Dec 16, 2022

Underwriting

Underwriting is an essential process in real estate financing that involves assessing the creditworthiness and risk of a potential borrower.

What is Underwriting in Real Estate?

Underwriting is the process that lenders use to evaluate a borrower's financial and credit history to determine whether they are eligible for a loan. The underwriting process is comprehensive, involving an assessment of the borrower's income, credit score, employment history, and assets.

The goal of underwriting is to ensure that the lender is making a sound investment by evaluating the borrower's ability to repay the loan.The underwriting process typically involves a combination of automated and manual underwriting. Automated underwriting is used to evaluate basic information about the borrower, such as credit scores and income, while manual underwriting involves a more in-depth analysis of the borrower's financial history.

Why is Underwriting Important in Real Estate?

Underwriting is an essential part of the real estate financing process, as it helps lenders to make informed decisions about whether or not to approve a loan application. By evaluating a borrower's creditworthiness and risk, lenders can ensure that they are making a sound investment and reduce the risk of default.Underwriting also helps to protect borrowers from taking on loans that they cannot afford. By assessing a borrower's financial and credit history, lenders can ensure that the borrower can afford the loan and avoid overextending themselves financially.

Types of Underwriting in Real Estate

There are several types of underwriting in real estate, including:

Desktop Underwriting: Desktop underwriting is a type of automated underwriting that involves evaluating the borrower's credit score, income, and other financial information through a computer program. This type of underwriting is typically used for smaller loan amounts or for borrowers with good credit histories.
Manual Underwriting: Manual underwriting involves a more in-depth analysis of the borrower's financial and credit history. This type of underwriting is typically used for larger loan amounts or for borrowers with more complex financial histories.
Conditional Underwriting: Conditional underwriting involves providing the borrower with a loan commitment subject to certain conditions being met. These conditions may include providing additional documentation or meeting certain financial requirements.
Post-Closing Underwriting: Post-closing underwriting involves verifying the borrower's financial and credit history after the loan has been closed. This type of underwriting is typically used to ensure that the borrower has not taken on additional debt or made any other changes that would impact their ability to repay the loan.

All Shares will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange. After a Series’ offering has concluded, we expect that the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS (the “Secondary Trading Platform”), which is registered with the SEC and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), will be the only venue available for the resale of Shares. Resales of Shares will be conducted by Dalmore, as a broker-dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Series’ Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Shares will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Shares to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely.
