  23. Loan Process • Borrower must meet the following requirements: • Loan Officer pre-qualifies borrower for Sapphire loan and NHF income limit. • FMC Branch submits the fully processed file to Underwriting for loan approval • FMC underwrites the loan • Upon loan approval, the Branch is notified to reserve funds and lock loan • FMC close/pre-fund 1st mortgage loan • FMC includes the grant on our lenders instructions and we over wire the amount when we fund our loan which means, we no longer wait an additional 24 hours to fund a Sapphire loan.

  24. NHF’s EIN # • NHF’s EIN #: 42-1549314 • We are required to reflect NHF’s EIN on HUD’s FHA Loan Underwriting and Transmittal Summary in conjunction with secondary financing assistance, grants or gifts to the borrower when the borrower is receiving an FHA First Mortgage.

  25. NHF Reservation Portal • Borrower must meet the following requirements: • Reservations will be handled at the FMC Branch level using the Reservation Portal on the NHF website www.nhfloan.org • The Reservation Portal can be accessed Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM PST. • In order to access the Reservation Portal, a “User ID” must be used. • One user ID and Passcode will be assigned to each branch by the Vendor Support team at FMC. All prior user ID’s have been de-activated. • The Reservation Portal will identify whether a loan registration initially qualifies based on Income and Credit Score Limits information provided, and provide an electronic confirmation (Commitment Confirmation) of the registration which must be provided in the loan file.

  26. NHF Reservation Portal

  27. NHF Reservation Portal • Modifications to a reservation will require approval from the Administrator/Manager (NHF). • You may cancel the loan registration via the Reservation Portal, which will provide electronic confirmation of cancellation. NHF charges a cancellation fee of $400 for each cancelled loan. This fee if applied will be passed on to the Branch (Broker for Wholesale transactions). • If you cancel a loan, you may re-register the loan only after 30 calendar days from cancellation date via the Reservation Portal. • You automatically reserve funds for Down Payment Assistance at the time of loan registration via the Reservation Portal. • An extension to a reservation will require approval from the Administrator and will be subject to market conditions. A minimum fee of 0.375% of the loan amount will be applied to extensions. Fees may be higher depending on market conditions.

  28. Lock Period • Reservation Period: 30 days • FMC requires reservations to be done at time of Docs (after loan approval) • Cancellations may require a $400 fee • Cancellations require a waiting period of 30 days before re-reserving • Lock Period: 30 days • A copy of the reservation confirmation must be forwarded to the Doc Department with the Doc Order Request

  29. Program Additional Documents • The following forms are required in all Sapphire loan files: • Commitment Confirmation • NHF Gift Letter • NHF has implemented a new Grant/Gift Letter that now requires the borrower(s) signature.  This new letter is printed out with your reservation once funds are reserved and must be signed by the borrower(s) before they request the grant. • Grant amount must be rounded to the highest dollar. • Make sure the loan approval and the LT reflects the exact loan amount rounded to the highest dollar to avoid delays in docs/funding.
