What Exactly Does An Underwriter Do With Your Mortgage?

[@chrissymancini4299]

I’m an Underwriter - we aren’t trying to stress you out, believe me. We are beholden to strict guidelines. My best advice is to be prepared ahead of time. Think of things in sets of 2 - 2 paystubs, 2 years tax returns and W2’s, 2 months’ bank statements. And just take a deep breath. We’re here to get you to the finish line. Nothing makes me happier than issuing the clear to close and getting buyers to the closing table. Good luck with your purchase!

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

For sure!! The best piece of advice I can give to clients is that it's not personal at all. It's mostly black and white guidelines that everyone has to follow

I had FICO score 700 I turn everything at beginning we was nearing closing old bill pop up at had payoff I had wait 3 weeks for my credit report update show it’s paid now it’s gone back underwriting why is it taking so long now it’s been over a week

[@lovelyindeed4526]

I love this comment!! I am a Property And Casualty Underwriter and feel the same way!! Question for you if possible. I’m going through the mortgage process and accidentally transferred more money than needed from my checking to savings causing a negative balance in my checking account $159. no over draft fees and payment was made. Balance rectified. I’ve submitted 2 months bank statements already no previous NSFs. Closing 01/20. Lender may ask for Dec and it will show up. I’m so concerned I will lose this house over a $159 mistake. 684 credit score low DTI closing costs are not coming from this checking account. I’m very worried. Thank you for your input.

I am going through this process n a new build home. It is not too stressful as long as you have all the information they need. Thankfully all my paystubs going back years and statements are available in digital form. As soon as the loan office sends me an email requesting a new document I upload it within minutes. It seems most clients take forever to reply to them because she sent me an email thanking me for being so responsive and said she truly appreciated it. But it does get scary at times when they ask for specific info. For example I was out of work for almost two weeks due to covid, and I had to explain that and reply whether I am not back on payroll. Those little things make you wonder if they will use such thing as a reason to deny the loan. But like you said on the video, they aren't picking on you these are just things they have to do in order to get a loan approved.

Hi! Since you are the one buying a home, it is really your job to process everything, unless you guys had an agreement that they will be the one to do the paperwork for you. Also, bear in mind that every month, your credit report has a tendency to change. I suggest that if you are applying for a loan, make sure that you still pay your monthly bills on time to avoid negative impact on your credit.

[@fedgraca6434]

Why banks and lenders have developed a time wasting process that focuses on the customer and his ability to repay the loan when in fact, the lender would benefit significantly more if the customers default on repayment and they can obtain the assets after having already had some of it paid off with interest?

At 2 am wasn’t able to sleep and started looking at the bank statement from last month. Noticed that I forgot about a cash deposit we made for about $3000. it was for a payment we made on behalf of a family memeber who doesn’t live here. He wired the money later and was deposited as cash. We have all receipt and the wire receipt. Will that be sufficint for the loan underwriter or it might cause issues??

Do underwriters get the credits for the loans from the federal reserve banks discount window? Or is that the job of the bank lending the credits to the banks for the loan?

[@spencerhansen8374]

This is the only important question being asked in the comments. I was just trying to figure out what the underwriters are actually doing. They seem to be checking the insurability of the loan but because all mortgages are insured otherwise anyway I am guessing they are really putting together the info for securitization. Presumably the bank trustee is the one who will approach the Treasury(not the FR) window and get the credits plus the hypothecation plus the FDIC insurance plus as many other insurance policies as they can. Mostly the Trustee does the window approach before anything else happens because your promise to pay with a signature is already the payment needed. They can then use the 14+ days of the other background processes to get a head start on earning interest on the note(which is already a blank indorsed negotiable instrument) as holder in due course. But I may not know enough yet.

Great video !! I am in processing and I received an email today from the loan processor that I only had 1 task and it's to purchase home owners insurance .Does this mean my file has already been to underwritting ?

[@toebeansandcheeseburrito]

If you worked less hours last year into early this year, but still make the same amount per hour now and work more hours as of the last few months, would they consider only the last X amount of paystubs in your income? I don’t want them to consider when I had less hours if I’m working more and earning more now. Conventional.

[@merrickcotiak5]

Based on your statement youre not working 40 hours per week. If income fluctuates, lowest possible income will be used based on your income history.

If your loan has been approved by underwriter & its tax time can u go head and file your taxes before you close? Ia this considered a big non payroll deposit and Will it effect anything?

[@justicelives1694]

I got 1 pre-approval out of 4 lenders I applied too. Im alittle concerned if my pre-approval is real or not, if you know what I mean ...

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

First, I would talk to the 3 that you did not get approved through and ask them specifically what kept you from being approved. Then, I'd mention those things to the lender that did approve you. It's possible that the lender made a mistake or overlooked something. It's also possible that that lender has less strict requirements than the other 3.

This underwriting process is extremely stressful as a buyer and seller.

[@itsmeenaomi9025]

Is underwriting happen before pre-approval?

[@chrisassassin5447]

I’m currently on the conditional approval step and the only thing I was asked to submit back in February was 2 months of bank statements. Now we’re on April and it’s still showing on their site that I am still on the condition approval step and we have a closing date for April 29th. Is it normal for it to take that long?

[@TheWordRevealed106]

But how long does it take to get approved once submitted to the underwriters?

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Around 2 days

[@nicolec708]

Glad I saw your video. I have a question. Found a home submitted documents went under contract..everything was ok then lender notified me that there was a judgement from years ago that I knew nothing about because it never showed up on my credit report. I dont think application went to underwriting yet.. should I be worried that I wont get the loan approved? I'm still waiting to hear something because that means if I have to wait the seller may back out.. and the home is a foreclosure.. what's your opinion on this situation

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

It will depend on the loan: Conventional: must be paid prior to closing FHA: paid at closing OR 3 months payments on payment plan required (no pre-payment allowed) USDA: paid at closing OR 3 months payments on payment plan required (no pre-payment allowed) VA: payment agreement required, lender will determine duration of payments needed

Thank you my loan is now going through underwriter but my problem is my loan person does not talk to me honestly I feel I can walk away from this to frustrate with the process

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Try to be direct (and kind) with them. If you're early in the process, consider working with a different company

[@brendamartinez2265]

It took almost 4 weeks for my underwriter to approve our loan, is that a common time span? I feel like it took way too long and we had provided all of our documents

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

That's very long

I wanted to update you and your team, I did get all the final documents, they asked if I could get my Insurance down $3350 to $3000, they said I was .4% over Qualifying. I did his request. Got it down to $2970, They updated the new document and I was approved. Closed on the house.

[@emilyminiaci1633]

Do you have any information available for financing of new builds? We are in the process of building a home. We received the initial approval so the house is in process of being built. Received our conditions, many were redundant and were already sent during first approval. It’s been over a month since all of the conditions(17 of them!) were sent to processor. We have YET to hear from her. Not even an email.... Our builder heard ‘through the grapevine’ that we were cleared for final approval of the loan(we are going through builders finance company). This is honestly the most stressful thing I’ve ever went through. Income has went up, credit score has went up, no more debt added and I’m still concerned something is wrong because we haven’t heard anything from our processor.

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

I don't currently. Ah, that sounds so annoying. There's no reason why you shouldn't hear back from a processor or loan officer within 24 hours. Personally, I'd be reaching out to any and all people just to get a response back. There most likely isn't an issue with your loan, but it's still poor customer service to not hear back at all.

[@twincherry4958]

They just said they will reach our I'd they need anything ...that is after I submitted their 10 list of documents within 24hrs.

[@mikaylahawkins674]

Keep in mind that most loan documents expire between 60 and 120 days. On new construction loans it’s not unlikely to have to resend in paystubs, bank stmts etc because they will expire before your loan closes. In a lot of cases of there are many months between now and your closing there is no need to call and ask for anything or provide and update because anything your loan officer would obtain more than 2 months out from closing would just expire anyhow. When I used to process I would make sure my borrowers were aware that we would not really get started on documents etc until we were closer to closing.

[@sbtgirl5618]

@Emily any updates ?? We are also buying a new construction home..should be finished in May and it has been stressful only because we are moving out of our rental home as the landlords are selling at the same time. Now, In regards to the new home I have submitted documents the same day they requested them . Both times. The first time and yesterday when they requested more documents like recent paystubs bank statements and such to send to underwriting. She said I should hear back once they assign a loan officer.

[@mikefeir]

How big of a non-payroll payment raises issues for an underwriter?

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Usually it’s any deposit greater than 50% of the qualifying monthly income. Although, some lenders have overlays that make them look at deposits smaller than that.

[@joybalanon7483]

So my loan is submitted to underwriting and they told me it usually takes 30-45days. Is that normal?

[@spencerhansen8374]

Yeah, they need that time to present the note to the Treasury and get started on earning interest, plus hypothecation, plus insurance for themselves on the note. In that time, the note has already been on the bond market long enough to have paid for itself and then they can approve your loan and double their money as you pay it back. Or deny your loan and walk away with what they made and leave you to try again.

[@jrwheeler81]

This was very helpful. My husband and I are currently in underwriting for a new mortgage loan. Our loan officer was able to approve us on his end and has now sent everything over to underwriting. This is our second time purchasing a home. It has been almost 15 years since we bought our current home, so it's been a long time and I'm a bit confused. We have not even found a home yet (we literally just started looking) and I thought that a loan wasn't sent to underwriting until you had actually found a home, made an offer, and were under contract. How can you underwrite a loan without a property to underwrite the loan for? I mean, they need the price, appraisal, etc. Will it have to go to underwriting again once we find a home and are under contract?

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

There are two main parts to underwriting: credit (you) and collateral (the property). Some lenders can underwrite your credit profile and then underwrite the collateral once you're under contract. When done independently, they just underwrite a maximum (e.g. approved as long as the payment stays under $1,300/mo)

[@jrwheeler81]

@@WinTheHouseYouLove Got it. Well, we got the approval from underwriting today, so we're good to go! Now, just hoping that prices start coming down in the next couple of months so we can stay within our budget!

What is loan commitment ? Does it require an appraisal? What’s the difference between approve/eligible and loan commitment? Thanks

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

Loan commitment is a lender saying they can give you a loan. Usually yes. A/E is an underwriting software, a loan commitment is from an underwriter.

[@stefaniefillipan999]

Stefanie Fillipan So I have a question, we were pre approved awhile back. We had to get tires for my car and some other stuff so my husband took out some from his 401(k). Then a month or 2 later I took out a payday loan not thinking much about it. Then we found a home and put in an offer. The offer was accepted and now we are starting the final approval process. My husband and I share a bank account but he will be the only one on the loan. What are our chances of getting the loan? I’m sick to my stomach thinking I could have screwed this up after working so hard on his credit. We would have an fha loan.

[@stefaniefillipan999]

Also we are using the 401k to pay the down payment. We have to pay 3.5% of the house. But would paying more ensure we get approved?

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

I understand how you feel, but we don't have to cry over spilled milk. Let's just hope that everything will turn out okay. Best of luck!

[@aminachowdhury5415]

If one has steady source of income, but does not have sufficient money for down payment, can gift money be used as down payment?

[@crystalscott9948]

I’m sitting in “approved conditions”stage of underwriting right now, but also still in the process of building, closing end of September, I hope. The weather decided to rain for almost a good week right as the framing was to start, is it standard practice to run credit report again and if so how close to closing does that happen. During this time all was asked from me was a better driver’s license copy, explaining why my parents address was considered as current as 3 years ago, but I was living in my own home during that time, I don’t even know how that was a thing, but I actually had to explain that to the underwriter.

[@WinTheHouseYouLove]

I know the struggle, but don't worry... when you already have your home and look back, you will realize that the fuzz is all worth it. Sometimes it's nicer to get things in a hard way 'coz you will appreciate them more. Best of luck!
