They may also recommend specific loan terms and conditions based on the borrower's profile and risk assessment. Communicate effectively: Underwriters need to clearly explain their decisions to loan officers, borrowers, and other team members. This may involve writing detailed reports, providing justifications for loan denials, and negotiating loan terms.
