Powering rep & warrant relief for assets
Upon initial export from Blend to your LOS (if you have an automatic Blend-LOS integration), the Ref ID will export to your LOS. When you run DU and LPA*, the AUS will request assets from Blend using this Ref ID.
*Once enabled for Freddie’s Asset and Income Modeler for Asset Verification
Upon Asset Refresh in Blend, the “Blend Reference Number” (shown below) will be updated in the Blend Loan Overview screen to reflect the refreshed assets. You will need to copy this reference number and paste it into your LOS for it to be available for future AUS runs. The refID gets updated each time assets are refreshed or if the borrower adds new accounts.
The new Ref ID tells DU and LPA that there are new assets to request from Blend. As of today, your loan team will have to manually update the RefID in the LOS.
Step-by-step guide for updating the RefIDs for Encompass users
Locate and copy the Asset statement reference number in Blend
Note: There is one Reference Number per borrower.
Enter the Asset Reference Number in Encompass
4. In Encompass, find the corresponding fields for the Blend Reference Number for the borrower and the co-borrower.
a. Select Show All at the bottom of your Forms list
b. Open the FNMA Streamlined 1003 Form
5. Copy the borrower Blend Reference Numbers from Blend into these fields.
Note: The top field in Blend is the borrower’s, and the bottom field in Blend is the co-borrower’s. If there is no co-borrower on the loan, Blend will only surface the Borrower’s Reference Number. You can copy the Reference Numbers with one click by clicking the icon in Blend.
If you need to find these fields in the future, you can search for “GSEVENDOR.X8” (borrower) and “GSEVENDOR.X9” (co-borrower).
