Since the mortgage melt down the big push has been the Qualifying Mortgage (QM). Loans that fit the QM were most government mortgage programs (FHA, VA, and USDA) and most agency loans provided by Fannie Mae and by Freddie Mac.

Underwriters that work for mortgage shops that are non-delegated with private mortgage insurance (PMI) vendors must submit loan packages for review. Those packages are subsequently reviewed by the PMI company’s underwriting team. These packages may also be reviewed by PMI management, sales professionals, and auditors.
