Now Accepting Early Submissions for FHA Streamlines

Now Through 6/10/2012
As announced in FHA ML 12-04—Effective for case numbers assigned on/after 6/11/12 for streamline refinance transactions of FHA loans endorsed on/before 5/31/09:

1. Decrease to Up Front MIP: Up Front MIP = 0.01 of the base loan amount.
2. Decrease to Annual MIP: Annual MIP = 55 bps, regardless of loan amount.

Submit Early and Carrington Mortgage Services Will:

1. Confirm that the loan is eligible via the Query Screen on FHA Connections. MSI will advise you if the loan is not eligible.
2. Underwrite the loan and hold it in queue to submit for an FHA case number on 6/11/12.
3. Receive the case number from FHA, and expedite the closing/funding of the loan.

We will make every effort to facilitate a June closing for these early submissions; however, we are subject to the limitations of the FHA Connections’ ability to provide FHA Case Numbers.

• If the receipt of the FHA case numbers is delayed, CMS will strive for a July closing; however, CMS will then require an updated Payoff Letter from the Servicer.
