30 DAY CHARGE ACCOUNTS
If the borrower is showing a 30 day account such as American Express, they will need to
document sufficient funds to pay the balance. This is not a change, but will now be
enforced. The borrower will not have to pay it, but verify that they have the funds to be
able to do so. If it is a business account, they will have to get their expense check
deposited to show sufficient funds. If the business is actually paying the bill, we will
need 12 months canceled checks. DU will include this balance in Total Funds to be
verified.
OLD NEW
Open 30-day charge accounts must be
paid off at or prior to closing if:
• the borrower is unable to document
sufficient assets to cover the unpaid
balance, or

OTHER SOURCES OF INCOME
There will be additional options for “other income”. These must be input correctly so
that DU fires the correct documentation. The following other income sources will be
added to the drop down box. Please note that any loan previously run in DU prior to Oct
20 cannot have these added. DU will not recognize them as income.
Capital Gains
Employment-Related Assets
Foreign Income
Royalty Payment
Seasonal Income
Temporary Leave
Tip Income RESERVES FOR 2-4 UNIT PRINCIPAL RESIDENCES
A minimum of 6 months reserves will be required on all 2-4 unit principal residences.
There will be certain instances that the underwriter will need to manually calculate the
reserves. Specifically when the principal residence is a pending sale or they are
converting it to a second home or investment property. Also a manual calculation will be
required for all second home and investment property transactions.
OLD NEW
DU would allow for fewer reserves
depending on the strength of the file.
6 months reserves will be required
regardless of the strength of the file.
ALIMONY & CHILD SUPPORT
OLD NEW
Documentation of receipt for a minimum
of 6 months is required; however, the
lender was allowed to follow the 3 month
requirement in DU
Documentation of receipt for a minimum
of 6 months is required. DU will be
updated to reflect the correct # of months
OTHER NOTES ON THE UPDATE
The update will fine tune some of the conditions in DU and update conditions that are no
longer applicable since announcement 2012-04 was issued. The update will update the
disputed tradeline logic. This is supposed to then issue the disputed tradeline message on
fewer loans.
The findings report will have several new fields. It will show the first submission date
and the current submission date. It will also improve the Funds section.
