underwriter/lender must verify the date is after the funding date.

verify a per diem amount is listed. The per diem should be applied to the payoff amount to

unless otherwise specified in the payoff letter.
A payoff is considered expired when:
• The document instructs the associate to void after a specified date; or
• The interest accrued amount on the statement signals the borrower will be past-due
when the new loan funds;
o The borrower must make a mortgage payment prior to closing to avoid a late
payment on the credit; and

payoff demand must reflect that a payment has been made.

There are 4 acceptable types of power of attorney. The following persons may sign security
instruments on a borrower’s behalf:
• Attorney-in-fact - he/she may sign the security instruments as long as NPF obtains a
copy of the POA. In some jurisdictions the POA must be recorded with the security
instrument; in this case, NPF must confirm the document has been recorded. The person
acting as the attorney-in-fact must have a familial, personal or fiduciary relationship
with the borrower and can’t have any type of financial interest in the transaction or be
involved in the transaction in any capacity such as the closing agent / attorney, broker or
realtor;
• Specific - this type of POA is specific to the mortgage transaction; therefore the POA
must specify the legal description, property address, and transaction type within the
body of the document. It must be recorded at closing;
• Durable - traditionally a POA becomes ineffective upon the disability of the principal but
the POA must remain valid even if the borrower becomes incapacitated or disabled prior
to closing. In order for the POA to be acceptable it must contain the following language
‘This POA shall not terminate on the disability of the principal’ or ‘This POA is not
affected by the subsequent disability of incapacity of the borrower’;
• General Military - this type of POA is generally used in situations where a borrower or
his/her spouse may be deployed or is on active duty.
All loan files wishing to utilize a power of attorney require the following:
• A Letter of Explanation from the borrower advising why the loan is closing with a POA
• Completed and Signed POA Form

Short-Term Rentals:
A Short Term Rental (generally a rental period less than 30 days) doesn’t disqualify a project

following sources are acceptable:
• Rental Agency

• Projects that include registration services, registration desks and offer rentals of any
units on a daily basis
• Timeshares or segmented ownership
• Projects where units are advertised for short term rentals or registration can be

condo review team will submit the project through CVAS for an exception review. The cost
for each review is $200 regardless of the outcome and the process takes approx. 48-72 hours
to complete.
4.3 Hobby Farms
The appraisal report, condo questionnaire or sales contract may identify characteristics that
would make the project ineligible. These items do not definitively determine the condo is a
condo hotel; however it provides evidence that would require additional research. These
characteristics are red flags and warrant further investigation but are not limited to:
• Central telephone system
• Room Service
• Units that don’t contain full-sized kitchen appliances
• Daily Cleaning Services
• Advertising of rental rates
• Registration Services
• Restrictions on interior decorating

New Penn will accept properties that may have an additional use as a “hobby farm”.
Examples of this would be a semi-rural or rural property, residential in nature, where some
of the acreage is used to grow grapes, have a small orchard, or a small barn and riding rings,
etc. The requirements for the property to be considered are:
•
•
•
Hobby Farms
•
•
•
•
•
•
Property must be residential in nature, and an owner occupied SFR only
Appraiser must state property’s highest and best use is as Residential and supply photos
of the non-residential use
Property must be appraised as residential real estate, with commercial/agricultural
value not included in the appraiser’s market value; appraiser must comment on any
affect the commercial/agricultural use has on marketability and compatibility with the
subject’s neighborhood; the market value of the property is primarily a function of its
residential characteristics rather than of the business use
Agricultural use should generally not exceed 20% of the total acreage
Minimal outbuildings, such as small barns or stables, that are of relatively insignificant
value in relation to the total appraised value, provided the outbuildings are typical of
other residential properties in the subject area, and the appraiser can demonstrate (via
comparable sales) that there is an active, viable market
Significant outbuildings, such as silos, large barns, storage areas, or facilities for farmtype animals may indicate that property is agricultural in nature, and regardless of
whether the appraiser assigns a value, would be ineligible for financing
Income generated (gross, not net) should be minimal. (this is more telling than a loss,
because any loss is probably a write-off of more than just the hobby itself) Any loss must
be considered in the DTI
Commercial use should not result in any significant alterations
The commercial/agricultural use must be allowed by zoning and the subject must
conform to zoning.
4.4 Ineligible Properties
• Co-ops
• Condotels
• Manufactured Homes
• Geodesic Domes, Berms, Earth homes
Ineligible Properties

date, and the borrower must confirm their intent to occupy the subject for Owner
Occupied
• Cashout refi – Properties listed for sale in the six months preceding the disbursement
date of the new mortgage loan are limited to 70% LTV/CLTV/HCLTV ratios (or less if
mandated by the specific product, occupancy, or property type)
Properties Previously
Listed for Sale
In all instances, careful consideration should be given to the listing price and appraised value
to be sure the value is supported
4.6 Appraisals
Note: The definition of properties listed for sale includes non-owner occupied properties
where the current tenants have a lease-to-own provision in their lease; these transactions
are ineligible.
