Questions brokers ask.

Are high-balance loans eligible?

No. The guide requires the loan amount to exceed the applicable agency limit for the county and property type. High-balance loans are not eligible.

What does a declining market change?

An appraiser-noted declining market reduces maximum leverage by 10%. Apply that adjustment with the other matrix requirements.
