New Secondary Market Underwriting Guidelines
ByA friend sent me this today, and though it’s probably more meaningful to loan officers and others in the mortgage biz, I thought some people might still get a kick out of it…
New Secondary Market Underwriting Guidelines
1. All borrowers’ birth certificates will be required with pictures taken in the hospital with medical staff. Birth certificate with a live home delivery will not be eligible for first time home buyers.
2. Marriage certificate with bridal dress will be required if both husband and wife are required to qualify for the loan.
3. GFE will not require signature, but will require blood sampling from a recognized institution within three days of application.
4. DNA test will be performed at closing to avoid any non-arms length transactions. Loan funding will be contingent upon satisfactory receipt of DNA results.
5. Verification of deposit will be acceptable only if Bank representative is present at the closing.
6. Copy of Pay stubs and W2 will only be acceptable through IRS and only with a wax-sealed envelope mailed directly to the lender.
7. Seven witnesses from the neighborhood will be required as proof of primary residence in case borrower owns more than 1 property.
8. All appraisers will be required to use masks and ear plugs at the time of inspection to avoid any personal influence by the borrower or broker for the appraised value.

11. Loan officer picture will be attached to the Deed and note and will be made available for general public and security agencies in case borrower defaults on the loan The loan approval will have to be signed by the Secretary of the Treasury.


Hopefully this new mortage reduction program helps get the housing going forward again.
it will be interesting to see how many banks sign on to it. Like everything else, if they don’t participate, it’s just another nice sounding idea.
Very good site. Thanks!,
The layout for your site is a bit off in Chrome. Nevertheless I like your blog. I may have to install a “normal” browser just to enjoy it.
I know what you mean, although I don’t use chrome. I believe Firefox is the most “reliable” way to view from what I’ve seen. Explorer can be a little testy sometimes.
