FAQs on Mortgage Underwriting Support Services
Mortgage underwriting is the process used by a lender uses to evaluate whether the risk of offering a mortgage loan to you is acceptable or not. It is a part of the mortgage origination process in which underwriters look at your income, credit history, debt, and other factors to determine if you are a good candidate for a mortgage loan or not. In this process your assets, payment history, debt-to-income ratio, loan-to-value ratio, and many other variables will be closely evaluated to assess whether the risk of lending you a mortgage loan would be a good investment.
We can start as early as within 2 weeks to initiate underwriting support requests.
Mortgage underwriting guidelines are the minimum criteria that need to be met in order to qualify for a home loan. These guidelines can increase as you progress on the risk spectrum. The basic underwriting guidelines are established by 2 mortgage financing giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For the most part, they require that all prospective borrowers meet certain income requirements, assets, credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, work histories, and minimum down payments.
Because mortgage underwriting is a detailed process, it can usually take anything between few days to few weeks. The average time it takes to complete the underwriting process is 5 to 8 business days. The timelines vary because every borrower is different and the process too will differ accordingly. On a daily basis each of our employee can complete 2-3 full underwrites with 2 conditions clearing (if needed).
There are many issues that pop up during the underwriting process. These include improper information, omissions of critical details, income discrepancies, and tax document discrepancies. Other problems include employment issues, credit history issues, and funding issues. Home appraisals can also be a point of contention as different organizations may come up with different values. Finally, unexpected issues might arise in the form of complex asset arrangements and other grey areas. In these cases, underwriters may need to rely on their past experience and expertise to assess the risk and protect the lender from undue risk. In such cases, Letters of Explanation come in useful as underwriters can use them to understand your personal situation better and make a more informed application decision.
Mortgage underwriting is the process by which lenders measure the risk associated with a particular home loan and to what extent it complies with the lender’s minimum lending guidelines. Once an application is delivered to an underwriter, they usually evaluate some basic criteria to determine how risky a particular borrower is to lend to. Some such factors include the borrower’s collateral, capacity, character, and credit. Depending on how well these criteria are met, a lending decision can be made. Once the underwriter evaluates a borrower’s propensity to pay back their home loan, they come up with either of the 3 lending decisions: approved, approved with conditions, or denied. Once the lending decision is determined, the mortgage application moves to the next stage of the mortgage origination process.
Fannie Mae, or the Federal National Mortgage Association, guidelines are the minimum requirements you need to meet to take out a mortgage loan in the US housing market. Fannie Mae guidelines are important because they were developed to make the financing process less risky for both consumers and lenders. Fannie Mae buys individual mortgages from lenders, repackages them, and then sells them to investors in the secondary market. The corporation has different requirements for different loans. The minimum requirements may vary depending on whether the property is a multi-unit home, secondary home, or an investment property. Some Fannie Mae guidelines may include down payment requirements, credit score requirements, debt-to-income requirements, etc.
Fannie Mae allows for asset dissipation, or the ability of borrowers to finance a home based on the liquid assets they possess such as stocks, retirement accounts, or money in the bank. Asset dissipation is important for borrowers who do not have conventional income streams such as retirees or workers in the gig economy. Fannie Mae allows asset dissipation because it allows high net worth individuals to convert their portfolios into cash for mortgage payments, without needing to have a steady income stream.
