Currently, FHA full documentation loans must be submitted and approved through FHA TOTAL Scorecard.
Effective immediately, Pennymac is excited to announce the availability of manual underwriting on FHA loans.
The use of manual underwriting is subject to loans first being submitted through FHA TOTAL Mortgage Scorecard utilizing DU or LPA.
Loans receiving a Refer recommendation or that require a downgrade may be manually underwritten if loan has a minimum 620 FICO Score. Loans will be underwritten in accordance with FHA manual underwriting requirements.
Refer to the FHA and FHA Manufactured Home Product Profiles for additional details.
In addition, Pennymac will update our Best Effort rate sheet on Wednesday, October 5, 2022, as follows:
