Doing Business and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance Other Participants in FHA Transactions Q9: Why is FHA just now publishing SF Handbook Doing Business and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance Other Participants subsections? A9: The special requirements for stakeholders, such as 203(k) Consultants, Direct Endorsement (DE) underwriters, and Nonprofits and Governmental Entities, were developed separately from those included in the larger Doing Business with FHA and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance sections. The aforementioned Doing Business with FHA Other Participants and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance Other Participants subsections were posted in draft form for feedback in January 2015, with the feedback period ending on February 22, After assessing the feedback received, FHA has now finalized these subsections for publication on August 26, For 203(k) Consultants and DE Underwriters, these SF Handbook policies become effective for case numbers assigned on or after March 14, Policies related to Nonprofits and Governmental Entities become effective on March 14, Until the aforementioned policies become effective, all related applicable law and existing Single Family Handbooks, Mortgagee Letters, and policy documents continue to apply. Note, however, that the Doing Business with FHA and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance Other Participants in FHA Transactions - Appraiser subsections were developed separately and published on March 18, The policies contained in these subsections will become effective on September 14, Q10: Are there policy changes in the SF Handbook Doing Business and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance Other Participants sections? 3
4 A10: Yes. There are policy and other changes in the Doing Business with FHA and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance Other Participants 203(k) Consultant, Direct Endorsement (DE) Underwriter, and Nonprofit and Governmental Entity subsections that published on August 26, Some are changes in the various subsections are to actual FHA policies, while others are to existing policy language and terminology so that its tone and style is consistent with other previously published sections of the SF Handbook. Q11: Will FHA publish a Highlights of Changes document that summarizes the policy changes contained in the Doing Business and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance Other Participants subsections? A11: No. Specific policy changes must be read and understood within the full context of the published sections. Q12: Can I still submit feedback on the draft versions of the Doing Business and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance sections? A12: No; these sections are no longer drafts; they are now published policy. On August 26, 2015, FHA published the Doing Business and Oversight and Compliance Other Participants 203(k) Consultant, Direct Endorsement (DE) Underwriter, and Nonprofit and Governmental Entity subsections. These subsections are now incorporated within the larger Doing Business with FHA and Quality Control, Oversight and Compliance sections of HUD Handbook Origination through Endorsement General Q13: What is the effective date for the SF Handbook Origination through Post-Closing/Endorsement for Title II Forward Mortgages section? A13: The SF Handbook Origination through Post-Closing/Endorsement for Title II Forward Mortgages (Origination through Endorsement) section becomes effective for FHA case numbers assigned on or after September 14, All applicable existing Single Family Handbooks, Mortgagee Letters and policy documents continue to apply until Origination through Endorsement becomes effective for FHA case numbers assigned on or after September 14, Q14: Are there policy changes in the SF Handbook Origination through Endorsement section? A14: Yes. The Origination through Endorsement section of the SF Handbook, which published on September 30, 2014, contained both changes to FHA policies, and revisions to existing policy language. The updates and additions to this section - subsequently published also contained policy changes and revisions that were implemented by Mortgagee Letters between September 30, 2014 and August 26, Q15: Can I still submit feedback on the policies contained in the draft Origination through Endorsement section posted on the FHA s Drafting Table web page? A15: No. The official feedback period is closed. 4
5 Q16: Why are there no Condominium Project Approval requirements in Origination through Endorsement? A16: FHA s Condominium Project Approval requirements will go through a formal rule making process before they are published in the Origination through Endorsement section. Our existing Condominium Project Approval requirements located in Mortgagee Letter , and the Condominium Project Approval and Processing Guide attached to Mortgagee Letter continue to apply. Q17: How do I know what s changed in Origination through Endorsement? A17: Policy changes and revisions made to Origination through Endorsement are noted in the SF Handbook Transmittals, which are available in the online SF Handbook (HUD Handbook ). Q18: Were there changes to the Streamline Refinance product as a result of the Notice published in the Federal Register in October 2014? A18: A final effective date for FHA s Streamline Refinance requirements, which, after review of the comments received in response to the Federal Register notice soliciting comments on this section, remain unchanged from those published in the Origination through Endorsement section on September 30, Q19: Why do you say that the Origination through Endorsement section is essentially complete? A19: The Condominium Project Approval section of Origination through Endorsement must go through formal rule-making before it can be completed and published. The HUD REO Purchasing section is still in development. Despite these yet-to-be published components, mortgagees and other stakeholders now have a consolidated source of policy available for origination through obtaining an FHA insurance endorsement for essentially all FHA Title II forward mortgage products and programs. Q20: Why are there links in Origination through Endorsement that do not work? A20: There are links in the Origination through Endorsement section of the online SF Handbook that are inactive at this time. These links are placeholders and will become live when the connecting sections of the SF Handbook are published. Q21: Which Mortgagee Letters no longer apply on the Origination through Endorsement effective date? A21: On March 18, 2015, and on August 14, 2015, FHA published a list of Single Family Mortgagee Letters and Handbooks that will be superseded in whole or in part by the Origination through Endorsement section when the section becomes effective. On April 30, 2015, FHA extended the effective date for the SF Handbook to September 14, 2015, and thus, all policy documents on this list will now be superseded as of the new, September 14, 2015 effective date. Please note that all applicable law and Single Family Handbooks, Mortgagee Letters and policy documents continue to apply until Origination through Endorsement becomes effective for FHA case numbers assigned on and after September 14, Q22: After the September 14, 2015 effective date for Origination through Endorsement, will I still have access to superseded Mortgagee Letters and Handbooks? A22: Yes. FHA is working on its system for marking and making available its superseded Mortgagee Letters and other policy documents to launch on or shortly after the Origination through Endorsement September 14, 2015 effective date. FHA understands that these documents must remain available to mortgagees and other stakeholders for a variety of purposes. All Mortgagee Letters and other policy 5
6 documents to be superseded by the SF Handbook on its effective date are still posted on HUDCLIPS today. Q23: When will the FHA Resource Center s Knowledge Base be updated to reflect the policies contained in the Origination through Endorsement section? A23: FHA intends to have its Resource Center online Knowledge Base updated to reflect Origination through Endorsement policy information on September 14, FHA has published a preview of detailed Frequently Asked Questions that will be uploaded to the online Knowledge Base on September 14, These detailed FAQs can be previewed on FHA s SF Handbook Information Page at: Q24: Will FHA continue to issue policy revisions for Origination through Endorsement before the September 14, 2015 effective date? A24: FHA may issue additional policy changes that will revise content in the Origination through Endorsement section. In addition, policy and wording changes that FHA intends to make in the future, and that have not yet been incorporated into the online SF Handbook, are published on FHA s SF Handbook Information page on HUD.gov at: Q25: Will FHA publish a Highlights of Changes document that summarizes the policy changes contained in Origination through Endorsement? A25: No. The Origination through Endorsement section is a significant change in how FHA presents policies and requirements. Specific policy changes must be read and understood within the full context of the section. FHA has posted a series of pre-recorded training sessions for stakeholders. These selfpaced pre-recorded sessions are available 24/7 on HUD.gov, and provide detailed and comprehensive reviews of the policies contained in each section of Origination through Endorsement. Stakeholders can access the pre-recorded modules at: Section 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage Insurance Program Q26: What changed from the posted to the published version of the 203(K) product section? A26: There are few changes to the published version of FHA s 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage section from the draft version posted for feedback in August 2014 to the completed version published on March 18, Most, but not all, changes are to language to conform to the format and style of the SF Handbook, and to ensure a clear and consistent presentation of policy. Q27: FHA proposed several policy changes in the draft 203(k) product section. Have these proposals been incorporated into the published version? A27: Yes. With one notable exception, FHA incorporated all of its proposed 203(k) product changes from the draft section into the section that published on March 18, 2015 and that is now in the online SF Handbook. The exception is the requirement to obtain both an as-is and after improved appraisal on 203(k) mortgages, which FHA proposed in the draft version of this section, but did not adopt in the published section. Q28: What are the specific policy changes included in the published 203(k) product section? 6
7 A28: FHA is not publishing a detailed document of specific changes to the 203(k) product section, as it is important that mortgagees and 203(k) consultants read the section in its entirety to understand the policy within the context of the entire section and the larger Origination through Endorsement section. However, mortgagees should note several key changes in the section in particular: The Streamlined 203(k) Program name has been changed to its new name, Limited 203(k) Program. The establishment of a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio calculation of Mortgage Insurance Premiums (MIP) that is separate and distinct from the LTV ratio calculation for the maximum mortgage amount Revised appraisal requirements for properties that have sold in the previous 12 months. Elimination of the Form HUD 92700, Maximum Mortgage Worksheet, that was highlighted in the draft section posted for feedback. Technology is currently in development to automate the maximum mortgage calculation and make it available online as well as in FHA Connection. FHA will announce when this functionality is available. In addition, mortgagees should note that until FHA makes the maximum mortgage calculation functionality available in FHAC, mortgagees must detail the data delivery requirements in SF Handbook 8.a.xvi on the form HUD LT, or include the applicable 203(k) Maximum Mortgage Calculation Worksheet published on FHA s SF Handbook List of Linked References page. FHA will announce the availability of the FHAC 203(k) data delivery functionality when it becomes available, with a future effective date that will provide significant lead time for mortgagees to adopt its use before the mandatory effective date. Mortgagees, FHA-approved 203(k) Consultants and other stakeholders are encouraged to view FHA s self-paced, recorded Origination through Endorsement training modules. These training modules provide greater detail on FHA s 203(k) program and Consultant policies. These modules are available at: Q29: What is the effective date for the 203(k) policies contained in the 203(k) product section published on March 18, 2015? A29: The published 203(k) policies are effective for FHA case numbers assigned on and after September 14, This is the same effective date, extended from its original June 15, 2015 date, as the rest of the policies contained in the larger online SF Handbook Origination through Endorsement section. Q30: Must mortgagees continue to use Form HUD 92700, Maximum Mortgage Worksheet, until FHA Connection is updated with the automated calculation? A30: Effective for FHA case numbers assigned on or after September 14, 2015, the 203(k) section of the SF Handbook s Origination through Endorsement section contains the policy requirements for the calculation of the maximum mortgage amount. Mortgagees will not be required to complete Form HUD 92700, but: Must calculate the maximum mortgage amount in accordance with the requirements in the SF Handbook. 7
8 Detail the data delivery requirements in SF Handbook 8.a.xvi on the form HUD LT, or include the applicable 203(k) Maximum Mortgage Calculation Worksheet accessible from FHA s SF Handbook List of Linked References page until automated functionality is available in FHA Connection. Q31: Are there policy changes for 203(k) Consultants? A31: FHA revised the 203(k) Consultant section of Origination through Endorsement to conform language to the style of the larger SF Handbook, and for consistency and clarity of intent. These changes are not intended to be a departure from 203(k) Consultant requirements in place today. FHA-approved 203(k) Consultants are encouraged to view FHA s self-paced, recorded Origination through Endorsement training modules. These training modules provide greater detail on FHA s 203(k) program and Consultant policies. These modules are available at: Q32: Do the 203(k) Consultant policies impact a consultant s ability to maintain 203(k) Consultant Roster eligibility? A32: The 203(k) Consultant policies published on March 18, 2015 are for consultant actions required for the origination and processing of a 203(k) Rehabilitation Mortgage. This section does not cover 203(k) Roster eligibility requirements. 203(k) Consultant Roster eligibility requirements are still in draft form and will be published in the future in the Other Participants section of the SF Handbook s Doing Business with FHA section. All applicable law and existing Single Family Handbooks, Mortgagee Letters, and policy documents continue to apply. Q33: Has the 203(k) Handbook also been updated? A33: No. FHA s Single Family Handbook , 203(k) Rehabilitation Home Mortgage Insurance, will be completely superseded by the SF Handbook 203(k) product and consultant requirements, when these requirements become effective for FHA case numbers assigned on and after September 14, Q34: Has FHA changed its 203(k) Consultant fees with the publication of the 203(k) Consultant section? A34: The 203(k) Consultant fees in the published version of the 203(k) Consultant section remain unchanged from those currently in place. However, FHA intends to solicit public comment on its existing 203(k) Consultant fees in the near future. Appraiser & Property Requirements/Data Delivery Guide Q35: FHA proposed several policy changes in the draft Appraiser and Property Requirements section. Have these proposals been incorporated into the published version? A35: Yes. The published version of the Appraiser and Property Requirements for Title II Forward and Reverse Mortgages (Appraiser and Property Requirements) section includes the revisions and clarifications put forth in the draft section. This includes, but is not limited to, the following key policy revisions and clarifications: Properties with a Legal Non-Conforming Use: requiring the appraiser to comment if improvements can be rebuilt by right. Accessory Dwelling Units: emphasizing Highest and Best Use to determine property type of classification. 8
9 Attic and Crawl Space Inspection Requirements: clarifying that FHA requires an inspection. General Acceptance Criteria, Property Eligibility, Non-residential Use of Property: ensuring that mixed use properties comply with zoning. Cost and Income Approach for Value: clarifying that ALL appropriate approaches must be utilized when applicable. Sales History of Comparables: Requiring three years or more, instead of one year, and requiring due diligence by the appraiser for analyzing prior sales of comparable properties. Energy Efficient Building Components, Solar Systems, etc.: requiring that contributory value of building components that enhance efficiency or energy savings must be analyzed and reported. FHA requires that the appraiser utilize all appropriate methods of valuation and does not restrict this to only a matched pairs analysis. Q36: What are the specific policy changes included in the published version of the Appraiser and Property Requirements section? A36: FHA is not publishing a detailed document of specific changes to the Appraiser and Property Requirements section, as it is important that appraisers and mortgagees read the section in its entirety to understand the policy within the context of the entire section and the larger Origination through Endorsement section. Mortgagees, FHA Roster Appraisers and other stakeholders are encouraged to view FHA s self-paced, recorded Origination through Endorsement training modules. These training modules provide greater detail on FHA s Appraiser and Property Requirements policies. These modules are available at: Q37: Will the Single Family Housing Appraisal Report and Data Delivery Guide need to be updated again when FHA launches its Electronic Appraisal Delivery (EAD) portal? A37: At this time, FHA does not anticipate immediate updates to the Single Family Housing Appraisal Report and Data Delivery Guide to accommodate a future launch of its EAD portal. The guide was written for, and makes reference to, the future EAD portal, to accommodate an initial release of the EAD in the future. Q38: Do I have to submit appraisal data differently now that FHA has published its Single Family Housing Appraisal Report and Data Delivery Guide? A38: Mortgagees and appraisers should review the guide to ensure that their appraisal reporting and data delivery processes conform to the requirements in the guide before the effective date. In large part, the requirements in the guide conform to current industry use of the Uniform Appraisal Dataset, with additional FHA-specific requirements. Servicing and Loss Mitigation/TRS II Q39: What is included in the SF Handbook Servicing section? A39: The Servicing and Loss Mitigation (Servicing) section includes information in the following categories: General servicing requirements for FHA-insured mortgages; 9
10 Servicing of performing mortgages; Default servicing, including HUD s Loss Mitigation Program and conveyance standards; and Special mortgage program servicing for active and inactive programs, including: Hawaiian Homeland Mortgages, Mortgages and Mortgage Protection for Service Members, Section 235 Mortgages and Recapture, Hope for Homeowners, Good Neighbor Next Door Program, and The Nehemiah Program.

Additional SF Handbook sections on claims calculation and filing and on disposition will be posted for stakeholder feedback in the future. Q40. Does the SF Handbook Servicing section include policy changes? A40. Beyond a new format and structure, some revisions to existing policy language were made in the SF Handbook Servicing section. It is important that servicers and mortgagees read the section in its entirety to understand the policy within the context of the entire section. FHA will host an industry briefing on the Servicing and TRS II sections of the SF Handbook shortly after the publication of these sections.
