Rates
On the “Price a Loan” link on its website, UWM offers a section dedicated to UWM rates. However, when you click through, you're met with a request to join UWM’s mortgage broker network.
The best way to learn about UWM’s wholesale mortgage rates is to contact the company directly. You can do this by emailing or calling.
Application process
When applying for a loan with UWM, you must go through one of its mortgage broker partners. Working with a broker is not an uncommon way to get a mortgage, but it does mean the quality of the experience may vary based on the broker you work with.
UWM speaks highly of its brokers and emphasizes the broker training it offers. UWM appears to be a tech-forward lender, and it offers its brokers a quoting platform called Blink+. The platform lets brokers run credit checks, issue e-sign documents, verify assets and track the status of the loan. But how proficient your particular broker will be in utilizing the platform and its capabilities may vary — if you have a tech-savvy broker, you'll likely have a tech-focused experience.
Loan types
UWM offers several loan types through its broker partners, but you should note that all brokers in its network don’t offer all products mentioned. The loan types you’re likely to find generally have terms of 10, 15, 20 or 30 years and include:
- Conventional mortgages
- FHA loans
- VA loans
- Jumbo loans
Refinancing
UWM originates loans for both purchase and refinance loans. Its refinance loans include both rate-and-term refinances and cash-out refinances. You might consider refinancing if you can qualify for a lower rate or you need to lower your monthly payment — or if you need to get cash out of your home equity.
Requirements
You’ll need to meet several requirements to qualify for a home loan, with eligibility criteria varying from one lender to the next. Lenders typically look at your credit score, debt-to-income (DTI) ratio and employment history. These factors will determine not just if you can qualify, but also how much house you can afford.
UWM does not publish its borrower eligibility requirements online, so you will need to speak with a broker to learn more.
National mortgage requirements by type
Min. credit score | Min. down payment | Compare with other lenders | |
---|---|---|---|
Conventional | Typically 620 | Typically 3% | Mortgage lenders |
FHA | 500 | 3.5% with 580 credit score | FHA lenders |
VA | Set by lender (often 580) | 0% | VA lenders |
USDA | Set by lender (often 640) | 0% | USDA lenders |
Cost and fees
When taking out a mortgage loan, you will have various costs and fees, including closing costs. Lenders must provide a Loan Estimate after you apply; this form shows you estimated charges associated with your loan.
UWM advises borrowers to speak with its mortgage broker for more information on costs and fees.
