Yes, the USDA has two types of underwriting: automated and manual.
USDA Mortgage Process:
- Prequalification – Based on income, credit, and property location.
- Application Submission – Collects necessary documents (income, assets, etc.) and applies.
- Underwriting – Automated underwriting through the USDA’s Guaranteed Underwriting System or manual if not approved automatically.
- Approval: USDA reviews the lender’s underwriting decision.
- Closing: The loan is finalized, and funds are disbursed when approved.
The USDA process may be more involved because of stringent income and property eligibility requirements.
