Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have redesigned the 1003/URLA and created new automated underwriting system (AUS) specifications to help lenders better capture relevant loan application information and support the industry’s move to digitize the loan origination process. The new URLA has benefits for both Lenders and Borrowers.
New URLA Components
New Look and Process
There are five components to the new redesigned 1003/URLA. No more Borrower and Co-Borrower. Now it is just one or more Borrowers. The Lender and Borrower information components are used on every loan and the unmarried Borrower addendum, additional Borrower information, and continuation sheet are used as needed.
