In September 2016 Fannie Mae, only on their conventional loan products are subject to the new Trended Credit system where the conventional loan underwriter can review the WAY you pay your credit. Do you only pay the minimum payments each month on your credit cards or do you pay almost all of the balance of the credit card each month? Fannie Mae likes the person making much more than the minimum payment on credit cards each month. Fannie Mae’s trended credit does NOT like person who only pays the minimum payment on the credit cards and continues to add to their debt.
Terri Murphy is in the studio with us today. Terri is a national speaker, author, real estate consultant and communication specialist holding many designations. Terri sold over 100 homes per year in Chicago for 28 years and now offers her services as a consultant to help realtors around the count. She is Murphy on Real Estate. Terri, it is great having you in the studio again. Tell our listeners a little more about yourself and what you do. <Terri talks about herself and what she does>
<Terri then introduces Dan Sater>
<Dan introduces himself and talk about what he does.>
(Special note in case Jo or Terri want to mention any of these facts about Dan during his introduction(Some facts about Dan Sater—author of the book The Top 20 Toxic Credit Mistakes People Make, Nationally Recognized Credit Expert, Author, Speaker, Educator and Credit Coach for the Credit Repair Industry, Former Licensed Real Estate Agent, Former License Mortgage Loan Originator – New York State 17 years, Owner of Credit Scoring Advisor – National Credit Restoration Company since 2007- some bragging rights for Dan.

(Jo talks here) It’s definitely a new day and a different way the mortgage market has been reacting this week. Mortgage rates have inched back up to 4 month highs, but they’re still great. The 30 yr conventional fixed rate ended the day yesterday at around 3.625%- 3.75% with no points in most cases. The conventional 15 year rates ended yesterday about 3% to 3.25% with the government FHA loan, the Veteran Loan, the 100% Rural Housing loans with rates close to the conventional rates. I am getting calls from customers who want to get approved on a mortgage to buy a house, or two or even three houses. Susan, my expert assistant and I have been getting jumbo loans approved too—loan amounts over $417k. We are working with doctors on the 100% doctor mortgage for physicians. Some of our clients need down payment assistance. A few of our callers are using the low-interest-rate opportunity to refinance and take their ex-spouse off the loan. Another client is refinancing and buying out his siblings on an estate situation. Whatever your scenario, call me personally and let me work the numbers for you. You can call me after this show directly at (901) 482-0354 (901) 482-0354 or email me at jo@192.232.195.219 or call us in the studio right now while we are live. LET’S MAKE YOUR PLAN, WORK YOUR PLAN. IF THE DEAL WORKS FOR YOU TODAY, LET’S DO IT TODAY.
<Terri adds some informational content]. >
(Jo) Our topic today reminds me of a story. We’re talking about these new real estate lending guidelines changing the way we get from loan application to the closing table where we get our cash or our house. Buying a house is one of the most important life accomplishments, and we’re usually on a tight time clock to get through the process. A few years ago I bought a computer online. Windows 8 had come out and I heard it was REALLY different than the Windows 7 operating system I was accustomed too, so, wanting to keep things simple so I could use the computer the way I also had, I insisted on my new laptop coming with the old Windows 7 system. You don’t always get what you want in life. When my new laptop arrived, I tore into it and planned to get some work projects finished on it that very day. WRONG! The computer had Windows 8—an entirely new way of operating a computer. I could not even find how to open my programs. Talk about exasperated! Later I snagged one of my computer guru friends and, with his short tutorial on How To Use Windows 8, I was in business again. (If you don’t’ have a computer expert, just pay an 12 year old. They can fix any computer!)
If you are going through the mortgage process, make sure you have an expert loan originator with you, and a realtor that has a track record of getting their clients safely and quickly through the mortgage process under the new rules. We will talk later in this show about what is TRID guidelines and 3 important steps you need to take to have a smooth real estate closing today.
(Terri makes comments about the research indicating rents probably will go up in 2017 along with mortgage rates)
(Jo) Our general topic today is TRID, TRENDED CREDIT…IT’S A NEW DAY & A NEW WAY TO GET APPROVED FOR YOUR MORTGAGE. Let’s jump into some great tips on how to avoid costly mistakes on your credit. Owner of Credit Scoring Advisors and author of the book The Top 20 Toxic Credit Mistakes (the secrets from a credit industry insider,) Dan Sater, how can we avoid these credit mistakes? <Dan Sater launches his topic >

QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY DAN SATER:
Credit Mistakes Homebuyers Make When Purchasing a New Home…that can get your Loan Application Denied!
- Not Pulling & Reviewing your Credit Report
- Check for Credit Mistakes
- Check for Accounts that are not Yours – “Mixed Files”
- Look for Identity Theft
- Making Large Purchases during the Mortgage Process
- This will increase your credit usage and lower your credit scores and may stop you from being approved.
- Applying for New Credit
- You can lose points lowering your scores
- Not Paying Down Credit Card Balances BEFORE starting the Mortgage Process
- Many Mortgage Companies won’t give you credit after you start the process…Doing this will increase your scores
- Thinking Paying Off Charge Offs and Collections will take it off Their Credit Report, or Increase Their Credit Scores.
- Your score won’t change, and it will stay on the report for up to 7 years
- Closing Credit Card Accounts Thinking it will Help them to be Approved for a Mortgage
- You increase the ratio of your debt to credit limits which lowers your credit scores.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY TERRI MURPHY:
- Part of the services of a smart and savvy agent is to get a pre-approval with a loan professional to look at the best options for financing, head off any problems before writing a purchase
- Same with sellers: Get an appt with Loan Officer
- Discovering TRID issues BEFORE the marketing process (ie. CLUE reports, Well & Septic reports, RADON, etc)
- Terri, how do realtors sign up for training with you?
_____________________________________________________________________________________
QUESTIONS ANSWERED BY JO GARNER:
- What are the TRID real estate lending guidelines and how do they affect me?
- One of the first questions I hear people ask is What is this new lending regulation all about? Truth in Lending Integrated Disclosure ‘Know Before You Owe’ rule was put in place by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to make sure that borrowers get to review the official terms on their loan with a mandated wait time in place to give them more time to review it so they truly Know Before They sign the closing papers and Owe on the mortgage. The consumer should get to see their initial loan application disclosures 3 days after they do the official loan application with the property address confirmed. Once the loan is approved and the final numbers needed for closing are disclosed to the borrower–instead of closing the same day or the next day after getting the amount needed to bring to closing, the borrower now is required to wait an additional 3 business days before closing which is really more like 7 days if the paperwork is delivered via regular postal system instead of electronically using email.
- The advantage to this regulation for homebuyers is that they can get more firm numbers if they want to shop lenders and they have a lot more time to review the paperwork than before.
- The disadvantage to homebuyers AND sellers is that there are mandatory wait periods built into the process that can cause delays if borrowers are slow delivering their paperwork or if, for instance, buyer or seller stalls the process due to required repairs from the appraiser.
- The solutions to prevent as many delays as possible is to use email to get documents back and forth to the lender instead of snail mail. Get your supporting documents to the lender as soon as they require them and do not wait a week—try to have them to the lender within 24 hours when asked for them.
- What are the top 3 things you recommend your mortgage clients to do in order to prepare for the a smooth real estate mortgage process under the new TRID guidelines that went into effect last October 3rd, 2015?
- The solutions to prevent as many delays as possible is to use email to get documents back and forth to the lender instead of snail mail. If you don’t have an email address to e-sign your loan documents and disclosures, get a free one online and use a trusted family member’s computer to e-sign your documents.
- Get your supporting documents to the lender as soon as they require them and do not wait a week—try to have them to the lender within 24 hours when asked for them.
- Determine if any repairs will be required on the subject property as soon as possible. The sooner the seller completes the repairs, the sooner the lender gets back a completed appraisal package and can send your loan to the underwriter for approval. Obviously, the faster the loan is approved the faster you get too close.

Jo describes her job description: “As a mortgage loan officer, my job is to give my client the benefits they want from their financing terms– listening to my client and determine what’s of the most value to THEM– What is their comfort level on a house payment, how much are they comfortable paying down, what type of financing do they need to get the house they want to buy or refinance. Different clients have different priorities in life—some are buying their first home with very little down payment funds. Some are recovering from medical challenges, divorces or preparing to send children to college and some are embarking on a long term goal of buying properties to build rental income. Whatever their personal priorities are, my job is to put together a mortgage with comfortable terms that will help them achieve their goals.”
