What to do

AWACS interpretation · not source language

What to review: Review the updated rental income underwriting standards, the reporting instructions for highest and best use under UAD 3.6, and the expanded eligibility criteria allowing tribal members to qualify under the Native American Conventional Lending Initiative when their tribe lacks jurisdiction over the property.

QC implications

  • Quality control should verify that files using the updated rental income guidance comply with the revised standards.
  • Quality control should sample UAD 3.6 appraisal reports to ensure compliance with the new highest and best use reporting directions.
  • Quality control should confirm eligibility documentation on Native American Conventional Lending Initiative loans where the borrower's tribe lacks jurisdiction over the mortgaged property.
