How it works
1) You securely share your loan file
HCA Underwriters use your Loan Origination System with credentials you control. Alternatively, we can use our own LOS systems to transmit your 1008. HCA provides an SFTP portal, or we can work with any secure system you prefer.
2) We perform the underwriting
HCA underwrites to conventional and portfolio product guidelines, including Down Payment Assistance loans, tailored to your product overlays and guidelines.
3) Findings are communicated to you within 48-72 hours
Approve, Suspend, Denied. HCA will work with you on restructuring as needed. Most files are decisioned within 24-48 hours, while occasionally taking up to 72 hours maximum.
4) We review any stipulations or conditions
Your HCA Underwriter will review and clear all conditions through to closing. This is generally the same business day service but may take up to 24 hours for turn times.
5) You close the completed file
With peace of mind and quality assurance.
