There are three classes of HUD approval: non-supervised lender, supervised lender and loan correspondent.
A non-supervised lender is a mortgage banker, the so-called “full eagle”. This category of approval may originate, service, purchase, hold, and sell FHA insured mortgages. If the non-supervised lender obtains Direct Endorsement (DE) approval, they can submit loans for mortgage insurance without prior underwriting review by HUD.
A supervised lender is a commercial bank, savings and loan association, or credit union under the direct regulation of the FDIC, Federal Reserve, or NCUA.
A loan correspondent is HUD parlance for a mortgage broker, or “mini-eagle”. This category of approval may only originate FHA loans. It may neither hold nor sell such loans. In addition, the loan correspondent must have one or more registered sponsors to underwrite and fund the FHA loans that it originates. Sponsors must be supervised or non-supervised lenders with Direct Endorsement approval from HUD.
Throughout my lending career, I have been known for my knowledge, experience, honesty and integrity. I hold my mortgage and accounting experience in high regard. I have been involved in the real estate finance industry since 1996 when I took my first job as a loan office.
