Check the origination file, underwriting approval, servicing record, payment history, escrow or reserve record, refinancing terms, lease agreement, authorization record, transfer notice, and applicable legal constraints.

Common Mistakes

  • Treating origination approval as the same as ongoing servicing performance.
  • Ignoring servicing transfers, payment application, fees, and legal notices.
  • Comparing refinancing or bridge options without checking term, cost, maturity, and repayment source.
  • Confusing lease financing with ordinary loan repayment.
