The June Calyx Network Update (I-Update) took place last Monday, June 3.  If you are currently on Point 8.1, you may have seen some changes to a few printed forms.  These updates were necessary but are only available to users on the latest version of Point.

Here are the forms we updated:

  • VA Loan Analysis (VA 26-2693):  The form date was updated to comply with latest requirements
  • FHA Consumer Choice Disclosure Notice:   This form was updated to comply with HUD’s Monthly Insurance Premium changes
  • VA Loan Comparison: This form was changed to include the Lender Credit from Block 2 of the GFE in the Total Closing Cost charge in the Loan Comparison

It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane!

It’s Superman!

Who knew that today begins a four-day party known as Superman Days in Metropolis, IL?

Who knew there was a really a city called Metropolis?  Not me!

Superman Days is an annual event in Metropolis, IL.  It’s everything SUPERMAN!  It sounds like so much fun!  I can’t believe I never knew about it.  Not that I would make a special trip to Illinois to attend, but if by chance my company had an event near there, I’d be all over it.  Celebrities, shows, entertainment—it’s all there!

This year they’re going to try to set a new record for the Largest Gathering of People Dressed as Superman.  It only makes sense that the record return to the Home of Superman.  Right now the current record is held in Canada.  I wish the people of Metropolis the best of luck! It’s got to be great for business.  Can you image how crazy busy the local costume stores have been lately?

Who wants to go to Superman Days?

Updated FHA forms on June 3—Are you Ready?

May 29, 2013
BJ Bounds

BJ Bounds

In January, HUD came out with Mortgagee Letter 2013-04 which puts in place changes for FHA loans effective next Monday, June 3. For all FHA loans with case files assigned on or after June 3, 2013, Monthly Mortgage Insurance will be required for the life of the loan, or 11 years.  Mortgage Insurance premium amounts were also increased effective April, 2013.

In the Network Update scheduled for June 3, Calyx will automatically update the FHA Notice to Homebuyers (HUD-92900-B) and FHA Consumer Choice Disclosure Notice.  This forms update is automatic for all computers on Point 8.1, the most recent version.

If you have loans assigned an FHA case number prior to June 3rd, we recommend:

  • Printing the existing form from Point before June 3, or
  • Accessing the old disclosure form at Knowledge Base article #849. This article also includes information on additional steps you must take to ensure compliance with the new FHA Consumer Choice Disclosure Notice.

Computers on earlier versions of Point (prior to 8.1) will not receive the form update.  We strongly recommend you update to the latest version to remain in compliance with FHA.  Accounts on previous versions of Point can manually download the new form from the HUD website.

Call your account manager today at 800-362-2599  if you need to update your account.  If you have questions, please contact our Customer Support Group during our normal business hours, Monday – Friday 8am-7pm CDT at 800-342-2599 or support@calyxsoftware.com.
