How to Read the MPF Price Sheet – Best Efforts Pricing

Loan Level Price Adjustments (LLPA) are not a part of the price quote. You must calculate the LLPAs and price up to cover the Fannie Mae required adjustments.

Tip: See the LLPA Pricing Worksheet

Refi Plus cannot be delivered as Best Efforts; The Refi Plus may be converted to a standard refinance, which would make the loan eligible for Best Efforts pricing. (loans delivered as Refi Plus must be delivered into a Refi Plus-specific master commitment and will be mandatory delivery)
