Chapter 6 Loan Underwriting
The underwriting discipline of the lenders is one of the single most important elements when investing in a trust deed. The reason why loan underwriting is so significant to trust deed investing is because part of the underwriting process is to determine the Loan-To-Value Ratio (LTV).
The process of underwriting is what the lender goes through in order to qualify a borrower for a loan, and also makes certain that the loan has been properly documented and structured. The LTV if often determined though the comparison of the loan amount to the appraised value regarding the collateral that secures the loan.
Throughout a loan transaction there tend to be far fewer problems when a loan has been properly underwritten. However, if problems do arise, the borrower is encouraged to set them right should they wish to protect their equity in the project. Almost any problem can be rectified; it’s only a matter of money. In the event that the borrower fails to solve their problems, regardless of the reason, the loan’s margin of equity proves to be helpful as it enables the lender to absorb the cost to solve whatever problems have occurred.
