VMG will submit to UCDP prior to asking for any revisions to the report

VMG h b l i l i l d f ili VMG has been clearing messages, so our panel is already familiar with the process

Originally the GSEs graded based on submissions but now they are only concerned with the last submissionare only concerned with the last submission

CU FormsCU Forms While nothing will change regarding which forms are

required to be UAD and uploaded, only the 1004 and 1073 forms uploaded to the UCDP in UAD format will be analyzed for Risk. CU is able to score approximately 97% of appraisals submitted

nationwide by using geocode. Fannie recognizes that in rural areas it may be necessary to

select sales from a greater distance and/or from older dates –CU ill t id hi h i k l l b d f thCU will not provide a high risk score solely based on further distance, older dates and higher adjustments.

Appraisals will be analyzed on resubmission, but depending on the revision the risk score flags and messages may or may notthe revision the risk score, flags and messages may or may not change.

Fannie is looking for substantial material differences; they have tolerances built intolerances built in.

CU & UAD FieldsCU & UAD Fields Currently, CU does not analyze all fields but will use the

data below from subject and comps: Sales price Lot size Above‐grade bathroom count Above‐grade bedroom count Age Below‐grade area Finished basement area Location Location rating View View rating Quality Condition GLA Total bedroom count Total bathroom count Total living area

CU & AppraisersCU & Appraisers Appraisers need to understand how the model works Fannie Mae has several recorded webinars, FAQs and a , Q

dedicated webpage Appraisers will not have access to CU. VMG will have

access to the SSRs that will provide the risk score riskaccess to the SSRs that will provide the risk score, risk flags and messages, but only Lenders will have access to detailed information and sales map in the web-based CU application

Documentation is key If an Appraiser considered a sale and did not use it for a comp If an Appraiser considered a sale and did not use it for a comp,

most likely the model will recognize that sale, as well. VMG suggests that Appraisers go ahead and document it, so if it does come back Appraisers will not have to readdressdoes come back, Appraisers will not have to readdress

CU TipsCU Tips Consistency is key Adjustments will be compared to self and peers Adjustments will be compared to self and peers

If not supported be ready for questions If you are not using a comps database, start now

Double check for Typos Don’t take it personally Fannie had only been reviewing the loans after they were

closed, which could be attributed to the mortgage crisis in the late 2000s. By being proactive more issues can be y g pidentified upfront.

Fannie’s goal is not to create more work for the Appraiser, but for Lenders to be able to ask more informed questionsbut for Lenders to be able to ask more informed questions

CU RiskCU Risk CU is a risk too; it is not an issuance for an approval

or denial. CU is not a sole decision factor foror denial. CU is not a sole decision factor for purchase.

High risk appraisals may have a greater opportunity to be pulled for post-processing audits.

Fannie Mae will continue to purchase loans dl f i kregardless of risk score.

Lenders are still responsible for due diligence and should continue to adhere to their review policiesshould continue to adhere to their review policies.

CU does not provide an estimate of value.
