Note
The Technology Open to Approved Lenders (TOTAL) Mortgage Scorecard
was developed by HUD to evaluate the credit risk of FHA loans that are
submitted to an automated underwriting system. To underwrite an FHA
loan electronically, a mortgagee must process the request through an
automated underwriting system that can communicate with the FHA
TOTAL Scorecard.
Note
For FHA loans, the qualifying rate is equal to the interest rate unless the
loan-to-value is less than or equal to 95% and the loan is a one year ARM
or less, then the qualifying rate is +1%.
