A property is valued at $850,000. There is a first and a second mortgage with a CLTV of 85%. The second mortgage’s LTV is 22%. What is the balance of the first mortgage?
Answer: c) Both mortgages together constitute a CLTV of 85% ($722,500). If the second mortgage’s LTV is 22%, the first mortgage’s LTV has to be 63% (85 – 22 = 63). When you multiply $850,000 by 63%, the result is $535,500.

Bo Buyer has 9% to put down. He wishes to avoid PMI by pursuing piggyback financing. The scenario for which he decided is:

Helena is a 30-year old mansion buyer. In order to close on the purchase of her new estate, she will need to bring $657,500 to the settlement table. Her only asset from which she intends to secure this money is her IRA account bearing a face value of $755,000. Assuming that all other underwriting conditions have been satisfied, will Helena be able to close on her loan?
Answer: d) Investor criteria maintains that, if a borrower intends to use retirement funds as a source of settlement funds and is younger than 59 ½ (the typical age of retirement), unless the amount contained in any one specific retirement account equates to or exceeds 20% of the total amount of cash needed to close, the value of each retirement account must be considered at 70% of its face value. Since Helena is younger than 59 ½ and, since the face value of her retirement account is less than 20% above the total amount of money needed to settle, the value of her retirement account may only be considered $528,500 (755,000 x 70%). Helena will need to document an additional $129,000 in order to close.

A borrower purchased a home for $150,000 and their LTV will be 80%. They paid $2,400 in discount points. How many points did they pay?
Answer: d) If the purchase price is $150,000, the loan amount, at 80% LTV, would be $120,000. Points are calculated based on the loan amount and the borrowers paid $2,400 for them. Since one point on this loan amount equates to $1,200 (.01 x 120,000) and the borrowers spent $2,400, the $2,400 equates to 2 points (2,400 /1,200).

A buyer purchases a home for which the seller pledges to fund a 2-1 buydown. The buyer’s note rate results in a payment of $3,600. If the 2-1 buydown would have the buyer remitting a P&I payment of $3,225 for year one and $3,321 for year two, how much did the 2-1 buydown cost the seller?
