Importance of True & Certify
Avoid loan purchase delays by completing the True & Certify process as soon as your loan has closed. The information in Minnesota Housing's commitment system must match the closed loan file, so verify the information in our system is correct before completing the True & Certify. Review the file information, including:
- Minnesota Housing program eligibility income and loan qualifying income
- Correct AUS findings matching locked commitment system
- Product and/or program for first and second mortgage, if applicable
- Property value and loan amounts
- Loan officer name and NMLS# are listed
- All borrower and co-signers listed correctly
Once all information has been verified, check the box to complete the True & Certify process in the Minnesota Housing commitment system. Upload the closed loan file for both the commitment system and U.S. Bank Home Mortgage - HFA Division.
