subject: Various Loans In Knoxville, Tennessee [print this page] If we look at loans in general and the way we have applied for loans in Knoxville and other cities and states, there are variances of what kind of loan you can apply for. For the most part in the mid 90s the mortgage industry saw credit scores as the way to determine if the applicant would get a mortgage. This was solely based on the borrowers ability to repay a mortgage. But after conducting statistical studies of the situation the lenders and government departments mandated that the credit score should be used in conjunction with manual underwriting to assess approval.
Not too long after, automated underwriting systems were developed. A loan officer today simply inputs an applicants key information into the underwriting automatic engine, such as his/her credit score, income, amount being applied for, any cash reserves, employment and housing history, and the value of the property itself. A response is returned by the underwriting engine recommending approval or denial for the loan.
If your loan receives a denial from an automated underwriting system, the buck does not necessarily stop there. Life happens to people, and often its going to take a real live person understanding the plight on an applicants situation to make an underwriting decision. That is when your lender may suggest submitting your file to underwriting for a manual review. This gives you a second chance of sorts.
A perfect scenario for a manually underwritten file would be someone who has no credit history. Yes, there are applicants that are old school who have always paid for everything in cash, had never established traditional credit lines. In a case such as this one, they would probably want to submit a different type of credit to underwriting. This means they will have to bring in bills they had paid on time for the past year to create a credit history. Typical ones used are car insurance, utility bills, cell phone bills and cable bills.
Another very common reason to submit a loan in Knoxville for a manual underwrite is when a customers credit score is below 620 and gets an automated underwriting process denial. If this is the case, be prepared to provide extensive documentation about your cash pay history, as well as explanations as to why your credit score has suffered recently. The situation might go that a few years ago you were laid off or maybe lost your job due to a company closing. It was unfortunate but in the last twelve months, you can prove you are back on your payments and have been repaying debt. An underwriter is going to piece together the different aspects of your file and see if it makes sense and make a determination after that. In ending there are a lot of different ways to get a loan in Knoxville but due diligence and research to find what the best for you is necessary to making an informed decision.
