My understanding is that we figure the payment at the higher rate based on the full loan amount. Is that correct? As I was explaining this at our bank, someone said that we should be using the balance as of the 61st payment.
Either one.
Underwrite using-
(A) The maximum interest rate that may apply during the first five years after the date on which the first regular periodic payment will be due; and
(B) Periodic payments of principal and interest that will repay either:
(1) The outstanding principal balance over the remaining term of the loan as of the date the interest rate adjusts to the maximum interest rate set forth in paragraph (e)(2)(iv)(A) of this section, assuming the consumer will have made all required payments as due prior to that date; or
(2) The loan amount over the loan term;
