Section 500 Loan Products 500.09 Appraisal Requirements [Rev 11/25/09] LAKE MICHIGAN FINCIAL will purchase loans only from Correspondents that adopt the Home Valuation Code of Conduct ( Code ). The Correspondent must represent and warrant that the appraisal report is obtained in a manner consistent with the Code. For those Correspondents that purchase loans from a third-party originator, the Correspondent must represent and warrant that appraisals were obtained in accordance to the Code. Correspondent clients are required to provide certain representation and warranties related to the appraisal, including representations and warranties on the value, condition and marketability of the subject property. See Section 300 Collateral Requirements of the Correspondent Lending Guide for details. All appraisal reports should be provided in a clear, legible and preferably electronic (PDF file type) format. In addition, photographs of the subject and comparable properties must be clear and in color format. Conforming Fixed, Balloon & ARMs Per Agency and automated underwriting / DU or LP guidelines.

AVMs & Market Value Due-Diligence [Rev 3/28/08] To review property values for loans submitted for purchase, LAKE MICHIGAN FINCIAL typically obtains an automated valuation model (AVM) from third-party vendors, such as FraudGuard, Dissco and CoreLogic. In cases where there is a material difference in value as compared to the property appraisal, a subsequent field review appraisal will be required prior to loan purchase. Correspondents are responsible for the field review cost, which typically range between $250 - $350. This cost will be applied at loan funding, or sent via invoice for non-purchased loans. Important: LAKE MICHIGAN FINCIAL strongly encourages Correspondents to utilize one of these third-party vendors to assist in the analysis of the value prior to submitting loans for purchase. This will avoid unnecessary delays during the funding process. Lake Michigan Financial Group, Inc. Correspondent Lending Guide (11/09) Section 500 - Loan Products.doc 5
