8. What is a Forensic Audit? A scientifically conducted loan audit Performed by human beings (NOT computers) Very factual Mortgage docs are reviewed and compared to all relevant and applicable case laws The fact that different laws apply to each audit/case is taken into account Each state has different laws which are individually reviewed on a case by case basis A document prepared in writing along with an analysis as a package with attached tax documents as needed Include appraisals, which if needed, will be reviewed
9. Who is a Candidate for a Forensic Audit? Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) Someone upside down on their loan (negative equity) Someone facing financial struggle or hardship Rental or investment property owners Victims of predatory lending Any loan created with stated income Anyone in foreclosure or received default notice No Income, No Job or Asset verification (NINJA) Strategic defaults Even someone with a perfect payment history!

10. Commonly Asked Questions Does the client’s payment history come to play? Could they simply be upside down on their loan? Can this be done for me personally and my friends and family? A HUGE Plus +++ Who do YOU know that may benefit from this??
11. Compliance / Disclosure RESPA – Real Estate Settlement & Procedures Act: protects consumers from errors like undisclosed yield spread Mortgage lender does not reveal they are making any money on the back end of the loan TILA – Truth In Lending Act: Protects consumers from such violations as changes in interest rates from inception of the loan until day of closing where borrowers are unaware of rate changes until at the closing table Predatory Lending – MAJOR VIOLATION
12. Compliance / Disclosure Less serious violations – maybe they were not given the RESPA book that’s to be provided by the lender Individuals being charged points for paying off old loans at the time of re-finance HOEPA – Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act: Designed to protect consumers who end up with high interest rates, as well as issues related to non-affordability For instance, if clients were put into a negative amortization of 1-2%, then all of a sudden the interest rate adjusts – THIS REAKS OF PREDATORY LENDING Appraisals – From about 2000-2008 for appraisal verifications, there were appraisers that were going out that were “working” for the mortgage bankers and they would inflate values 125% LTV loans – Anyone remember those?
13. Collateral - Appraisals We review for weaknesses involving the appraisal report. Do you think obvious “INFLATING” took place to meet certain numbers to make transactions work? We actually look at the comps from when the appraisal was done to create even more “LEVERAGE” for our clients. Out of every audit company in the U.S., less than 2% even consider this strategy
14. Servicing Loans If the escrow is messed up, which happens frequently, then it’s a RESPA violation which could end up in a “Principal Reduction” We review the index and margin per note to determine if the ARM loan is correct We examine escrow accounts and verify all statements and make it our business to find all the errors. You probably know someone with a messed up escrow, perhaps even you?
15. Additional Facts How many loans do you think have errors in them on a percentage basis? Fact: 80% 60%of all banks cannot provide the original note to prove they own the loan (blue inking)
