mortgage training: Mortgage Training: Ask The Underwriter= More Questions! - 03/27/08 10:05 AM
I've spoken to several loan processors and mortgage brokers regarding the Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA or 1003).  One of the hardest things to convince them is how important it is for them to complete the borrower's birthday and the Declarations section.  The issue is most Automated Underwriting Systems (AUS) require the birth-date … (7 comments)

mortgage training: Ask The Underwriter: Question regarding DO - 03/18/08 10:25 AM
I have a DO accept with a back ratio over 43. The underwriter will not approve it without compensating factors. Is this standard industry practice?
First: Thanks for the Question!
This is not "really" standard industry practice.  For government loans yes, but not for conventional.  Also, for government loans the underwriter usually writes the … (6 comments)

mortgage training: Ask The Underwriter: Incomplete File Series= Income Documents - 03/13/08 03:32 AM
First let me say this:
Complete Tax Returns Include ALL SCHEDULES!

Most borrowers check stubs are issued by ADP or other well known pay check processing companies, but some borrowers (my husband included) have "different" check stubs. 
When these "different" check stubs are submitted the underwriter often asks for additional documentation, but you can beat them to the punch by looking for … (6 comments)
