What to do

AWACS interpretation · not source language

What to review: Review the updated HomeAdvantage DC parameters allowing debt-to-income ratios up to 50 percent alongside the 660 minimum credit score and compensating factor requirements for government loans.

QC implications

  • Sample HomeAdvantage DC loans to confirm borrowers meet the 660 minimum credit score requirement.
  • Verify that government loans under the HomeAdvantage DC program with debt-to-income ratios above 45 percent up to 50 percent document an acceptable compensating factor.
