*Note the changes below.

1) Seller credit max is 3% - even if you are doing an FHA loan
2) Nehemiah can no longer be used with Cal HFA products
3) 45.00% max DTI on manual underwriting and 55.00% on Automated
approvals
4) 3 years from BK discharge - regardless of what kind of first
mortgage you have
5) Mid low FICO of all borrowers must be 620 for 95% LTV or less or 680
