INCOME REQUIREMENTS EXAMPLE EXAMPLE #1 • A husband and wife go to the bank to qualify for a WCDA loan, but the lender is requiring the wife to stay off loan. Does lender need to use wife’s income in order to qualify under WCDA’s income requirement?

The wife's income must be verified, even if she does not work. INCOME REQUIREMENTS EXAMPLE EXAMPLE #2 • A couple moves to Wyoming from Colorado where his income was much higher. In Wyoming his income will be less. Will the lender have to take the current income and project forward for 12 months to qualify for WCDA income limits? Yes/No INCOME REQUIREMENTS ANSWER • YES, we use current pay stubs and voe’s to calculate the income for WCDA. The lender will then project the income forward for 12 months to make sure the borrower is within the WCDA income limits. This also applies if the income has increased, use only anticipated income. INCOME REQUIREMENTS EXAMPLE EXAMPLE #3 • A Husband and wife go to the bank to qualify for a WCDA loan and the wife is pregnant. Can they be a family size of 3 even though the baby is not born yet?

We would like a written statement from the borrowers stating they are expecting. INCOME REQUIREMENTS EXAMPLE EXAMPLE #4 • A couple wants to qualify for a WCDA loan and the husband receives overtime and has shown a pattern that overtime is likely to continue. Would WCDA use the overtime to determine if they are under the income limit? Yes/No INCOME REQUIREMENTS ANSWER • YES, if they show a pattern of overtime and the employer states it is likely to continue, lenders must use the overtime to determine if the couple is under the WCDA income limits. – NOTE: Unless employer states it is no longer expected due to more people hired, or economic cut backs, etc., then they don’t have to use it.

Can the lender do a short term (24 months or less) bridge loan for the couple to purchase house and do repairs and then take the bridge loan out with a 30 year WCDA loan when done? Yes/No NEW MORTGAGE REQUIREMENT ANSWER • YES, the borrower would be able to get a short term bridge loan (24 months or less) to purchase the property, do the repairs and then use the WCDA 30 year loan as the permanent take out loan.

AFTER THE LOAN CLOSES • Transferring ownership is not allowed without prior written approval from WCDA – Do not Quit Claim a WCDA financed property after closing. • Other post closing actions that are usually not allowed. These would require both WCDA and Mortgage Insurer’s approval: – Cannot add someone to the Title without WCDA approval AFTER THE LOAN CLOSES – Cannot drop someone from the loan, all borrowers are liable for the debt unless they have been formally released by WCDA. – Partial release of mortgage after loan is closed is difficult to accomplish and may not be approved by mortgage insurer or WCDA. – Additional land added to loan after loan is closed will probably not be approved.
