UT state processing guide
Contract Mortgage Processing in Utah
My Loan Flow supports Utah mortgage brokers with wholesale file setup, submission, condition, and closing coordination. Utah Housing files receive a first- and second-mortgage control plan covering the current program matrix, PowerLender documents, DPA note and deed, delivery checklist, endorsements, insurance, and FHA assistance documentation when applicable.
Coverage is based on company-supplied information and remains subject to engagement-level licensing, lender, product, activity, and compliance confirmation.
How do you process a Utah Housing first mortgage with a DPA second?
Confirm the Utah Housing participating lender, current first-mortgage program, DPA option, reservation and lock details, borrower and property eligibility, education requirement, and lender overlays. The first mortgage and DPA second are coordinated as one closing plan but documented and reconciled as separate obligations.
- Use the current Utah Housing program matrix and selling supplement for the selected FHA, VA, or conventional path.
- Reconcile the assistance amount, rate and payment terms, subordinate lien, and borrower funds across the LOS, PowerLender, and lender portal.
- Track both notes, both security instruments, disclosures, title instructions, and funding figures before documents are released.
Which Utah Housing documents should come from PowerLender?
Utah Housing says its required program, DPA, grant, and assistance documents can be prepared in the PowerLender processing, purchasing, and Lock-A-Rate application. Using the program-generated documents helps reduce missing or incorrect forms; any alternate document-preparation path must still follow current Utah Housing requirements.
- Generate the file-specific Utah Housing and DPA documents from the authorized system when the lender workflow calls for it.
- Verify names, vesting, property, loan amounts, dates, program selection, and assistance terms before sending documents to settlement.
- Keep a version-controlled closing checklist so superseded forms are not mixed into the signed package.
How do you deliver Utah Housing DPA documents without creating an audit finding?
Utah Housing’s published requirements direct lenders to upload documents through its restricted delivery portal and use the applicable Form 144 checklist and stacking order. Its FHA guidance also identifies the MPA page containing required government-assistance wording and Utah Housing’s legal opinion letter for the FHA insuring package when DPA is used.
- Choose the current Form 144 checklist for the actual first-mortgage product and deliver before the applicable deadline.
- Verify required endorsements on the first and second notes and confirm insurance and MERS information against current instructions.
- For FHA with Utah Housing DPA, confirm the current FHA insuring-package documents with the lender; do not assume the closing package automatically contains them.
