Suntrust Pmi Removal

[DTB]

Does anyone have a contact or specific instructions from them regarding PMI removal. A friend is looking to do this but I advised to follow specific instructions, that I would also try to locate.

Thanks

No specific instructions.
No UAD required.
The client should be the homeowner, but the lender can hire an appraiser as a "defense" for maintaining PMI.
So being that your question was about removal,
The client and intended user is the home owner, with additional intended user of the specific lender.
SOW should follow what banks typically expect in an appraisal.
Do not use the per-printed URAR, but use the GP or AI form instead.
Sometimes attorney's hire for this also, so consider the attorney will be the client, and the users will be the bank and the owner.

Thanks, regarding appraisal.

They will contact Suntrust after appraisal is completed.

I've heard they can be difficult to deal with.

Anyone with a contact name would be much obliged.

I also know people that had a difficult time with that entity.

Have the appraiser cover all the bases, expect ST to also hire their own appraiser.

For best results, have HO contact cfpb, ask them for the contact at ST. Just adds more grins and seriousness to the situation. I know another homeowner that did just that, and bingo, the 16 months of delays got resolved in 3 days.

I think @Digger88 knows people at SunTrust.

From my experience each lender has a specific set of instructions to follow regarding PMI removal, and the instructions can vary greatly from lender to lender. So I wouldn't do anything until you get SunTrust's required SOW. Not sure why it would not go on a 1004 mortgage lending form, as the Intended Use is involved in Mortgage Lending?

bad move to order the appraisal first. If the loan is owned by the GSE's (which is pretty likely if Suntrust is the servicer), then the servicer must order the appraisal....thus, they are unlikely to consider an appraisal obtained by the borrower.

Thanks Tim,

They are trying to get out in front of potential complications regarding Suntrust. They have heard the horror stories.
Thus far the game plan looks like:
1. Calling Wintrust PMI Dept and pray all goes well.
2. Call CFPB and use a little muscle.
3. I get a direct contact from Digger 88, haven't heard back yet on that..


Thanks for all the responses!

There is no point in calling the CFPB beforehand, but that is certainly an option if they get stonewalled by the servicer.

Hopefully, Digger will provide you with a good contact.
