Loan Process
What happens during the underwriting process?
Context
Underwriting can feel like a black box to borrowers who have never been through it.
The short answer
Underwriting is where the lender verifies your financial information and assesses risk. They review your credit, income, assets, employment history, and the property appraisal.
Things to keep in mind
Most loans move through underwriting without major issues, though the lender may come back with questions.
