Have you ever wanted to start learning underwriting skills that will open future job opportunities? This course goes over one of the most important steps in the underwriting process which is running, reading, and interpreting Desktop Underwriter and Loan Product Advisor findings.
This is the course you need to start closing loans!
This course teaches you how to pre-underwrite a loan before it's reviewed by the underwriter. If you are a loan processor, loan originator, or underwriter, you will use this important skill on every single loan you do. There's no way around this! DU and LP findings will need to be on every loan file that's completed by the lender to be compliant and to be able to sell the loan in the future. The truth is, underwriters can't approve a loan unless they get an approve/eligible or accept/eligible status from DU or LP (some banks or lenders do manual underwrites but they are very few of them and is not the normal way you will get loans approved).
You can't easily find content on this subject online because it's information that's taught to underwriters when they are being trained to underwrite loans!
What will I learn in this course?
You'll learn what DU and LP are and how they affect the entire loan process.

Finally, you'll be better prepared for future job opportunities that can come up.
