This loan product applies to more of you than I thought so I wanted to get this information out to you quickly.

HOMEPATH Mortgage – FANNIE MAE FORECLOSURE PROPERTIES ONLY!
Loan Score
| • | 660 required for LTV greater than 80% |
| • | 620 required for LTV less than or equal to 80% |
Documentation
Full documentation is required.
Documenting Rental Income from Subject Property
Because no appraisal will be obtained by Wells Fargo Funding on HomePath Loans, a fully executed lease agreement is required in order to use rental income to qualify. If no lease is available, the borrower is to provide an estimated rental income for Loan delivery purposes only.
Interested Party Contributions
The maximum allowable contributions from interested parties based upon the contract sales price are:
| Property Type | CLTV | Limit |
| Primary Residence and Second Home | > 75% | 6% |
| < 75% | 9% | |
| Investment Property | All CLTVs | 2% |
Minimum Down Payment Requirements
Minimum down payment requirements apply as detailed in Section 820.08, with the following requirements:
| • | For loans with LTV/CLTV from 80.01-95%, the occupant borrower must provide 5% of purchase price as a down payment. |
| • | For loans with LTV/CLTV > 95% there is no minimum contribution requirement from the borrower’s own funds. |
Eligible Source of Down Payment for Loans with LTV/CLTV Greater Than 95%
In addition to the eligible sources of down payment as detailed in Section 820.08, the following sources are also eligible when LTV/CLTV exceeds 95%:
| • | Gift funds from acceptable donors. |
| • | Grants from a borrower’s employer, public agency, or nonprofit organization, provided no repayment is required or expected. |
In all circumstances described above, evidence of the transfer of the funds to the borrower is required.
Appraisal
No appraisal is required.
If the borrower, at their option, chooses to obtain an appraisal, then:
| • | The borrower must order the appraisal from an appraiser selected by the borrower (and not one recommended by Seller and/or originating lender), and the appraisal must be paid for by the borrower outside of the loan transaction. |
| • | Seller and/or originating lender must not request a copy of the appraisal. If one is provided by the borrower then the loan cannot use the HomePath program. |
Condominium Transactions*** This is HUGE!!!
Condominium projects do not need to be reviewed for project eligibility; however standard insurance validation for adequate hazard, flood, disability, and fidelity coverage must be completed.
