Objective
This SOP outlines the steps to create multiple loan scenarios and generate a comparison for clients, ensuring clarity and ease of understanding for team members.
Key Steps
Step 1: Access the Existing Scenario
Click on the existing scenario for the client (e.g., Stuart Saunders).
This will bring you back to the original loan details.
Step 2: Edit Key Metrics for New Scenario
Navigate to the 'Edit Key Metrics' section.
Change the Loan-to-Value (LTV) percentage to the desired amount (e.g., 90%).
Confirm the change by addressing any prompts regarding PMI adjustments.
Step 3: Adjust PMI and Save Changes
Clear the PMI section if prompted.
Recall the API to update the coverage factor.
Ensure that the interest rate and points remain the same unless adjustments are necessary.
Step 4: Save the New Scenario
Click 'Save As New Scenario'.
Update the nickname to reflect the new scenario (e.g., 'Stuart 90% Conventional').
Hit 'Save New Scenario'.
Step 5: Create Additional Scenarios
Repeat Steps 2-4 for additional scenarios (e.g., 85% down payment).
Ensure each scenario is saved with a unique nickname.
Step 6: Organize Scenarios
Drag and drop scenarios into the desired order (e.g., from highest to lowest down payment).
Step 7: Create a Comparison of Scenarios
Click 'Create New Comparison'.
Select the scenarios in the order you want to present them (e.g., 95%, 90%, 85%).
Name the comparison (e.g., 'Saunders Loan Comparison').
Confirm and save the comparison.
Step 8: Review Comparison Details
Check the side-by-side comparison for key metrics:
Cash to close
Monthly payment
Closing costs
Ensure all details are accurate and reflect the scenarios.
Step 9: Finalize and Position Comparison
Return to the deal home to view the comparison.
Adjust the position of the comparison if necessary (first or last position).
Cautionary Notes
Always double-check the accuracy of the loan details before saving new scenarios.
Ensure that all changes are validated to avoid discrepancies in client presentations.
Tips for Efficiency
Familiarize yourself with the software interface to navigate quickly.
Use consistent naming conventions for scenarios to avoid confusion.
Keep notes on common adjustments to streamline the process for future scenarios.
