  • Underwriting: Underwriting is the process of analyzing  mortgage loan applications to determine the amount of risk involved in making a home loan; it includes a review of the potential borrower's credit history and a judgment of the property value, as well as their job history and level of income to determine if they have the ability to make payment on the mortgage that was applied for.
