Selling
Par pricing for mortgages delivered with a net coupon equal to the published Net Yield (rate to Seller). Indicative Net Yields are posted daily as a pricing guide on the Farmer Mac website at www.farmermac.com. Sellers add 10 to 100 bps (0.10% to 1.00%) field servicing (up-pricing) to the Net Yield to determine the Note Rate to the borrower.
Field Servicing retained by Seller. Field Servicing fees are remitted to the Seller after each payment is made. Sellers also keep all origination fees.
Annual Field Servicing requirements:
act as the primary contact for the Borrower for issues other than loan installments and billings;
monitor the Borrower’s compliance with the terms of the loan documents;
monitor the payment of property taxes and insurance;
inspect collateral as required;
file UCC Continuation Statements;
request annual financial statements when Borrowers have an aggregate unpaid principal loan balance greater than $250,000;
work closely with the Borrower to resolve loan delinquencies.
Mandatory delivery.
Prepayment
All Farmer Mac full open prepayment rate products are eligible for the program, with payment options limited to semi-annual or monthly pay. No partial open prepayment or yield maintenance product may be selected.
