A new “LLPA Waiver Eligible” checkbox is now available in P3. When checked, the appropriate GSE LLPAs will be capped. Area Median Income and Duty to Serve eligibility should be confirmed before selecting the loan is eligible for the LLPA waiver. Once the loan is delivered, before the loan is purchased, our system will confirm eligibility. If the loan is not eligible for the Credit Fee Cap the loan will be repriced and the cap will be removed.
Detailed information of our system support for Credit Fee Caps can be found in the Credit Fee Cap P3 Resource Guide.
