How to edit a funding lender in construction loans?

This article discusses how to edit a funding lender in construction loans.

To edit a funding lender:

    • Click on the running Loan Servicing drop-down menu in the left panel of The Mortgage Office®.
    • Click the Loans drop-down menu.
    • Click Construction from the list that drops down.
    • From the Construction grid, select the loan you want to modify.

    TIP: If the record you want to edit is not visible, use the grid's vertical scroll bar to scroll the contents of the grid up or down, or click FindSearch icon box Find to search for the record by entering your own search criteria. For additional information see How to Use Find and How to Use the Data Grids.

    • Click edit Edit from the options available on the top panel or double-click the loan.
    • Click dollar-sign-solidFunding in the left-hand panel. 
    • From the grid, select the funding lender you want to modify.
    • Click edit from the options available on the top panel or double-click on the item.
    • Change the following information below. 
    • In the Lender Information section: 
    Field: Description:

    Rounding Adjustment square-check-solid

    Select to adjust this lender if a rounding adjustment is necessary during payment distribution.

    TIPS:

    • When loans are funded by more than one lender, there may come a time when the amount of the payment cannot be distributed completely due to rounding errors. For example, if you have a $9,000.00 loan which is funded equally by three lenders ($3,000.00 each), then each lender owns a third of the loan. The problem arises, if the borrower makes a $100.00 payment. Two lenders will receive $33.33, and the one with this option selected will receive $33.34.
    • Only one lender at a time can have this option selected.
    • In the Lender Rate tab:
    Field: Description:

    Note Rate

    This is the loan's note rate. This is a read-only field.

    Sold Rate

    This is the loan's sold rate (or note rate, if a sold rate was not selected). This is a read-only field.

    TIP: The use of the loans sold rate in combination with the lender rate enables you to handle many investment situations which would otherwise be very cumbersome to implement. For example, you can easily setup a loan with a fixed or varying rate to the borrower, and each individual funding lender with effective rate which is fixed, varying in synch with the borrowers note rate or varying independently with an arbitrary step-rate schedule.

    Rate Modifier square-check-solid

     

    Select this option to add or subtract an amount to arrive at the lender's effective rate. For example: if the loan has a sold rate of 12.00% and a rate modifier of -2.00%, then lender's effective rate is 10.00%. Use this rate if the loan's sold rate fluctuates (such as with an ARM or step-rate loan) and you want the lender's effective rate to fluctuate as well.

    Fixed Rate square-check-solid

    Select this option to enter a fixed interest rate for this lender.

    Lender Rate

    		 This is the resulting interest rate used to calculate accrued interest for this lender in this investment. Note that the same lender may have one or more funding records in the same loan, each having different effective rates and servicing fee options.
