  • Coinsurance 4330.4
    COINSURANCE 4330.4 ___________________________________________________________________________ CHAPTER 5: COINSURED MORTGAGES ___________________________________________________________________________ 5-1 GENERAL. A. Claims on loans which were originated under the coinsurance * provisions of Section 244 of the National Housing Act, 12USC 1715Z-9 and are still within the period of coinsurance must * be filed in accordance with the provisions of this Chapter, unless the mortgage has been accepted by HUD for assignment. Under the coinsurance program the mortgagee does not convey the property to HUD in exchange for insurance benefits. After acquiring the property by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the mortgagee sells the property for the best price obtainable. The unpaid principal balance of the mortgage is reduced by the purchase price in computing insurance benefits. If the property is not sold within 6 months after acquisition, the unpaid principal balance is reduced by the appraised value of the property. HUD and the mortgagee share any loss arising out of the mortgage transaction. The lender exposure will be 10% of the actual loss subject to a "stop loss" of one percent of the total face amount of coinsured loans originated by the lender in same calendar year. B. HUD maintains a Coinsurance Reserve Account for each mortgagee by calendar year. A percentage of the annual mortgage insurance premium is credited, and the mortgagee's share of the loss is debited, to this account. C. Claims for insurance benefits under the coinsurance program may be filed only by an approved coinsuring mortgagee (See 24 CFR 204.5). During the coinsurance period servicing functions must be performed by an approved coinsuring mortgagee.

    -" May 29, 2002 Financial Crimes Enforcement Network P.o. Box 39 Mortgage Vienna, VA 22183 Insurance Companies Re: Section 352 AMLP Regulations of America Dear Sir or Madam: This letter, on behalf of the Mortgage Suzanne C. Hutchinson Executive Vice President Insurance Companies of America ("MICA"), a trade association that represents the interests of private mortgage insurers throughout the United States, is in response to the Interim Final Rule published in the Federal Register (67 Fed. Reg. 21110) on April 29, 2002. The Interim Final Rule temporarily exempts certain financial institutions, including insurance companies, from the requirement that they establish anti-money laundering programs under the Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA"), 31 U.S.C., 18 U.S.C. § 5318(h) (1). This provision was added to the BSA by Section 352 of the USA PATRIOT Act. For the reasons discussed below, when expected regulations requiring compliance programs for insurance companies are issued, we respectfully request that private mortgage insurance companies be excluded from the definition of insurance and, consequently, not be required to establish and maintain.ananti-moneylaunderingprograms. The Rule states that: Treasury and FinCEN have not had the opportunity to identify the nature and scope of the money laundering or terrorist financing risks associated with [the exempt] businesses. The extension of the anti-money laundering program requirement to all the remaining financial institutions, most of which have never been subject to federal financial regulation, raises many significant practical and policy issues.

These forward-looking statements include our discussion of The PMI Group, Inc.’s (PMI or the Company) deep-cede captive reinsurance structures and the assumptions, rationales and conclusions of Milliman, Inc. described in this presentation with respect to PMI’s deep-cede captives and their financial impact on PMI. When a forward-looking statement includes an underlying assumption, we caution that assumptions are inherently uncertain. Assumed facts almost always vary from actual results and the difference between assumed facts and actual results can be material. Forward- looking statements are subject to a number of economic risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, changes in economic conditions, economic slowdowns, adverse changes in consumer confidence, declining housing values, higher unemployment, deteriorating borrower credit and changes in interest rates. Forward-looking statements are also subject to legislative and regulatory developments, and regulatory investigations relating to the insurance industry, including captive reinsurance arrangements. We cannot predict the scope, timing or outcome of legislative or regulatory developments or investigations.

The analysis and conclusions set forth are those of the authors and do not indicate concurrence by other members of the research staff or the Board of Governors. 2 Private Mortgage Securitization in the United States • Tried several times since the 1880’s • A familiar recurring history… ▫ Credit boom with lax underwriting standards ▫ Shock that causes mortgage defaults to rise ▫ Bondholders dump securities and head for the exit ▫ Securitizers blamed for not looking out for bondholders • Recent crisis is no exception Brookings: Restructuring the US Residential Market Hancock and Passmore: Catastrophic Mortgage Insurance and the Reform of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac 3 Experience with Private Mortgage Securitization Raises Three Questions 1. Why is mortgage securitization so fragile? 2. Would government provision of catastrophic insurance for mortgage-backed instruments improve financial stability? 3. Is there a potential role for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to provide government-backed insurance for financial instruments that are backed by mortgages?

Many individuals and families who could not otherwise afford to own a home become homeowners with the help of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance programs. FHA is a part of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). One of the chief purposes of FHA is to help people obtain financing to buy their homes. This booklet can help homebuyers understand how they can make use of FHA mortgage insurance programs. It explains: • How FHA mortgage insurance works • Who can use FHA mortgage insurance • How to shop for a HUD-approved lender • How to apply for an FHA-insured mortgage loan • What restrictions apply to FHA-insured mortgage loans Buying a home is the biggest single purchase that most people will make in their lifetimes. Most people borrow money through a mortgage loan to buy a home. Some people reduce the amount of money they bor- row by making a large downpayment on the loan to buy a home. Persons who do not have money for a large downpayment may need the help of an FHA-insured mortgage to get a loan.

  • PRIVATE MORTGAGE INSURANCE DISCLOSURE (Fixed Rate Mortgages) Date: BORROWER(S) NAME and PROPERTY ADDRESS LENDER NAME and ADDRESS
    PRIVATE MORTGAGE INSURANCE DISCLOSURE (Fixed Rate Mortgages) Date: BORROWER(S) NAME AND PROPERTY ADDRESS LENDER NAME AND ADDRESS LOAN NUMBER PMI CERTIFICATE NUMBER You are obtaining a mortgage loan that requires private mortgage insurance (“PMI”). PMI protects lenders and others against financial loss when borrowers default. Charges for the insurance are added to your loan payment. Under certain circumstances, federal law gives you the right to cancel PMI or requires that PMI automatically terminate. This disclosure describes when cancellation and termination may occur. Please note that PMI is not the same as property/casualty insurance – such as homeowner’s or flood insurance – which protects you against damage to the property. Cancellation or termination of PMI does not affect any obligation you may have to maintain the other types of insurance. In this disclosure, “loan” means the mortgage loan you are obtaining; “you” means the original borrower (or his or her successors or assigns); and “property” means the property securing the mortgage loan. Initial Amortization Schedule An amortization schedule shows the principal and interest due on your loan, along with the balance remaining after each scheduled payment, is attached for your reference. Borrower Requested Cancellation of PMI You have the right to request that PMI be cancelled on or after the following dates: 1) The date the principal balance of your loan is first scheduled to reach 80% of the original value of the property. This date is (if your loan has a balloon feature with a fixed interest rate and no conditional right to refinance, this date will not be reached before your loan matures).
