• Assess mortgage origination practices, including underwriting standards, credit policies, appraisal processes, quality control frameworks, and exception management
• Evaluate compliance with applicable regulatory and investor requirements (e.g., consumer protection, licensing, servicing transfer readiness, and loan documentation standards)

• Evaluate mortgage servicing operations, including payment processing, escrow administration, default management, loss mitigation, foreclosure workflows, and servicing transfers
• Assess servicing controls related to data integrity, loan boarding, investor reporting, custodial relationships, and servicing advance management
• Review portfolio performance metrics, delinquency trends, modification activity, and servicing compliance practices

• Review advance formulas, concentration limits, ineligibility tracking, and collateral reconciliation processes
• Assess single‑family rental Specialty Lending Focus (SFR) platforms, including acquisition strategies, property management oversight, rent collection processes, and valuation controls
• Review business‑purpose lending (BPL) programs, including borrower underwriting, collateral evaluation, DSCR methodologies, and covenant compliance
• Evaluate builder and ground‑up construction loan portfolios, including draw controls, inspection processes, cost‑to‑complete tracking, and interest reserve management
• Identify emerging risk trends, control gaps, covenant breaches, or performance concerns that may warrant escalation, enhanced monitoring, or follow‑up reviews
• Complete and document testing and observations using standardized CCRADD due diligence templates, workpapers, and supporting evidence
• Prepare clear, well‑supported written due diligence reports and executive summaries for CCRADD management and credit stakeholders
• Communicate findings, key observations, and risk considerations to internal stakeholders, including CCRADD leadership, relationship teams, and credit partners
