LATEST FROM FHA ON UNACCEPTABLE ASSETS |
As discussed last week in our email, HUD announced a significant change in the calculation of net worth. This change classified any real estate as an unacceptable asset. However, there is an exception. Real estate owned and used as the home office of the lender IS NOT considered unacceptable. The actual language from the HUD Audit Guide is included below.
Today, FHA notified lenders of this change. The notice stated:
Unfortunately, these notices are somewhat confusing. The language above appears to exclude all real estate assets. According to the HUD Audit Guide, real estate assets used for the home office are NOT required to be counted as unacceptable. Therefore, if a lender's real estate is related to the home office, it is not unacceptable, and there is no need for a Notice of Material Event related to this change.
If lenders do have real estate that is considered unacceptable under this new definition, they should evaluate their net worth compliance as of this date, and if necessary, file the required Notice of Material event outlined by FHA above. We have also inquired as to applicability of this requirement on real estate used for branch offices. Until further clarification, lenders should consider those assets as unacceptable. |
