Amid the turmoil of this year’s subprime meltdown and scrutiny of loose underwriting practices, many assumed tighter lending standards were imminent. However, recent analysis of loans originated this year suggests that many lenders were slow to underwrite to stricter guidelines.
With delinquencies and defaults continuing to rise and servicers facing an impending ARM reset crisis, a thorough examination of underwriting standards is necessary to prevent future risky loans from exacerbating problems in your business and the market.
At Inside Mortgage Finance’s audio conference held in November 2007, mortgage executives heard actionable tips on how to address the current underwriting challenges in this tumultuous lending environment.
Speakers at this event discussed current underwriting practices and what steps you may need to take to protect your business. In addition, specific insight and answers to today’s pressing questions from our expert panel of mortgage market insiders was provided to attendees.
