Ability To Repay

The ATR Rule requires that you make a reasonable, good-faith determination before or when you consummate a mortgage loan that the consumer has a reasonable ability to repay the loan, considering such factors as the consumer’s income or assets and employment status (if relied on) against: ◦ The mortgage loan payment ◦ Ongoing expenses related to the mortgage loan or the

property that secures it, such as property taxes and insurance required for the consumer to buy

◦ Payments on simultaneous loans that are secured by the same property

◦ Other debt obligations, alimony, and child support payments

The rule also requires you to consider and verify the consumer’s credit history.

Ability To Repay

A reasonable, good-faith ATR evaluation must include the following eight ATR underwriting factors:

1. Current or reasonably expected income or assets (other than the value of the property that secures the loan) that the consumer will rely on to repay the loan

2. Current employment status (if you rely on employment income when assessing the consumer’s ability to repay

3. Monthly mortgage payment for this loan. You calculate this using the introductory or fully-indexed rate, whichever is higher, and monthly, fully-amortizing payments that are substantially equal

4. Monthly payment on any simultaneous loans secured by the same property

5. Monthly payments for property taxes and insurance that the consumer is required to buy, and certain other costs related to the property such as homeowners association fees

6. Debts, alimony, and child support obligations 7. Monthly debt-to-income ratio or residual income, that you calculated

using the total of all the mortgage and non-mortgage obligations listed above, as a ratio of gross monthly income

8. Credit history

Underwriting Requirements

◦ The underwriter is responsible for ensuring the loan is in compliance with the 8 underwriting factors associated with ATR, and will not approve any loans based on *stated income.

*Non-credit and income qualifying streamlines are exempt from meeting ATR requirements, and are still defined as a Qualified Mortgage, providing all Agency guidelines are met.

◦ The borrower’s Ability to Repay must be documented on every

loan.

Documenting the ATR

◦ All income calculation worksheets must be completed and clearly indicate the income used for qualifying.

◦ Complete the “Income and Debt Analysis worksheet” generated thru Mortgage Builder. This worksheet will demonstrate the underwriter’s analysis in determining the borrower’s ability to repay.

◦ The Final findings, income calculation worksheets and income/debt analysis must all be consistent and representative of the income and debts used to qualify.

Disclosures
