All mortgage loans involve the risk of possible financial loss to a mortgage lender, investor, or insurer. Depending on its circumstances, a single mortgage application may undergo four separate underwriting reviews at various stages by the following parties:
Lender: The loan officer and/or processor review the application to determine whether it warrants full processing or an immediate credit decision. Automated underwriting may be used at this stage.
Lender: After processing, the underwriter analyzes the application to determine whether to lend funds and under what conditions.
Insurer/Guarantor: Before closing, a mortgage insurer or guarantor determines whether the submitted application is eligible for mortgage insurance or a guarantee.
Investor: Before or after closing, a permanent investor determines whether the mortgage or mortgages as submitted will be purchased and at what price.
Each underwriter analyzes the loan package, estimates the risk to its organization, and determines whether the benefits are sufficient to balance the risk.
