City of West Covina I Office of the City Manager
DATE: April 21, 2020
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: David Carmany
City Manager
SUBJECT: Consideration of Contract Award for Loan Servicing for Housing Loan Program
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Community Development Commission award the housing loan servicing agreement to
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC dba AmeriNat for loan servicing for the housing loan programs, and
authorize the Executive Director to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The City of West Covina Community Development Commission (CDC) (formerly the Redevelopment Agency
(RDA)) established the Housing Preservation Loan Program (HPP), the Housing Improvement Loan Program
(HILP), and a West Covina First Time Home Buyer Program (FTHB). The loan programs were designed to assist
households of very -low, low and moderate income to provide financial assistance and to improve and preserve the
housing stock. The FTHB program provided low and moderate income households assistance in purchasing
residential property in the City of West Covina. These programs were implemented starting 1993 and, with the
dissolution of Redevelopment in 2012, the last loans were issued in 2011. CDC staff administers these loan
programs with AmeriNational Community Services, LLC, which does business as AmeriNat and services the HPP
and FTHB loans.
On March 1, 2011, the CDC entered into a Service Agreement with AmeriNat to provide administration services,
including loan collection, title reconveyances, and any necessary loss mitigation services such as forbearance or
foreclosure proceedings for the HPP and FTHB programs. Currently, AmeriNat is managing thirty-seven (37)
loans, including eighteen (18) HPP loans, which have monthly payments, and nineteen (19) FTHB loans, which
have deferred payments as well as equity sharing provisions.
Pursuant to amendments to the Service Agreement, AmeriNat's current agreement with the City has been extended
through August 30, 2020 (unless terminated before). The most recent extension granted loan servicing of the home
loans while staff conducted a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new agreement.
DISCUSSION:
On February 3, 2020, CDC staff released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Loan Servicing of the Housing Loan
Programs. The RFP was posted on the City's website through Planet Bids on February 3, 2020. Bidding closed on
February 27, 2020. The City received only one (1) proposal, which was from AmeriNat (Exhibit A to Attachment
No. 1). Below, please find a brief summary of the proposal:

Staff recommends awarding the bid to AmeriNat, as they are currently our loan servicing provider and the only
company that submitted a proposal. AmeriNafs proposal includes the same fee schedule currently under their
extended agreement. AmeriNat will continue to provide the same level of services they currently provide, which
incudes; current month reconciliation, portfolio status and delinquent aging reports. Their services will include
follow-up notifications and calls on delinquent accounts and IRS Form 1098 reporting. Both the City and the
borrowers will have access to their account information via internet and toll -free customer support. AmeriNat has
the expertise in handling bankruptcy cases, delinquencies, and foreclosure in accordance with local, state, and
federal statutes.
The proposed Professional Service Agreement (PSA) provides for a three (3) year agreement with AmeriNat, with
the option to extend the term for two (2) successive one-year periods thereafter. A projection of the cost for their

The contract cost is approximately $34,500 over the course of the five (5) year term. To enable the City to utilize
additional services as they are required, the PSA provides for a maximum compensation amount of $44,500. The
City anticipates an additional two (2) loans transferred to AmeriNat this calendar year (2020), which will include a
fee of $90 ($45/loan) for the loan set-up. Please note that as the loans are paid off, the monthly fees will be reduced.

AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
Project Summary Section
AmeriNat understands the City's need for administration of its affordable housing loan projects
funded under HUD's CDBG and Low -Moderate Income Housing funds. AmeriNat has been a
leading servicer of specialty mortgages in the affordable housing and economic development
industries since 1975. We have unparalleled experience in this industry, working with
approximately 300 clients nationwide, including hundreds of government agencies, numerous
nonprofits, financial institutions and private investors (including loan servicing for the City of
West Covina since 2011). We service over 65,000 loans with a principal balance in excess of $12
billion, the majority of which were generated to promote affordable housing and economic
development.
AmeriNat will provide the City with housing loan servicing consistent with established local and
state law and guidelines and affordable housing requirements. Further details regarding our
approach to the Scope of Work can be found in the Methodology section of this proposal below.
Methodology Section
AmeriNat will provide loan servicing functions on all loans made by the City and its agents. The
services delivered will encompass all service items identified in the City's RFP.
The detailed work plan below will be followed by AmeriNat, adhering to the City's service
delivery standards and desired problem reporting and resolution procedures:
Loan Servicing for Amortized and Deferred Loans
1. Introductory Package: Upon boarding of each new loan, AmeriNat will send to each borrower
a welcome package. This welcome package contains a Notice of Servicing Transfer, Fair Debt
Notice, FACT Act Letter, ACH sign-up form and a supply of coupons.
2. Collection and Remittance of Payments: AmeriNat will collect payments from the borrowers
through monthly or other scheduled remittances of principal, interest, fees, escrow balances
and other identified payments. These remittances will be posted to the loan and ancillary
records in accordance with the loan documents and the City's written instructions. Payments
will be posted the same day as receipt. All funds will be maintained in an FDIC insured
banking institution in a custodial account for the benefit of the City and the borrowers as
applicable. AmeriNat will ensure the proper balancing of cash received and transmitted and
loan portfolio totals on a daily and monthly basis. Remittances will be forwarded to the City
monthly net of fees and other authorized charges due to AmeriNat.
3. Payment of Property Taxes: At the City's request, AmeriNat will monitor the timely payment
of property taxes. Tax service will be required to monitor payment of property tax.
NAMERINAT
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
4. Insurance Monitoring: AmeriNat will notify the insurance agent in writing that AmeriNat is
monitoring premium payments and that we are to be made aware of delinquencies or
cancellations. AmeriNat will force place insurance in accordance with respective regulation
(see Insurance section).
5. Escrow/Impound Account: If the City chooses, AmeriNat will establish an escrow/impound
account for any borrower for the payment of taxes and insurance. Many borrowers find it easier
to pay into an escrow account on a monthly basis rather than making large semi-annual or
annual tax and insurance payments. AmeriNat will collect the monthly escrow payment from
the borrower and make the tax and insurance payments on the borrower's behalf. The borrower
escrow accounts will be analyzed annually in accordance with the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act (RESPA). Tax service is necessary to ensure the timely and accurate payment
of property taxes.
Please note: Unless respective state law requires otherwise, AmeriNat's escrow analysis
utilizes a 2-month cushion in accordance with RESPA. This cushion is an industry standard
and is intended to minimize the likelihood of escrow shortages / deficits when and if escrow
disbursement items increase. If this cushion is not consistent with the City's current escrow
analysis process, borrowers' escrow analysis may result in a shortage and/or escrow payment
increase at the time of AmeriNat's first analysis. This may impact borrowers' ability to make
increased monthly payments to escrow. Should the City request alternative handling of loan
accounts with escrow payment increases, this may result in the City incurring extraordinary
services charges.
If the City chooses to establish an escrow/impound account for any borrower, AmeriNat will
also establish a Client Escrow Deficit account. This account is used to track and reconcile all
advances made by AmeriNat on borrower accounts with escrow deficits as a result of payments
made on the borrower's behalf in excess of their escrow balance. Additionally, this account
also serves to track the monthly reimbursement to AmeriNat for all aforementioned advances.
The escrow deficit account will be reconciled monthly and the net change will be included or
deducted from the City's monthly remittance; a net shortage/negative will be deducted and a
net overage/positive will be remitted. Any advances made by AmeriNat that are not reimbursed
by the City the following month will be subject to an interest charge of 1% per month
compounded until such time said reimbursement occurs. Regardless of whether or not the net
shortage/negative is deducted from remittance, the City remains responsible for all escrow
advances made by AmeriNat.
At portfolio transfer AmeriNat will require a cash deposit of the total amount of positive escrow
balances. Negative escrow balances will be set up, and the aggregate total will need to be
deposited in to an "Escrow Advances" account until such time that said advance is recouped
from the respective borrower.
6. Late Fees: In keeping with the provisions of the City's promissory note, AmeriNat will assess
and retain a late fee when payment is not made within the grace period. Loans boarded for
servicing that do not contain a late fee provision are subject to an additional monthly servicing
fee surcharge.
WAMERINAT
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
Lender Placed Insurance
In accordance with respective regulation, upon notification of a policy cancellation from the
borrower's insurance carrier, or when proof of a current policy is not received, AmeriNat will
request lender -placed insurance from AmeriNat's insurance provider.
1. Coverage is instantly bound upon receipt of request with an effective date up to 90 days prior
to receipt of our request.
2. AmeriNat's insurance provider or their carrier will send out three letters to the borrower over
the course of forty-five days. If the borrower provides proof of coverage, lender -placed
coverage will be cancelled.
3. If the effective date of this coverage is the same and there is no lapse in coverage, there will be
no premium charged. If there is a lapse in coverage, there may be a fee charged to the
borrower's account for an earned premium.
4. If the borrower does not provide proof of coverage, AmeriNat's insurance provider will send
an insurance policy and notification of premium to the borrower and bill AmeriNat for a one-
year policy. If the borrower does not have an established impound account; AmeriNat will
create one and disburse the premium from it. If the borrower fails to pay the premium before
the end of the month, and the disbursed premium results in an escrow deficit balance, said
balance will be accounted for in that month's reconciliation of the Client Escrow Deficit
Account. If the aggregate portfolio remittance for said month is insufficient to cover the deficit
amount, the City will be billed and responsible for the cost until recouped from the borrower.
Any pay-off quotations or demands will reflect any impound deficit amounts (caused by the
cost of any forced -place insurance or other advances) so that the borrower will still be held
responsible for the cost even if they are unresponsive.
The Portfolio Status Report, delivered monthly to the City, will also reflect such negative
impound balances (i.e. the total amount of such premiums owed by borrower).
5. The one-year policy is cancelable at any time by either AmeriNat or the City.
Account Inquiries
Borrowers and the City have 24-hour electronic access to their loan information via AmeriNat's
website at www.amerinatls.com. Continuous access to all loan account information is also
provided during normal working hours through our toll -free customer service telephone lines. In
addition, we can provide hard copy account payment histories or other information through
facsimile transmission or email. When requested by a borrower, AmeriNat will provide, without
charge, a detailed statement of all transactions relating to the borrower's payments and/or escrow
account.
MAMERINAT
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
Non -sufficient Funds (NSF) Checks
In the event that a check is returned to us unpaid due to non -sufficient funds, a returned check fee
will be assessed. A letter will be sent to the borrower requesting immediate payment plus the
returned check fee. If this fee is not received, a memo will be placed on the individual's account
and the fee will be collected at the time the loan is paid off.
Additional Portfolio Management Services
1. Loan Payoff Ouotations, Satisfactions, Reconveyances: AmeriNat will provide Loan Payoff
Quotations and will perform Satisfactions and Reconveyances of Mortgage at the borrower's
expense for any loan at the City's request.
2. Loan Amortization Schedules: AmeriNat will provide Loan Amortization Schedules for any
loan at the City's request.
3. 1098 Tax Forms: Pursuant to IRS regulations and, on behalf of the City, AmeriNat will submit
required 1098 tax form for any and all borrowers paying interest on any City loan.
4. Year -End Account Summary: AmeriNat will supply a year-end account summary statement
to each borrower if there has been principal, interest or escrow activity on their account. The
report will indicate principal and interest paid, amount of payments AmeriNat made on the
borrower's behalf for taxes and insurance, and any remaining escrow balance.
5. Tickler Notifications: AmeriNat will provide for an annual tickler notification to any borrower,
at the City's request.
Loan Transfer
In the event the City requires AmeriNat to transition loans back to the City or to another Servicer,
AmeriNat will gather and package all loan files (hard -copy and/or electronic copy) for shipment.
AmeriNat has an in-house IT department that is dedicated to the maintenance and enhancement of
its proprietary loan servicing system. AmeriNat's IT department will work with the City's staff to
electronically transmit servicing data in an agreed upon format.
Loan Reconstruction
Over the course of our history, we have assisted our wide range of clients in reconstructing their
portfolio of loans to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the booked loans with the terms and
conditions of the original loan documents. Reconstruction work may involve a detailed review of
payment histories to determine posting accuracy and compliance with promissory notes, truth in
lending statements, and other applicable related loan documents.
WAMERINAT
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
Loss Mitieation
AmeriNat provides treatment for delinquent mortgages through positive pressure that is fair but
firm. If delinquent borrowers have a positive attitude toward their obligations, we will work with
them to help them retain title to their property. The following policy of follow-up will be adhered
to by AmeriNat to minimize any loss of income to the City:
1. First Payment Default: Early delinquency can be a sign of a chronic delinquent borrower.
AmeriNat forwards its first letter to new delinquent borrowers at 5 days past the first payment
due date. If there is no response, a second letter is sent at 15 days. Borrowers are invited to
contact our office to discuss difficulties they may be facing in meeting their obligations. If no
response is received to either letter, due diligence phone calls begin at 17 days delinquent.
2. Delinquency/Default Letter Production: While most borrowers will pay without much
individual attention, delinquencies will rise because some borrowers, left alone, will fall into
poor paying habits. Therefore, letters of varying tone and composition will be sent at 15, 30
and 45 and 90 days past the payment due date. The 45-day letter will include the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) mandated notification informing the borrower of the
available loss mitigation options. The 90-day letter will detail for the borrower possible
escalated collection activity up to and including foreclosure. The letters emphasize the
seriousness of the situation, the potential for loss of the borrower's property, and demands
immediate payment.
3. Due Diligence Phone Calls: Telephone calls will be placed to all mortgage loan borrowers in
accordance with CFPB guidance and best practices. We will attempt to establish live contact
with the borrower beginning at the 17th day of delinquency with a good faith goal of
establishing contact with the borrower by the 36th day of delinquency. We will make one or
more subsequent attempts to contact the borrower every 30 days thereafter. Telephone contact
offers several advantages: it demands attention; it interrupts other activity; it establishes a
personal communication; and it requires immediate response. The objective of the call is to
secure or demand prompt payment, obtain information needed to determine the reason for the
delinquency, and to gain a commitment for future payments.
4. Credit Reporting: AmeriNat will report to the credit bureaus any borrower payment activity
on a monthly basis.
5. Confirmation Letters: Contact with borrowers is used to solicit commitments to repay past due
amounts. A borrower will be provided with the opportunity to bring the loan current
immediately, and within six months. Once a commitment is gained, AmeriNat will forward a
confirmation letter to document both the call and the commitment. The revised payment plan
of no greater than six month's duration is then implemented. Default under this plan may cause
AmeriNat to recommend foreclosure.
The collection letters and telephone outreach that has been done has, and will continue, to
impact delinquencies. However, there are additional steps that can also be impactful to the
portfolio performance, including repayment plans and forbearance agreements and loan
MAMERINAT
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
modifications. AmeriNat is able to offer all of those services to the City and looks forward to
developing a program for their implementation, as well as discussing viable alternatives.
Forbearance Plans
Formal forbearance plans are typically used for defaults of 90+ days. A forbearance plan of less
than six months duration is executed by the borrower and immediately implemented by AmeriNat,
with notice immediately provided to the City. Formal modifications to promissory note terms and
forbearance plans of greater than six months duration are forwarded to the City for pre -approval.
Before the borrower executes the agreement, the City is requested to approve the plan.
Once approved, AmeriNat will implement the new payment schedule. Should a borrower default
from the new payment schedule without cause, AmeriNat will recommend foreclosure.
Forbearance Evaluation Process: A hardship is defined as a situation or set of events or
circumstances beyond the normal control of the borrower that prohibits the borrower from adhering
to a planned repayment schedule. If a borrower states, either verbally or in writing, that a hardship
situation exists, AmeriNat will document the circumstances and provide the following:
i. Letter from borrower requesting the City's consideration of hardship
ii. Nature of the hardship
iii. Expected duration of the hardship
iv. Evidence to substantiate hardship
V. Forbearance Plan Proposal
If the City approves the Forbearance Plan Proposal and executes the agreement with the borrower,
AmeriNat will resume loan servicing under the new payment plan. The file will be tickled for
follow-up at the expiration of the temporary plan.
AmeriNat's objective is to formulate a plan to bring the loan current as soon as possible. However,
in light of the City's original purpose in making these loans (to assist the low/moderate income
and disadvantaged citizens of its community), AmeriNat may recommend forbearance plans that
defer all or part of the regular repayments for a specified period of time.
Loan Modification Analysis
1. Preliminary Screening_ When contact with the borrower indicates a short-term forbearance
agreement will not be enough to bring the account current, and initial assessment of the
Borrower's circumstances indicate the Borrower may possibly be eligible for an available loss
mitigation option, Borrower will be encouraged to submit a loss mitigation application.
2. Application: Upon receipt of a loss mitigation application, AmeriNat will review the
application to determine supporting materials are present and that the forms are complete.
Support materials may include but are not limited to, paycheck stubs, W-2's, Federal Tax
Returns, bank statements, mortgage statements, property tax bills and insurance policies. Once
VdAMERINAT
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
the application is reviewed and found to be complete, a credit report and escrow analysis are
ordered, as applicable, and the application is submitted to underwriting
3. Analysis and Recommendation: Underwriting of the application is performed using the City's
eligibility criteria. This analysis will reflect information such as ability to repay or affordability
(debt -to -income ratio), status of V mortgage, and occupancy. Based on the aforementioned,
the recommendation will convey whether it is reasonable to proceed with the modification and
what type of modification will best suit the needs of the borrower and City. The
recommendation along with the supporting documentation will be sent to City for approval.
4. Approval: Once a loan modification has been approved, AmeriNat shall prepare and forward
the required documents to the borrower for signature and recording, unless City retains these
functions. After the documents have been executed, originals will be retained by City and
copies will be promptly sent to AmeriNat along with any funds required for escrow, legal fees,
etc.
After receipt of executed modification documents and required funds, AmeriNat will make the
appropriate modifications to the loan, send the borrower new payment coupons, if applicable,
and electronically notate the account. All respective modification documentation will be
retained in the electronic loan file.
Loan Foreclosure
The mortgage transaction and all collections efforts are predicated on the assumption that the
borrower is motivated and able to meet the mortgage obligation. A decision to foreclose is based
on an analysis of an individual loan. We will look at the borrower with particular emphasis on
basic motivation, ability to pay; and attitude or level of cooperation. If a borrower has been
uncooperative, non -responsive, or unwilling to cure the existing default by all reasonable means,
AmeriNat will recommend foreclosure.
This step is generally not taken until after a loan becomes over 120 days delinquent. Upon the
City's approval, and in accordance with respective local, state and federal statutes, AmeriNat will
send the borrower a notice of intent to foreclose/demand letter, with a copy to the City. If no
response is received within 30 days, AmeriNat will advise the City of the non -response. Upon the

Customer Service:
AmeriNat has six defined corporate -wide goals that align with the company's
vision/mission/philosophy and values. The first of those goals is to "strengthen
customer relationships." We are a "customer driven" service firm. Our staff
and departments are organized to provide the highest level of attention to each
customer and borrower as possible, and to reach a satisfactory outcome for each
inquiry as soon as possible.
Customer service and collection staff is available by telephone through our toll -
free number at (800) 943-1988 between the hours of 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM
Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. AmeriNat also has an automated
voicemail system available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is our firm's policy
that all calls/emails are responded to within 24 hours.
Borrowers can also easily reach our representatives via email from our website.
Our borrower services departments in each of our offices consist of experienced
staff working side by side with other departments. In the rare occasion they
cannot answer a question for a borrower directly, their supervisor, manager or
a coworker are right there to assist them. AmeriNat treats all written inquiries
as "Qualified Written Requests" under the Real Estate Settlement Procedures
Act (RESPA).
All contact with the client and borrower is captured and notated in the loan
servicing system and is available for inquiry or review. Tasks are logged,
VdAMERINAT 27
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
monitored and evaluated for completion. In addition, all phone calls are
recorded. The recordings are reviewed by management for quality control and
training purposed, and we will query the system for particular customer calls
for clients who might wish to review a particular call or when we have reason
to delve further into certain specifics.
Both the borrowers and the City will have 24-hour electronic access to their
loan information via AmeriNat's Website at www.amerinatls.com. The website
offers our clients a secure, quick and convenient method of accessing all
pertinent loan level data, including borrower information, payment history,
outstanding current principal balance, escrow account balance and
disbursements, and form 1098 information. In addition, the City will be able to
access the pertinent loan information online, including transaction history,
payments posted, interest paid to date, next payment due date, late charge
assessment dates and balances, and payoff amounts with per diem, among other
items.
As a customer -driven service organization, AmeriNat strives to provide the
highest level of customer service to its clients and borrowers on each and every
interaction. A Client Services Center is available to serve the specific needs of
clients, and a Borrower Services Center is in place to service the specific needs
of borrowers. These departments are staffed with trained and experienced
representatives who are able to address questions or needs of our clients and
borrowers.
b. Inform customers any potential payment fees (e.g. credit card fees)
AmeriNat's lists all payment option fees on our LoanLink website. Customer
Service representatives also disclose all applicable fees to borrowers before a
payment transaction is processed. Additionally, customers receive a list of
applicable fees with their annual coupon book.
4. Provide the City with following sample documents. The borrower's names
and confidential information may be blacked out or sample documents may
be drawn in a fictitious name:
a. Letter of introduction to borrowers, also known as the welcome letter
b. Payment coupon or statement
c. Demand letter for payoff
d. Delinquency notice
AmeriNat has provided sample letters in Exhibit E of this proposal.
5. Provide the City with samples of monthly reports sent to loan originators,
including, but not limited to:
FdAMERINAT 28
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
a. Balance information payment processing
b. Payoffs received
c. Past due loans
d. Insurance monitoring
The City prefers the reports be sent via electronic means each month and
please state in the RFP if your company has the ability to do that.
AmeriNat has provided samples of our standard month end reports in Exhibit E of
this proposal. Soft -copy reports are sent to the City in addition to the electronic
reporting available online through our LoanLink service. Through LoanLink, the
City has unlimited access to account and portfolio data, and can view the
information as well as generate reports that can be downloaded into Excel.
6. Other
a. Does your company have the ability for a customer to make a payment
over the phone? If so, briefly explain the process and the fee.
AmeriNat has the ability to take payments through "check -by -phone".
Borrowers call our 800 number and are guided through menu options to a
customer service representative who will process their payment. Borrowers
must have their loan account number and their checking account and ABA
routing number available. The fee for this service is $14.00 per payment.
This is a beneficial transaction when the borrower is trying to avoid a late
fee when they forgot to make their payment, but AmeriNat encourages ACH
payments as a more economical (and mutually beneficial) method of
making payments. Online payment options are also available, as explained
below.
b. Does your company have the ability for a customer to enter a company
website and pay the payment electronically via the internet? If so,
briefly explain the process and the fee.
AmeriNat's online payment option is available through our LoanLink
system. Borrowers log on to their account and click on the "Make Online
Payments" link. The following online payment options are available:
• Electronic check transaction (eCheck): Borrowers can make a one-time
payment using their checking account. They simply input their bank's
routing number and checking account number. The fee for this service
is $1.70 per payment.
• Debit card payment: Borrowers can make a one-time payment using
their debit card. The fee for this service is $16.25 per payment.
FdAMERINAT 29
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
7. Describe the level and types of insurance carried, including the deductible
amount, to cover errors and omissions, improper judgement, or negligence.
AmeriNat has a broad package of insurance coverage in place to provide
protection for AmeriNat and its clients, including business liability of
$1,000,000 per occurrence and umbrella liability of $5,000,000 per occurrence;
a mortgage bond (fidelity bond) in the amount of $13,500,000; errors and
omissions liability in the amount of $4,000,000; management liability insurance
of $5,000,000; workers compensation of $1,000,000 per accident; cyber
liability insurance of $3,000,000, along with automobile, personal property and
other standard coverages.
8. Any other information that may assist the City is making its selection.
There are many loan servicing firms across the country, but very few that specialize
in the affordable housing and economic development arena. AmeriNat has
unapparelled experience with government funded loans. That specialty is one we
are very loyal to, and it enables us to provide consistent value to our clients. Based
upon the experience gained from working closely with other government agencies,
we have a thorough understanding of the unique needs specific to the industry. This
experience has enabled us to provide programs tailored to meet the requirements of
our valued clients.
Our uniqueness is complemented by our size. We are large enough to be very good
and efficient at what we do, and yet are small enough that we operate with the
flexibility of a small firm — each of our customers is very important to us and our
continued growth and success.
Our customers especially appreciate the value of LoanLink. They've come to view
this internet tool as vital to their ability to receive any amount of detail on their
portfolio at, literally, any time. This truly allows our clients to feel like they have
an in-house system, but with none of the responsibilities that go along with in-house
servicing of a loan portfolio. At the same time, they appreciate that their borrowers
gain this same benefit from LoanLink, and all free of charge to either the City or
their borrowers.
Our customers also gain the protection from a regulated environment. We have a
strong audit and compliance program in place, and also provide a comprehensive
package of insurance coverage in place that is designed to meet or exceed the City's
requirements.
Our philosophy and values are built around the industry we work in. Specifically,
our philosophy centers on ethics, customer service, technology and innovation, and
our employees and shareholders. We operate with honesty, integrity, and trust. We
strive for outstanding customer satisfaction and engagement. We are creative with
technology and continue to innovate our systems to bring efficiencies to our clients
FdAMERiNAT 30
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
and the ultimate benefactors of our services. We deliver on our commitments by
empowering and challenging our employees to thrive in a demanding and rewarding
environment, ensuring an acceptable return on investment to our shareholders.
FdAMERwAT 31
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
Exhibit B - Piggyback Option
Per section 10.20 of the City's RFP, Bidders are to indicate whether they will extend the same
pricing structure to other local and State agencies and for what length of time. AmeriNat's pricing
is based on many determining factors, including our client's particular needs and the health of each
loan portfolio we service, as such, we will not guarantee the same pricing structure to other local
and State agencies.
MAMERwAT 32
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
Exhibit C — Exceptions to Professional Services
Agreement
AmeriNat has the following exceptions to the City's Professional Services Agreement included as
Attachment D of the RFP:
/ Section 6.3 Key Personnel. Should it become necessary for AmeriNat to replace a key staff
member assigned to the City's portfolio, AmeriNat will seek the City's approval of such
replacement; however, we are unable to seek written approval before any said change or
substitution can become effective.
/ Section 6.7 Assienment. AmeriNat would like to add the following language to this
paragraph: "Consultant shall not voluntarily or by operation of law assign, transfer, sublet,
or encumber all or any party of Consultant's interest in this Agreement without City's prior
written consent, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld."
/ Section 6.8 Indemnification and Hold Harmless. AmeriNat would like to add the following
language to this paragraph: "Contractor's liability under this paragraph is limited to the
amount Contractor has been paid in servicing fees under the program."
/ Section 6.9 Independent Contractor. AmeriNat would like to replace all references to
Independent Contractor to "Independent Party" throughout this section.
/ AmeriNat requests that the following additional terms be included in the Agreement:
Force Majeure: Any delays in or failure of performance by either party, except in
respect of the obligation of payments under this Agreement, shall not constitute default
of this Agreement, if and to the extent such delays or failures are caused by
occurrence(s) beyond the reasonable control of the party affected, and which by the
exercise of due diligence such party is unable to prevent, such occurrence(s) including
but not limited to: acts of God, sabotage, war, acts of terrorism, riots, insurrections,
civil unrest, riots, embargoes, strikes, lockouts, fires, floods, tornados, hurricanes or
other natural disaster or governmental actions. In any such event, the party claiming
Force Majeure shall promptly notify the other party of the nature of the event in
writing, and, if reasonably possible, such notice shall set forth the extent and duration
thereof and shall resume performance at the earliest possible date.
Penalties and Assessments Related to 1098 and/or 1099 Reporting: Consultant will
submit the required 1098 and/or 1099 forms to the Internal Revenue Service as
required. If the loan data provided by the City does not include a valid social security
number for a borrower(s), Consultant will exercise all reasonable means to obtain such
valid social security number(s). Consultant will also notify the City, at a minimum of
one time annually, of any missing or invalid social security numbers which remain
outstanding. If the lack of an available and/or valid social security number(s) results in
a penalty or fine assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, the City will be notified of
VdAMERwAf 33
AmeriNat Proposal to Provide Services
the amount of the penalty and fine and will immediately reimburse Consultant for any
such penalty or fine paid or to be paid.
Anti -Money Laundering: The Consultant agrees to perform its services in accordance
with established policies and procedures designed to detect, prevent, and mitigate the
risk of money laundering, terrorist financing or other crimes. Such policies and
procedures are available for review by the City on their request. The City is responsible
for OFAC screening of borrowers prior to loan origination to ensure they do not appear
on the U.S. Department of Treasury's "Specially Designated Nationals List (SDN)
(htto://www.treasury. gov/resource-center/sanctions/SDN-List/Pages/default.asox),
and for compliance with Anti -Money Laundering program requirements of 31 U.S.C.
§ 5318(h), or other directives that may relate to the appropriate verification of borrower
identity to ensure the prohibition of transactions with certain foreign countries and/or
their nationals. The City also agrees to immediately notify Consultant if it becomes
aware of any of its borrowers being added to the SDN during the term of this agreement.
Protection of Nonpublic Personal Information: Consultant performs its services in
accordance with established policies and procedures designed to provide for adequate
privacy, protection, security and confidentiality of consumer information. The City
acknowledges its obligation under the Gramm -Leach -Bliley Act 15 USC 6801 and
confirms that it adheres to the provisions of this regulation and related guidance,
including issuance of the proper privacy notices to its customers.
Survival: Terms and conditions of this Agreement, which by their sense and context
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement, shall so survive.

Board of Directors
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary
Albert Lea, Minnesota
Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of AmeriNational Community
Services, LLC and Subsidiary (the Company), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial
condition as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in members' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated
financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in
order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, we express
no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinion.

Board of Directors
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary as of
December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then
ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements
as a whole. The supplemental schedules required by HUD, as required by HUD, are presented for
purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the consolidated financial statements.
Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the
underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The
information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated
financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such
information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated
financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional
procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated
financial statements as a whole.
Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing Standards
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our reports dated March 16,
2019, on our consideration of AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary's internal control
over financial reporting and on our tests of compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations,
contracts, and grant agreements and other matters. The purpose of those reports are to describe the
scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that
testing, and not provide an opinion on the internal control over financial reporting or on compliance.
Those reports are an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing
Standards in considering AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary's internal control
over financial reporting and compliance.

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Nature of Operations
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC, dba: AmeriNat, (the Company) is a Limited
Liability Company (LLC) operating under Chapter 322C of the Minnesota Statutes.
The Company provides loan servicing and other various fee -based financial and compliance
services.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AmeriNational Community
Services, LLC (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, AmeriNat Loan Services,
Inc., a loan servicing company that provides services to accounts in California. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term
include the valuation of mortgage servicing rights and the determination of the allowance for
uncollectible accounts.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
include cash and balances due from banks.
Accounts Receivable, Net
The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable.
The allowance is sufficient to cover both current and anticipated future losses. Uncollectible
amounts are charged against the allowance account. Management estimated an allowance
of $32,042 and $37,132 based upon prior experience with customers and analysis of
individual accounts at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
The Company offers most customers net 30-day terms. In special situations, the Company
may offer extended terms or discounts to selected customers. Accounts are considered past
due when invoices become 30 days past terms. Fees from clients are received either via
deduction from investor remittances or through payment of invoices.

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Premises and Equipment, Net
Land is carried at cost. Other premises and equipment are carried at cost, net of
accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method based
principally on the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are
expensed as incurred and major additions and improvements are capitalized. Gains and
losses on dispositions are included in current operations.
Servicing Rights
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through
purchases or when new contracts to service loans are entered into. Capitalized servicing
rights are recorded at fair value, with changes in fair value reported into income during the
year in which they occur.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense charged to operations for
the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $14,175 and $12,675, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
The Company sets up contracts with the customers determining when they will be billed for
servicing. Customers are billed periodically when the services or a percentage of the
services have been performed. Loan servicing and financial service income is recognized
when earned.
Income Taxes
The Company is not a tax paying entity for federal income tax purposes, however, the
Company is subject to state franchise fees or income taxes.
The Company has evaluated its tax positions and determined that it has no uncertain tax
positions as of December 31, 2018 or 2017.
Fair Value Measurements
The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three -level
hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique used to determine fair
value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs
(Level 3). If the inputs used in the determination of the fair value measurement fall within
different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is
significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities valued at fair value are
categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 — Inputs that utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

NOTE 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fair Value Measurements (Continued)
Level 2 — Inputs that include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active
markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Fair values for these
instruments are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar
characteristics, or discounted cash flows.
Level 3 — Inputs that are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically
based on an entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company may remeasure the carrying value of assets
and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis to fair value. Adjustments to fair value
usually result when certain assets are impaired. Such assets are written down from their
carrying amounts to their fair value.
Professional standards allow entities the irrevocable option to elect to measure certain
financial instruments and other items at fair value for the initial and subsequent
measurement on an instrument -by -instrument basis. The Company adopted the policy to
value certain financial instruments at fair value.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB approved ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(Topic 606). The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of
goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an
entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also
requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of
revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and
quantitative disclosures are required regarding customer contracts, significant judgments
and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a
contract. The standard will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods
beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating
the impact of the amended revenue recognition guidance on the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB approved ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU is
designed to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing
lease assets and lease liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition and
disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The ASU is effective for the
Company for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within
the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02 on the consolidated financial
statements.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured
at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such instruments
pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Servicing Rights
Servicing rights, both assets and liabilities, are valued using a discounted cash flow
methodology, and are classified within Level 3. The Company determines fair value for the
servicing rights by projecting future cash flows using prepayment rates and other
assumptions. The actual discount rate used at December 31, 2018 and 2017 was 9.87%.
Contract periods and the associated cash flow projections were estimated based upon
contract terms and renewal histories, which were estimated between three and eight years.
There is minimal observable market activity for the Company's servicing assets on
comparable portfolios, therefore, the determination of fair value requires significant
management judgement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS
THAT COULD HAVE A DIRECT AND MATERIAL EFFECT ON EACH

COMPLIANCE REQUIRED BY THE CONSOLIDATED AUDIT
GUIDE FOR AUDITS OF HUD PROGRAMS
Board of Directors
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary
Albert Lea, Minnesota
Report on Compliance for Each Major HUD Program
We have audited AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary's compliance with the
compliance requirements described in the Consolidated Audit Guide for Audits of HUD Programs (the
Guide) that could have a direct and material effect on each of AmeriNational Community Services, LLC
and Subsidiary's major U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) programs for the
year ended December 31, 2018. AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary's major HUD
programs and the related direct and material compliance requirements are as follows:
Name of Major HUD Programs
Direct and Material Compliance Requirements
FHA Lending
Quality Control Plan; Loan Servicing, Lender Annual
Recertification, Adjusted Net Worth, Liquidity and Licensing, Title
II Lenders (Escrow Accounts)
Management's Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and
grants applicable to its HUD programs.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of AmeriNational Community
Services, LLC and Subsidiary's major HUD programs based on our audit of the compliance
requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial
audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United
States; and the Guide. Those standards and the Guide require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the compliance requirements referred
to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major HUD program occurred. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and
Subsidiary's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major HUD
program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of AmeriNational Community Services,
LLC and Subsidiary's compliance.

Opinion on Each Major HUD Program
In our opinion, AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary complied, in all material respects,
with the compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of
its major HUD programs for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Report on Internal Control Over Compliance
Management of AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary is responsible for establishing
and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with the compliance requirements referred to
above. In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered AmeriNational Community
Services, LLC and Subsidiary's internal control over compliance with the requirements that could have a
direct and material effect on each major HUD program to determine the auditing procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major
HUD program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Guide, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of AmeriNational Community Services, LLC
and Subsidiary's internal control over compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over
compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned
functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a compliance requirement of a HUD
program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility
that material noncompliance with a compliance requirement of a HUD program will not be prevented, or
detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a
deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a compliance
requirement of a HUD program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over
compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first
paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control over
compliance that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However,
material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing
of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of the Guide.
Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other purpose.

AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary
Albert Lea, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards
issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the consolidated financial statements of
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated statement of
financial condition as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income,
changes in members' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the
consolidated financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated March 16, 2019.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit of the consolidated financial statements, we considered
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary's internal control over financial reporting
(internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the
purpose of expressing our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and
Subsidiary's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of
AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and Subsidiary's internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or
detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of the entity's consolidated financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in
internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by
those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this
section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material
weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any
deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Compliance and Other Matters
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether AmeriNational Community Services, LLC and
Subsidiary's consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement, we performed tests
of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts, and grant agreements,
noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial
statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an
objective of our audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests
disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under
Government Auditing Standards.
Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

We are concerned to see that your first payment on your new mortgage has not yet been received. Of course, prompt payment each
month is the best way to protect your credit rating.
For your information, loans secured by real property (such as your home) have the following terms and definitions. A loan is
considered delinquent if the payment is not received by the due date. The loan is subject to a late charge after the grace period,
(please see your loan documents). If a loan becomes due for two (2) payments (two months delinquent), it is considered in default
and may be subject to possible acceleration of the total balance owing on the Note. Please DISREGARD this notice if your loan
is currently setup on an ACH repayment method.
As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a
credit reporting agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.
This communication is from a debt collector and it is for the purpose of collecting a debt and any information obtained will

A review of our records indicates that your loan payment has not been received and is now subject to a late charge. The Deed of

addition, your next monthly installment will be due soon. Allowing your loan to become delinquent for two (2) months may
subject your loan to further collection efforts. There is a $0.00 unapplied balance, which can be used towards your current

Legal Rights and Protections Under the SCRA
Servicemembers Civil Relief U.S Department of Housing and OMB Approval 2502 - 0584
Act Notice Disclosure Urban Development Office of Housing Exp 3/31/2021
Servicemembers on "active duty" or "active service," or a spouse or dependent of such a servicemember may be entitled to certain
legal protections and debt relief pursuant to the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (50 USC §§ 3901--4043) (SCRA).
Who May Be Entitled to Legal Protections Under the SCRA?
• Regular members of the U.S. Armed Forces (Army, Navy, Air Force Marine Corps and Coast Guard).
• Reserve and National Guard personnel who have been activated and are on Federal active duty
• National Guard personnel under a call or order to active duty for more than 30 consecutive days under section 502(f) of title
32, United States Code, for purposes of responding to a national emergency declared by the President and supported by
Federal funds
• Active service members of the commissioned corps of the Public Health Service and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration.
• Certain United States citizens serving with the armed forces of a nation with which the United States is allied in the
prosecution of a war or military action.
What Legal Protections Are Service -members Entitled To Under the SCRA?
• The SCRA states that a debt incurred by a servicemember, or servicemember and spouse jointly, prior to entering military
service shall not bear interest at a rate above 6 % during the period of military service and one year thereafter, in the case of
an obligation or liability consisting of a mortgage, trust deed, or other security in the nature of a mortgage, or during the
period of military service in the case of any other obligation or liability.
• The SCRA states that in a legal action to enforce a debt against real estate that is filed during, or within one year after the
servicemember's military service, a court may stop the proceedings for a period of time or adjust the debt. In addition, the
sale, foreclosure, or seizure of real estate shall not be valid if it occurs during or within one year after the servicemember's
military service unless the creditor has obtained a valid court order approving the sale, foreclosure, or seizure of the real
estate.
• The SCRA contains many other protections besides those applicable to home loans.
How Does A Service -member or Dependent Request Relief Under the SCRA?
• In order to request relief under the SCRA from loans with interest rates above 6% a servicemember or spouse must provide a

• There is no requirement under the SCRA, however, for a servicemember to provide a written notice or a copy of a
servicemember's military orders to the lender in connection with a foreclosure or other debt enforcement action against real
estate. Under these circumstances, lenders should inquire about the military status of a person by searching the Department of
Defense's Defense Manpower Data Center's website, contacting the servicemember, and examining their files for indicia of
military service. Although there is no requirement for servicemembers to alert the lender of their military status in these
situations, it still is a good idea for the servicemember to do so.
How Does a Service -member or Dependent Obtain Information About the SCRA?
• Servicemembers and dependents with questions about the SCRA should contact their unit's Judge Advocate, or their
installation's Legal Assistance Officer. A military legal assistance office locator for all branches of the Armed Forces is
available at http://legalassistance.law.af.mil/content/locator.php
• "Military OneSource" is the U. S. Department of Defense's information resource. If you are listed as entitled to legal
protections under the SCRA (see above), please go to www.militaryonesource.mil/legal or call 1-800- 342-9647 (toll free

Options That May be Available to Avoid Foreclosure
AmeriNat is committed to helping you keep your property and your mortgage in good standing. If you are having difficulties
making your mortgage payment, we strongly encourage you to call our Loss Mitigation Department so that we may assess your
financial situation and explore your options to avoid foreclosure. One of the main reasons foreclosures occur is that homeowners
facing financial difficulties stop communicating with the company that collects their mortgage payment. In most cases, if a
homeowner is willing to work with that company, that company will consider every option available to assist that homeowner.
Some of the options which may be available to you are:
• Reinstatement -You have the option of paying the total amount that is past due by an agreed -upon date and if unable to do so
you can discuss a repayment plan with your loan servicer.
• Repayment Plan - This arrangement allows for an alternative payment amount to be made over a prescribed period of time in
order to bring your mortgage current. A typical repayment plan may require paying a full payment each month, plus a partial
payment on the delinquent amount, until such time that the entire delinquent amount is completely paid.
• Loan Modification - This is a way to bring a mortgage loan current by modifying or restructuring the respective mortgage
loan to accommodate a homeowner's financial situation that has changed since the loan was originally made. This typically
entails changing the repayment terms to make the mortgage payment more affordable. The changes that may be available to
you are specific to your existing loan terms and will be discussed with you during your interview with our staff member.
• Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure - A Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure is where you transfer ownership of your property to the lender
in exchange for being forgiven the entire amount of the mortgage and avoiding going through the foreclosure process.
• Short Sale A short sale is a sale of real estate in which the proceeds from selling the property will fall short of the balance of
debts secured by liens against the property, and the property owner cannot afford to repay the liens' full amounts and where
the lien holders agree to release their lien on the real estate and accept less than the amount owed on the debt. Any unpaid
balance owed to the creditors is known as a deficiency balance. Check your local and state laws governing the liability of a
deficiency balance owed to your creditor.
The first and easiest step towards determining if we can help you avoid foreclosure and keep your property is to place a toll free
call to our Loss Mitigation department at 1-800-943-1988 between the hours of 8:00 5:00 PST Mon -Fri. By reaching out to us, a
member of our staff will listen to your situation and gather all pertinent information necessary to explore the options that may be
available to you. The sooner you call us, the faster we'll know if and how we can help you.
In order to commence the initial assessment of your financial situation, when you contact our office, please have the following
information and financial documents available for each Borrower on the mortgage:
• Loan number
• The nature and expected duration of your hardship situation.
• Supporting documentation for all income sources: 2 most recent paycheck stubs, YTD Profit & Loss (if self-employed),
Social Security / SSDI, Unemployment, Welfare, etc.
• An itemization of monthly household expenses and debt.
• Amount of assets: Bank account balances - checking and savings, CD's, stocks / bonds, etc.
Once we've learned your situation, our staff will guide you through the preparation and submittal of any additional documentation
that may be required to formally complete your financial assessment. Please note: If you ever receive a call or a letter from us
about your past -due mortgage, the best thing to do is immediately take the call or respond to the letter in order to focus on
resolving the problem. We will always attempt to work with you, but we will need your cooperation to do so.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development offers counseling for homeowners whose mortgage loans have become
delinquent. This counseling could help you avoid foreclosure and you are urged to seek it. To find a homeownership counseling

If you have been discharged from personal liability on the mortgage because of bankruptcy proceedings and have not
reaffirmed the mortgage, or if you are the subject of a pending bankruptcy proceeding, this letter is not an attempt to
collect a debt from you but merely provides informational notice regarding the status of the loan. If an attorney represents
you with respect to your mortgage, please forward this document to your attorney.
