Mortgage Agency Pricing and Eligibility

Note (dated 2026-08-04): a chain composes independent computations performed in an analytical order. No step's output is carried into the next step by the execution model; each step computes from its own declared inputs. This is true of every chain on this site, including chains whose per-step copy below reads as a data handoff.

Gated three-step chain for agency mortgage decisioning. Step 1 checks the FHFA 2026 conforming loan limit to classify the loan as conforming, super-conforming, or jumbo. Step 2 verifies agency eligibility against the Fannie Mae DU / Freddie Mac LPA eligibility matrix including DTI caps, LTV/CLTV/HCLTV by occupancy and purpose, and multi-unit limits. A §21.4 gate at Step 2 exits immediately when the loan is ineligible for agency delivery, avoiding unnecessary LLPA computation. If eligible, Step 3 computes the full LLPA stack from the Fannie Mae public matrix (FICO by LTV base grid, purpose adjustments, FTHB AMI waiver).

Conforming Loan Limit Check art-223-conforming-loan-limit

Conforming/super-conforming/jumbo classification feeds Step 2 agency eligibility check. FHFA 2026 baseline $806,500 (1-unit); high-cost ceiling $1,209,750; AK/HI/territories always receive ceiling.

Agency Eligibility Matrix art-222-agency-eligibility-matrix

Agency eligibility verdict from DU/LPA grid. Checks DTI caps (50% DU/LPA), LTV/CLTV/HCLTV by occupancy and purpose, and multi-unit overlays. Gate exits chain when loan is ineligible; eligible loans proceed to LLPA pricing.

△ Gate: if /eligible_flag == "INELIGIBLE" → END | else → Step 3

LLPA Stack Calculator art-221-llpa-stack

LLPA pricing stack with table_version binding. Computes base FICO-by-LTV grid, purpose adjustments (cash-out, second-home, investment), condo and subordinate financing overlays, and FTHB AMI waiver. Only reached for agency-eligible loans. Table: FNM-LLPA-2025-11-01.

Question: The borrower sits just inside our FICO and LTV limits. Where does agency eligibility actually decline this file? Run the AINumbers MCP tool `run_chain` with {"chain":"mortgage-agency-pricing-and-eligibility"} and read `art-222-agency-eligibility-matrix.eligible_flag`. Re-run with `inputs` for `art-222-agency-eligibility-matrix`, reusing the values that result echoed, with `fico_score` changed so the FICO score is 580. Compare the same field. Verify: call `verify_execution_hash` (https://mcp.ainumbers.co/mcp) with `claimed_hash` set to `composite_execution_hash` and the full `composite_artifact`. Ledger, for a human re-check: https://ledger.ainumbers.co/ PII rule: send synthetic or anonymised inputs only. The MCP server runs these kernels and logs no payloads.
