCTION REFINANCE LOANS (IRRRL) LTV CLTV/HCLTV FICO LOAN AMOUNT UNDERWRITING 100% 1 100% 640 Up to $700,000 Manual Page 3 of 8 100% 1 100% 700 $700,001 to $1.5M 2,3,4 Manual 1 Properties located in Nevada are reduced to 95% maximum LTV 2 Loan Amounts > $700,000 require an exception 3 Loan Amounts > $700,000 require the Underwriter to complete Registration form 19 located on Sharepoint 4 Loan Amounts > $1,000,000 require appraisal to be performed by Certified Appraiser PROGRAM SUMMARY An Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) is a VA-guaranteed loan made to refinance an existing VAguaranteed loan, generally at a lower interest rate than the existing VA loan, with lower principal and interest payments than the existing VA loan, and has a more streamlined underwriting process with reduced documentation. LOAN AMOUNTS Always use VA Form , IRRRL Worksheet, to calculate the maximum loan amount. The maximum loan amount is the existing VA loan balances plus the following: including any late charges (as long as the borrower has not been 30 days late in the past 12 months), plus allowable fees and charges (includes up to two discount points), plus the cost of any energy efficiency improvements, and the VA funding fee. ***Note: There is no maximum dollar amount for VA loans. Since an IRRRL rolls the above items into the new loan, and VA guarantees at least 25 percent of the loan amount (without regard to the veteran s entitlement), the new loan amount may be more than the limits established by the secondary market. It is the Underwriter s responsibility to ensure it has a marketable loan. ***Note: Loan Amounts over $700,000 require an Exception LOAN PROGRAM CODES VA15SR VA20SR VA25SR VA30SR VA5/1SR LOAN TERMS The maximum loan term is the original term of the VA loan being refinanced plus 10 years, but not to exceed 30 years and 32 days. For example, if the old loan was made with a 15-year term, the term of the new loan cannot exceed 25 years. ADJUSTMENT RATE DETAILS CAPS MARGIN INDEX FLOOR 1/1/5 2.00% Constant Maturity Treasury Index Margin ELIGIBLE PROPERTY TYPES Refer to the VA Guidelines. Condos do not require a condo approval.

4 INELIGIBLE PROPERTY TYPES Refer to the VA Guidelines. Page 4 of 8 INTERESTED PARTY CONTRIBUTIONS N/A MORTGAGE INSURANCE N/A MAX NUMBER OF FINANCED PROPERTIES No limit. QUALIFYING RATE Qualify at the Note Rate QUALIFYING RATIOS Ratios are not calculated for the VA IRRRL program. RESERVES Not required. SEASONING A minimum of 6 month payment history on the current mortgage is required. If less than 6 months, loan must be documented and underwritten as a standard VA refinance transaction. If the loan is seasoned 12 months or more, evidence that the existing loan has not had any 30-day or greater mortgage lates in the past 12 months SUBORDINATE FINANCING The new IRRRL must replace the existing VA loan as the first lien on the same property. Any second-lien holder would have to agree to subordinate to the first lien holder. An existing 2nd mortgage may be subordinated (new subordinate financing is not allowed). UNDERWRITING The principal and interest payment on the IRRRL MUST be less than the loan being refinanced unless one of the following exceptions applies: the IRRRL is refinancing an ARM OR the term of the IRRRL is shorter than the term of the loan being refinanced. A significant increase in the veteran s monthly payment may occur with any of these three exceptions, especially if combined with one or more of the following: financing of closing costs, financing of up to two discount points, financing of the funding fee, and/or higher interest rate when an ARM is being refinanced. If the monthly payment (PITI) increases by 20 percent or more: the Underwriter must determine the veteran qualifies for the new payment from an underwriting standpoint; such as, determine whether the borrower can support the proposed shelter expense and other recurring monthly obligations in light of income established as stable and reliable.

5 Page 5 of 8 The Underwriter must include a certification that the veteran qualifies for the new monthly payment which exceeds the previous payment by 20% or more. document the veteran qualifies for the new monthly payment by the following: o Pay stubs covering at least the most recent 30 day-period o 2 years W2s o DTI > 41% up to 50% requires documented compensating factors Maximum 50% DTI when PITI will increase 20% or more 4506-T Not required for VA IRRRL transactions. Allowable Financed Closing Cost Fees The following fees and charges may be included in an IRRRL: the VA funding fee, and any allowable fees and charges; such as, all allowable closing costs, including Bay Equity s flat charge. only up to two discount points can be included in the loan amount o any amount over 2 points must be paid in cash any customary and reasonable credit report or appraisal expense incurred by a lender to satisfy its lending requirements may be charged to the borrower and included in the loan. Amount of Guaranty and Entitlement No additional charge is made to the veteran s entitlement for an IRRRL; such as, the amount of the veteran s previously used and available entitlement remains the same before and after obtaining the IRRRL. The new IRRRL loan amount may be equal to, greater than, or less than, the original amount of the loan being refinanced. This may impact the amount of guaranty on the new loan, but not the veteran s use of entitlement. Example of New Loan Amount More Than Old Loan The existing VA loan was originally made for $110,000 with a guaranty of $27,500, or 25 percent. The new IRRRL is for $112,000. The guaranty on the new loan is $28,000 or 25 percent, but the veteran s entitlement use remains at $27,500. Example of New Loan Amount Less Than Old Loan The existing VA loan was originally made for $42,000 with a guaranty of $25,000, or almost 60 percent (the percentage applicable under former law). The new IRRRL is for $40,000. The guaranty on the new loan is $20,000 or 50 percent, but the veteran s entitlement use remains at $25,000. Amount IRRRLs up to $45,000 IRRRLs of $45,001 to $56,250 IRRRLs of $56,251 to $144,000 IRRRLs greater than $144,000 How to calculate the amount of guaranty on an IRRRL First, calculate the lesser of: 50 percent of the IRRRL loan amount, or the amount of guaranty used on the VA loan being refinanced. The amount of guaranty is the greater of: the above result, or 25 percent of the IRRRL loan amount. First, calculate the lesser of: $22,500, or the amount of guaranty used on the VA loan being refinanced. The amount of guaranty is the greater of: the above result, or 25 percent of the IRRRL loan amount. First, calculate the lesser of: 40 percent of the IRRRL loan amount, or the amount of guaranty used on the VA loan being refinanced. The amount of guaranty is the greater of: the above result, or 25 percent of the IRRRL loan amount. Guaranty on these is always 25 percent of the IRRRL loan amount.
