Interested Party Contributions (IPC) on Conventional Loans
Effective August 1, 2017, Fannie Mae is raising allowable seller contributions from 3 percent to 4 percent on CLTV's greater than 90 percent only on HFA Preferred and Preferred Risk Conventional loans. The additional 1 percent of the IPC must be used for borrower's closing costs. DU Approve/Eligible required, however lender may disregard any DU messaging because the IPC exceeds the maximum allowable contributions. Lenders must use special feature code 849 in DU.

Effective immediately, KHC will allow lenders to charge a 1 percent VA Flat Charge in addition to the VA allowable fees. Lenders need to show this fee as VA Flat Charge in the Origination Charges on the LE and CD. This is only applicable for VA loans.
