Accredited is a non prime lender and by definition they do not have to conform to Fannie/Freddie. There are, of course, many laws they still must comply with, but from a guidelines standpoint, they are not close to the same. They set their own guidelines based on what investors back what product. I totally understand Vance's frustration with an AE who made some observations about a file without checking with her underwriting department or running the scenario 1003/1008/credit/issue or concern through an underwriter. That is totally unprofessional. Seems like many AE's used to be originators who couldn't cut it on the retail side. They are getting weeded out in a hurry though.

Vance, If you're going to be the loan business for a career, you need to have flexibility. Do not become frustrated with Accredited because all lenders have to be in compliance with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
