Updated Prepayment Penalty Availability on Simple Access Investment Properties

Homebridge is expanding the states that are available for the prepayment penalty option on the Simple Access program when the loan is secured by an investment property.

The states eligible for the prepayment penalty option has been expanded to include the following states (in addition to the current states of CA, FL, NY, and TX):

As a reminder, the following applies to the prepayment penalty option:

  • Available on all documentation options; not required
  • Investment properties only
  • A 1 year, 2 year, and 3 year prepay is available
  • The prepayment penalty applies when:
    • There is a full prepayment, or
    • Any payment within the preceding 12 months exceeds 20% of the original principal loan amount
  • The prepayment charge will equal 2.5% of the amount of the prepayment that exceeds 20% of the original principal loan amount

The prepayment penalty option is available in the additional states listed above effective April 2, 2021 on floating transactions

NOTE:  Loans locked prior to April 2, 2021 are not eligible to add the prepayment to the transaction if property is located in one of the additional states

The Simple Access guidelines have been updated and will be posted on the Homebridge website at www.HomebridgeWholesale.com
