    Can I submit credit documents for review before the appraisal is available? 

    Yes, we are happy to review a file submitted before the appraisal is obtained. Our underwriters will review the credit package. If approved, we will condition for satisfactory appraisal.

  • Can Arch MI review a single document before a loan is submitted?

    - by Darren Metsker

    Can Arch MI review a single document (for example, just the appraisal, condo questionnaire, tax return etc.) before a loan is submitted?

    In order to ensure a thorough analysis and better assessment of overall risk, we require a full file to review. We are unable to issue a decision unless a file is submitted.
