Training Courses  
Servicing Released

Training Overview

This training provides guidance for Participating Financial Institutions through the process of origination, processing, underwriting, selling and post-closing servicing through Newrez.

Complete Training to Understand Your Responsibilities:

A couple things to keep in mind:

  • The training modules are meant to follow a general best practice process flow.
  • You are responsible to originate, process, underwrite and close in your institution’s name; following standard secondary market procedures and the MPF Guides.
  • The MPF Program requires the use of agency (Fannie/Freddie) documents for origination through closing.
  • Review and familiarize yourself with the MPF Guides.

Tip: There are several MPF websites available to you. Learn more. 

Tip: If you find an MPF closing package within your doc prep system; know this was not created or approved by the MPF Program.

Note: Register with MERS (if not already a MERS member)

Your interaction with MPF in the loan process will include:

  • Providing loan information to MPF using the automated (batch) submission process. The Fannie Mae 3.0 XML ULDD is the required format. 
  • Pricing and locking the loan using the eMPF website.
  • After disbursing loan proceeds and not less than seven business days prior to price expiration, you will request loan funding using eMPF. If you do not have a full seven days, you will need to purchase an extension. 
  • The custody folder is to be pre-certified by the MPF Document Custodian no less than three business days prior to price expiration. 
    • Monitor the pre-custody reports, making any corrections required, to ensure the loan is certified. If necessary, purchase an extension. 

Newrez as servicer:

  • Review the Newrez Whole Loan Servicing Transfer Manual for Xtra.
  • MPF will purchase the whole loans and concurrently sell the servicing to Newrez (this allows MPF to do a full net funding).
  • A full net funding includes: the loan amount purchased by MPF, service release premium, interim interest, agent fee, LLPAs, tax service fee, Newrez's boarding fee and escrow deposits; all net funded by MPF in the purchase of the loan.
  • PFI will image and upload the service file to the eMPF website (see Post-Closing tab).
  • Newrez reviews the servicing file and will notify the PFI of any exception/missing items. Once the servicing file is acceptable to Newrez, the loan will be boarded onto the Newrez servicing system.
  • Newrez will charge the following fees for each serviced mortgage: 
    • Tax Service Fee: $80
    • Loan Boarding Fee: $120
