TBD Property Underwriting Mortgage Loan Pre-Approvals

ByMargarett Jurilla

This guide will cover TBD property underwriting and how it works. TBD stands to be determined. To Be Determined underwriting pre-approvals is equivalent to a loan commitment to lend.  James (JD) Abrahan, the business development managing partner at FHA Bad Credit Lenders, explains TBD property underwriting mortgage loan pre-approvals as follows:

A mortgage underwriter is the person who issues the TBD property underwriting pre-approval. The borrower is fully underwritten without the subject property and issued a pre-approval. Once the borrower gets an executed home purchase contract, they only need to get the property underwritten.

Most mortgage companies will not start processing and underwriting a mortgage loan until a borrower has an executed real estate purchase contract. FHA Bad Credit Lenders are experts in TBD property underwriting pre-approvals. This article will discuss and cover TBD property underwriting mortgage loan pre-approvals.

How Does The Mortgage Process Work

Here is how a traditional home loan process works:

  • Home Buyer contacts mortgage loan originator to get qualified
  • Loan Officer will take a mortgage loan application, commonly known as 1003
  • Loan Officer then reviews 1003
  • Runs credit on borrowers which includes non-occupant co-borrower

Depending on the loan officer, a loan officer can issue a pre-approval or proceed to the next step.

Documents Required To Start The Mortgage Process

The next step is to collect mortgage documents to process mortgage loans like the following:

  • Two years of tax returns
  • Two years W2
  • 60 days bank statements
  • 30 days paycheck stubs
  • Other documents

Loan Officer then runs the file through the Automated Underwriting System for Automated Approval. If the loan officer gets automated approval, the loan officer can issue a pre-qualification letter. A loan officer should not issue a pre-approval letter. At Gustan Cho Associates Mortgage Group, our mortgage underwriters issue and sign off all pre-approvals. All pre-approvals are full credit approvals, referred to as TBD property underwriting on mortgage loans.

TBD Property Underwriting Pre-Approvals Versus Pre-Approvals Issued By Loan Officers

Over 75% of our borrowers at Gustan Cho Associates are the following types. Borrowers who get a last-minute loan denial by other lenders. Borrowers who are getting the run around by their current lenders.

Or are stressing over their current mortgage process where they are about to give up. There is no reason why a mortgage borrower should get a mortgage loan denial or stress during the loan process with any lender if borrowers have a solid pre-approval letter and the file is fully underwritten by a mortgage underwriter. The sole reason for last-minute mortgage denials or stress during the loan process is that the borrower was not properly qualified. The pre-approval process is the most important phase of the overall mortgage process. Loan Officer should not issue pre-approvals. Mortgage underwriters should issue all pre-approvals like it is at Gustan Cho Associates. We have a 100% track record of closing on all of our pre-approvals because our mortgage underwriters sign off on all of our pre-approvals.

TBD Property Underwriting Mortgage Process

We can now process TBD Property Underwriting mortgage loan applications. All TBD Property Underwriting approvals are full credit approvals underwritten and signed off by our mortgage underwriters. Once borrowers’ files are TBD Property Underwritten, they get conditional mortgage approval. With a conditional mortgage loan approval, the real estate purchase contract is the only condition missing. With a TBD Property Underwriting conditional loan approval, buyers can shop for a home and enter into a real estate purchase contract. Once the home buyer has an executed real estate purchase contract, the property is then underwritten and a clear to close is issued.

TBD Versus Traditional Mortgage Underwriting

Traditionally, lenders require that the mortgage loan borrower enter into a real estate purchase contract:

  • The mortgage process then starts
  • The file gets into processing and underwriting 
  • Without a signed real estate purchase contract, the mortgage approval process does not begin
  • However, with TBD Property Underwriting, borrowers can get their mortgage loan application processed and underwritten as a TBD Property Underwriting and get a conditional loan approval

This means that the borrower is fully credit approved and the only condition missing is the real estate purchase contract.

Benefits Of TBD Property Underwriting

One of the major benefits of submitting a mortgage loan application as a TBD Property Underwriting versus the traditional way of underwriting a home loan is that borrowers have a sense of security. This is because mortgage borrowers know that the mortgage loan application has been fully processed, underwritten, and approved. The only condition left is to enter into a real estate purchase contract.

  • The traditional way, where home buyers enter into a real estate purchase contract
  • The mortgage loan application then is submitted for processing and underwriting
  • Poses a possible risk of a mortgage loan denial or stress during the mortgage process
  • TBD Property as a subject property mortgage approvals is best suited for those homebuyers with marginal credit
  • Or borrowers who borderline approval
  • Although borrowers get an approved eligible per DU Findings, there is always a possibility of a mortgage loan denial with many other lenders due to overlays
  • For borrowers who have limited assets, high debt to income ratios, limited credit tradelines, late payments after a bankruptcy and/or foreclosure, recent overdrafts, no rental verification, open collection, or other derogatory issues, TBD Property as a subject property is the best way to go
