New Lending Manuals a Good Reference for FHA, VA, and HECM

Salt Lake City, UT - August 24, 2009 - As the number of FHA insured loans rapidly increases, mortgage lenders need to offer FHA loans to stay competitive. Once lenders and brokers have become FHA approved, they face a variety of tasks, which can sometimes appear overwhelming. For example, lenders must have proper training to originate, process, underwrite, and close FHA loans. Additionally, because FHA loans are government insured, they can be more regulated and complex than conventional loans. Finally, FHA approved lenders need to keep up with the frequent HUD policy changes and updates.

As a solution to sorting through hundreds of pages of regulations, Mortgage Compliance Advisors has launched complete lending manuals for FHA, VA, and HECM loans. These guides, updated quarterly, offer quick, comprehensive references for mortgage lenders and brokers. The manuals cover all outlined requirements and calculations in the current issues of the HUD handbooks, as well as the updates in the HUD Mortgagee Letters. Additionally, the electronic version of the manual hyperlinks all explanations of guidelines back to the original HUD source, to show HUD's exact wording. Although the number of regulations continues to grow along with the demand for FHA loans, lending manuals can help clarify and simplify the loan production process.
