Mortgage underwriting is the process by which a lender evaluates your financial situation to determine if you qualify for a loan and to assess the risk of lending you money. During the underwriting process, a lender will review your:
Credit history and credit score
Income and employment history
Debt-to-income ratio (DTI)
Assets and savings
The property you are purchasing (appraisal, title report, etc.)
The underwriter will use this information to determine whether you are likely to be able to repay the loan. If you meet the lender's requirements, they will approve your loan. If not, they may deny your loan or offer you a different loan product with different terms.
The underwriting process is typically the most time-consuming part of the mortgage process. It can take several weeks for an underwriter to review your application and make a decision.
Here are some tips for getting through the underwriting process:
Be prepared to provide all of the requested documentation. This may include tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and other financial documents.
Be honest and upfront about your financial situation. Don't try to hide anything from the underwriter.
Be patient. The underwriting process can take time.
