CBC Mortgage Agency after closing.
• 2nds are required to be registered with
MERS.
• You will need to provide a MIN number for
the 2nd mortgage deed and note.
• There does need to be a specific,
separate MIN number on the second,
different from the first.
Closing and MERS

5. • Industry Guidelines require secondary
financing to be in the name of a
government agency prior to insuring.
• The second mortgage must be transferred
to CBCMA as soon as the file has been
closed.
• All second mortgage MINs must be
registered with MERS within 72 hours of
the first mortgage loan purchase. The
MERS transfer must be initiated within 48
hours to ensure this is possible.
• The first mortgage is not insurable if:
• You request an MIC before you have a
secondary financing MERS transfer to
CBCMA
OR
• You request a MIC before you have an
executed assignment of the second
mortgage to CBCMA

2nd Lien Documentation Requirements
*Must meet TRID timing & delivery requirements

7. • Ensure that the following commonly missed files
are uploaded (to avoid added conditions)
• Tri-merge/three bureau, soft-pull credit refresh,
dated within 10 calendar days of the disbursement
date or evidence of enrollment in a credit monitoring
service through this time period
• Appraisal logging
• 1st Mortgage URLA – page 5, section 4b,
“Subordinate Lien” should be bubbled and the
section completed with “CBCMA” as the creditor
• 2nd Mortgage URLA – must be signed and dated
within 3 days of choosing program. Make sure your
LOS system does not automatically pick up date
from the 1st lien. Loan will then be out of compliance
with TRID
• 92900-LT/1008 – Secondary financing govt. box
should be checked. The source should read
CBCMA 46-2780476 (never Chenoa or Chenoa
Fund)
• 92800-5B – On page 3, the expiration date should
be 120 days from the commitment issued and
should match the 92900-A/Addendum
• FHA Amendatory Clause signed by all parties
Commonly Missed Documents – Credit Package
• Continued:
• 92900-A/Addendum – Page 4 needs to be signed
by the lender; page 3 needs the expiration date
(and the underwriter’s signature), which should
match the 92800-5b
• All signed Loan Estimates and Closing Disclosures
and/or Disclosure tracking to evidence delivery of
disclosures (seller’s CD doesn’t need to be signed)

8. • Ensure that the following commonly missed
files are uploaded (to avoid added conditions)
• MRI Funding Obligation Letter
• First Note and Deed of Trust/Mortgage
• Second Note and Deed of Trust/Mortgage
• LE 2nd lien – 2nd lien follows TRID guidelines
just like first. It must be issued within 3 days of
second lien URLA
• Closing Disclosures – Never use the word
“Chenoa.” It must read “CBCMA.” This
happens a lot on the first lien when listing the
DPA funds.
• FHA Settlement Cert – Contract date needs to
be included. Your LOS will not auto populate
this for you.
• An executed copy of the assignment of a
second Deed of Trust/Mortgage or evidence
of a second Deed of Trust/Mortgage MIN
transfer in MERS
Commonly Missed Documents – Closing Package

9. Admin Fee Clarifications
• $399 Admin Fee on first mortgage
• Charged to the correspondent
• Reflected on the PA as a deduction from total loan
sale proceeds
• No lender fees on secondary financing
• Additions to the lender fees to offset the Admin
Fee:
• NEVER reflect as a charge payable to CBCMA
• List fee must always be listed in Section A, in
Origination Charges or as a separate line item
Admin charge
• If passed to the borrower, this fee is subject to the
QM 3% points & fees test.

10. • No lender fees should be charged on
the second.
• The only fees allowed to be charged on
the second:
• Prepaid interest
• Recording fees for the Deed of Trust
• Reasonable settlement fees
• A courier fee to return the signed
documents to the lender
• At no time will CBCMA purchase a loan
that exceeds the QM 3% points and
fees test.
Displaying 2nd Lien Loan Fees on the 2nd CD

11. • Review the Buckley Sandler memo on
converting points and fees between
borrower and seller:
https://chenoafund.org/lender/cbc-
documents-and-tools/
• Converting seller credits can pay this fee if
the following is done before closing:
• Borrower has signed an addendum to the
note (found at the above link)
• The fee is itemized in the seller’s column on
the CD
• This allows the charges to not be counted
for the 3% points and fees rule.
Rate Sheet Clarification
• CBCMA:
• Offers one rate for each product and its
FICO band
• Does not charge discount points
• Cannot, in the current market, offer the
alternative par rate necessary for discount
points to be bona fide
• Our rate sheets refer to fees from specific
FICO bands as “Fee Paid by Lender.”
• Any fees paid by the lender to CBCMA are
a reduction in the YSP/SRP.
• If this fee is passed on to the borrower, the
QM 3% points and fees rule applies.
• Fees from corporate margins (from lower
rates) belong in section A of the CD, “points
and fees.”

12. Maximum Origination Fee
• CBCMA will allow a maximum origination
fee of 1.5%.
• Additionally, the lender may charge for any
CBCMA loan level pricing adjustments
(LLPAs).
• Lenders will be required to refund
borrowers for any origination fees (including
non-bona-fide discount points) exceeding
1.5% plus CBCMA LLPAs.
• Reasonable lender underwriting,
administrative, or program fees are not
considered in this calculation; however,
they are considered in the QM 3% points
and fees test.

13. Follow FHA 4000.1 for guidance.
Overtime, Bonus, or Tip Income refers to income that the Borrower
receives in addition to the Borrower’s normal salary.
The Mortgagee may use Overtime, Bonus or Tip Income as
Effective Income if the Borrower has received this income for the
past two years and it is reasonably likely to continue.
Periods of Overtime, Bonus or Tip Income less than two years may
be considered Effective Income if the Mortgagee documents that
the Overtime, Bonus or Tip Income has been consistently earned
over a period of not less than one year and is reasonably likely to
continue.
For employees with Overtime, Bonus or Tip Income, the Mortgagee
must calculate the Effective Income by using the lesser of:
• The average Overtime, Bonus or Tip Income earned over the
previous two years or, if less than two years, the length of time
Overtime, Bonus or Tip Income has been earned; or
• The average Overtime, Bonus or Tip Income earned over the
previous year.
Overtime and Bonus Income Calculation

14. The DPA must be listed as “CBC Mortgage Agency 2nd Lien” or “CBCMA
2nd Lien” between sections L.04 and L.07.

15. • If you take out the net proceeds from
the second lien, make sure you put the
principal balance in parentheses on the
CD for the first mortgage.
• Top screenshot (example): Principal
balance without net proceeds taken
out.
