Quantifying the Impact of Dodd-Frank & QM

Jason Roth, SVP & Co-founderComplianceEase

• Our Dodd-Frank impact study - background– New rules are clear, eventual impact is not– Lack of real data available– Goal: Confirm areas of highest impact

• Methodology– Analyze trends in loan fees / rates– Construct “model” of current lending– Subject current lending to new rules

• Results: QM– No safe harbor for more than 1 in 5 loans– More than half due to fees over 3% threshold– Over threshold by average of $1,500– Rest due to high APRs (QM without safe harbor)

• Results: High-cost mortgage– Nearly 3% of loans would be “high-cost”– Nearly always due to fees– Overages on average more than $1,000

• What stands out?– Confirms fees are the biggest risk to safe harbor– Estimated overages are not trivial– Market will need to shift

• Where might we see changes?– Private mortgage insurance– Use of discount points / higher rates– Scrutiny of small fee variations

• Substantial Government role in mortgage markets and GSEs/FHA have temporary and permanent exemptions for underwriting. QM – GSE temporary exemption for seven years or until broader reform; FHA – QM alternative definition.

• QRM Rulemaking is still outstanding – proposed as broadest definition that aligns with the CFPB QM definition

– Could cause increased pricing issues as it is difficult to distinguish between QM “safe harbor” v. rebuttable presumption of non-QM. Costs of non-QM (rebuttable presumption) and proposed non-QRM capital requirements may be different, but priced directionally the same.

– The proposed alternative (QM Plus) overlays a 30% down payment and other credit factors that would significantly narrow the number of loans falling under QRM. Proposed for comment for feedback as an alternative.

– Currently there is no ability to co-mingle pools of QRM/QM – this has received a number of comments

• Government Share v. Private Label Securitization– G-fees increased twice by 10bps each time in 2012. DeMarco recently announced FHFA was committed to increase in the

“near term.” Conforming loan limits are traditionally reviewed by FHFA in November. DeMarco has publicly stated there will be at least a 6 month implementation timeline

– Have all of the Rep and Warrant issues been adequately addressed? Is the private label securitization plumbing ready? – What is the current incentive to do anything beyond balance sheet and Government channel (FHA/VA/GSEs/USDA)?

• What is the quantifiable litigations risk of QM v. Non-QM?– What impact will state consumer protection overlays have?

• There are a lot of other things going on– TILA – RESPA and E-Closing; HMDA; Rep and Warrant Risk; Forced Placed Insurance; GSE Reform (?)

Final Considerations Beyond QM

Data DisclosureThe Database: Data pulled from CoreLogic Loan Level Mortgage Analytics (LLMA) contributed servicing data. The dataset covers 85 percent of the Prime market and 71 percent of the SubPrime (including active). For the sake of these analysis’ “Overall Loan Count” for 2012 is defined as approximately 1.8 mm loans. Loans with missing parameters, such as Debt to Income (DTI), FICO

and Loan-to-Value (LTV) were removed from the sample. Roughly 50 percent has been removed, but analysis was done to ensure that the data was not skewed by removals (proportion of refinances; high LTV loans; low FICO; etc.)

Considerations & Assumptions: QM analysis is done for the ‘General QM’ definition and does not take into consideration any of the exemptions. The analysis does not account for the three percent points and fees threshold. CoreLogic has provided multiple

cuts to allow for analysis with or without refinance programs that do not require full documentation and will fall beyond the bounds of QM upon the effective date. The user can determine what percentage of the no to low doc refinances would be approved when documentation is required in the post-QM world. Also, some of these programs are temporary refinance

programs and this should be taken into consideration when assessing a future normalized market. HARP is scheduled to expire on Dec. 31, 2015.

Data provided on slide two includes owner occupied and non-owner occupied. Universe includes all channels of origination (Balance Sheet, PLS, GSE, VA, FHA, USDA).

The data series comes from Jan. 2012 to Dec. 2012. Readers should account for the underwriting standards and size of the credit box post-2008.

Top Five Issues Presented by the QM Final Rule and Some Solutions to Consider

Scott D. Samlin, PartnerAlston & Bird LLP

• Do you need to prove the borrower’s ability to repay (“ATR”) on all loans and not just QM/ATR?– See attached Underwriting Factors comparison

chart

• Are jumbo loans able to be submitted to Fannie Mae’s Desktop Underwriter (“DU”) or Freddie Mac’s Loan Prospector (“LP”) and approved?– If so, will such loans fall within the QM GSE

exemption even though they cannot be purchased by the GSE’s due to the loan amount?

– FN 50 in the July 24 FR Release

• Residual Income – when is it germane and how do you calculate?

• VA Underwriting Guidelines are considered by many to be the best widely available residual income tool already in use – but as the CFPB admits, outdated and very limited. – New York example: $800 per month delineated;

same amount for Manhattan as Buffalo .

• QM documentation – what will investors and other secondary market participants require?– Reps and Warrants– Rating Agency Credit Enhancement– Third Party Insurance or Certification– GSE Approval– Borrower Affidavit– Fannie Mae 1003 (Uniform Loan Application) Addendum– Preclose Scripting

• Points and Fees Issues– Will interest rates rise due to the 3% fee cap; will

lenders be concerned about making HPMLs?

• Fair Lending Issues– Unequivocal Interagency Guidance?– “Do not anticipate” . . . “Absent other factors” – No HUD participation – Fair Housing Act– All QM “may” be a legitimate business need -

existing business model already all QM?
