·          Mortgage History:  0 x 30 in the last 12 months.  Any lates in the last 60…TBD.
·          BK seasoning:  48 months since discharge.  Multiple BKs in the last 84 months are not allowed.

·          Appraisal requirements:  per Fannie.  This would allow the “Property Field Work Waiver” which is similar to a PIW.  There is a $75 fee and DU will determine when this is allowed.  We may have to consider eliminating this option in certain markets, but that is TBD.

·          Property Restrictions:  no properties listed in the last 6 months.
·          Mortgage Insurance:  As of today, we will only be offering DU Refi Plus to borrowers that do not currently have MI on their loans.  This includes loans that were at 80% or below or loans that were closed with no MI or the MI policy has been canceled.
