Q: Why is my compensation not a round number (e.g. 1.863%)?

Q: Is the Mortgage Insurance Quote or MI Quote accurate in Product & Pricing?

A: No. Unfortunately, Product & Pricing only shows the national MI quote provided by MGIC. The Fees & Disclosures show the national MI quote provided by Essent. Once your loan is submitted, the underwriter will run an MI comparison against our rate sheets across our four MI providers to provide you with the best price.

A: Some fields must be update on the application to change loan qualification (i.e. Purchase Price, Appraised Value, etc.).

Q: Why does the DTI not update on the loan even though I changed the value on the Product & Pricing?
