Most Frequent Loan Purchase Suspense Trends

This month's most frequent loan purchase suspense trends seen are:
  • Title commitment is missing necessary ALTA endorsements for condo, PUD, or environmental or is missing the chain of title requirements for FHA/conventional loans
  • Notes are being endorsed in Blank, which requires a letter of authorization to void incomplete endorsement and an allonge to fix
  • The Underwriter's calculation for qualifying income is missing from the 92900LT, 1008, and is not submitted by separate income calculation worksheet
  • MERS Min Summary includes non-borrower spouses as co-borrower, which is incorrect
  • Missing evidence of the Home Loan Tool Kit provided to borrowers
