The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) back in 2014 issued new guidelines for lenders who manually underwrite FHA-backed mortgage loans. The new underwriting requirements are intended to encourage lenders to use what FHA described as a defined set of objective standards and compensating factors to make responsible, risk-based underwriting decisions. The Agency said the new rules should also increase the pool of eligible borrowers. Most FHA-insured loans are approved through automated underwriting systems that score applications using FHA's TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard. However, when a "refer" is issued or when borrowers were not scored because they do not have credit scores, manual underwriting will allow the use of compensating factors to help borrowers qualify for loans outside of automated standards -- placing a greater emphasis on the need to learn how to manual underwrite FHA files.
In response to these new guidelines, NAMU® offers a comprehensive "professional development" training & certification program entitled: Certified FHA Manual Underwriter (NAMU®-CFMU), which includes (4) FHA mortgage underwriting training classes.
