  • Evaluate borrowers' income, employment history, credit history, debt-to-income ratio, and other relevant financial factors to determine if the loan application meets lending guidelines.
  • Determine that the prospective borrower not only has the ability to pay but has also proven a willingness to repay their debts, thus limiting the probability of default and collection difficulties.
  • Look for complete and accurate information on the loan application and loan package and address any questions raised by lack of documentation or information in order to make an underwriting decision.
  • Validate the borrower has sufficient acceptable cash assets available to close the mortgage.
  • Evaluate the property to confirm it is sufficient collateral for the mortgage and that it meets the investors and insurer's minimum acceptable requirements.

  • Prepare comprehensive underwriting conditions and underwriting comments supporting justifications for loan approvals or denials.
  • Ability to identify red flags and apply prudent underwriting.
  • Collaborate with loan officers, processors, and other relevant parties to gather information and clarify discrepancies in loan applications.
  • Utilize the appropriate AUS system and properly entering data into the AUS from the validated information on the URLA.
  • Collect any information to sell the loan after the loan is closed based on an investor's suspense, EPD, QC, or other unresolved issues.
  • Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, as well as adherence to internal lending policies and procedures.
  • Stay current with industry trends, lending regulations, and market conditions to adjust underwriting practices as needed.
