Chapter 2
Mortgage Credit Guidelines
Page 2-12

When the 29/41 ratio is exceeded, the lender is responsible for explaining why it believes the mortgage is an acceptable risk on the Mortgage Credit Worksheet (MCAW) in the "Remarks" section.

The lender must include on the MCAW any compensating factors used in the loan approval. This does not apply for loans rated "acceptable" or approved by an FHA-Approved Automated Underwriting System.

Please see: HUD Handbook 4155.1, REV-4, CHG-1, Paragraph 2-12 and 2-13 and Mortgagee Letter 97-26.
