| This calculator is intended for counselors on the HUD HECM Counselor Roster. You can launch the FIT system directly from Ibis through a link on the Navigator page. Other features include sticky notes, calendar tasks, and the ability to reassign a client to another user in your organization. |
|
|
| If your client has a Record Locator Number, you can enter it on the Navigator page and info about your client and the products proposed to
them will flow into RMA. An Ibis RLN will save you some typing and ensures you that your client has received a complete pre-counseling package either from your agency or a lender unknown to you. |
| |
| A sample non-borrowing spouse
("NBS") certification page
has been added to Ibis RMA. As part of the HECM loan package
it must be signed by any borrower with a NBS and by all
borrowers who are not married, i.e., all single borrowers.
If there are two single borrowers, each must sign one of
these certification pages. To view and print this page, click here >

| HUD counseling session
Q&A tracking: We have submitted our first report on
this new feature to HUD covering the month of December 2015.
The report includes info on which agencies and counselors
are using the Ibis Q and A form as suggested in HUD's
December 3 Announcement. If you'd like to see the results
for your agency, have your supervisor contact Ibis.
95% of
the first ten questions are being marked as correctly
answered. The weakest one is #4 at 88% "Does the money you
get from a reverse mortgage ever have to be paid back?" Yes,
it does. We're not counselors, but suspect the non-recourse
feature is blurring how clients think on this question.
Questions 11 and 12 on refinancing fared a bit less well
than the first ten general questions. Questions 13 thru 16
on home purchase were answered correctly 100% of the time.
These questions (11 thru 16) were less than 4.0% of the
total asked.
The menu at the top of each page has a link to “Questions
”.
But rather than clicking back and forth between pages and
questions, you might print out copies of the Ibis Q and A
page. Hand mark a copy as you go thru the session, then, at
the end of the session, fill out the Ibis online form all at
once. |
