2nd Mortgage w/ 1st Already in Escrow
03/17/2019
We are doing a second mortgage where the first mortgage is already in escrow. 1.) Should we disclose the estimated escrow on page 1 of the Loan Estimate with No for being in escrow or should we completely leave them off since the borrower is already in escrow. 2.) On Page 4 of the Closing Disclosure how should we disclose here as well, and if we select no escrow, our only options are because the customer declined it or your lender does not offer one. Neither of these fit our situation because the customer is already in escrow with us, so they didn't decline it nor did we not offer one.

New Rate Spread Calculator-APOR Spreadsheet
03/10/2019
With the new rate spread calculator, I am wondering if the APOR spreadsheet will it no longer be updated with each Monday? Also, I am getting conflicting answers within the forum: as a small servicer, is there an exception to the threshold of 3.5% on first liens or does the rule apply across the board whether you are a small creditor or not: 1.5% for first lien and 3.5% for subordinate liens to determine the HPML status?
