U.S. Bank Home Mortgage FHA PRODUCT
Wholesale Product Guidelines: Plan #: 1018 30 Yr 3/1 ARM 2.0 Margin
Several states and local municipalities have enacted legislation which define High Cost loans based on APR and fee thresholds which
may or may not relate to the HOEPA thresholds. These types of loans typically have various restrictions. It is the policy of U.S. Bank
Home Mortgage not to purchase any loan defined as “high cost” under any federal or state law/regulation or local ordinances and any
subsequent amendments thereto.
PRODUCT 30 Year Amortization FOOTNOTES
Description Adjustable-rate mortgage with the rate and payment fixed for the first three-years and annual interest
and payment adjustments thereafter.

all maximum mortgage calculations. - FHA determines Maximum Loan amounts per county of
each state. This can be found on the FHA Connection or
though the Homeownership Centers.
Rate/Term Refi See HUD 4155 - 1-10 and 1-11a. - All instructions remain in effect for No Cash Out and
Streamline refinances as per 4155.1 REV 5 except for
the following modifications and additions: (Mtgee letter
(continued on next page) 05-043)
The mortgage being refinanced must be current for
the month due.
In determining the existing debt as part of the
mortgage amount calculation, the Mortgage may
include accrued late charges and escrow shortages.
At closing, the borrower may not receive cash back
in excess of $500.
Prepaid expenses may include the per diem to the
end of the month on the new Loan, hazard
insurance premium deposits, monthly insurance
premiums and any real estate tax deposits needed
to establish the escrow account regardless whether
the mortgagee refinancing the existing loan is also
servicing lender for that mortgage.
Shortening the Term: Previous instructions provide
for an allowance of $50 before triggering a credit
review when a borrower shortens the term of the
mortgage. In light of the increase in mortgage
amounts over the past several years this is not a
realistic threshold. A mortgage on a principal
residence may be refinanced to a shorter-term
mortgage, provided the monthly principal and
interest increases no more than 20 percent. This
should allow more borrowers to shorten the term of
their mortgage without the need for a full
underwriting.
