  31. Who Can Originate an FHA Loan? Two Categories of Originating Lenders May be either supervised or non-supervised. Loan Correspondents (“Mini Eagle”). Primary activity is the origination of mortgages. Loans must be underwritten by an FHA-approved sponsor lender. Mortgagees (“Full Eagle”). May originate and underwrite its own loans, and underwrite those originated by loan correspondents it sponsors.

  32. Who Can Originate an FHA Loan? Principal/Authorized Agent Relationships Relationships between two mortgagees (“Full Eagles”). Loan must close in the name of the principal. Otherwise, principal and authorized agent may share duties and fees based on mutual agreement.

  33. Who Can Originate an FHA Loan? Where can a lender originate FHA loans? Each branch or home office has a Lending Area in which it may originate loans. Lending areas include multiple states. Non-supervised lenders must be licensed in the states in which they do business. http://www.fhaoutreach.gov/FHAHandbook/prod/infomap.asp?address=4155-2.12.E.2

  36. Who Can Originate an FHA Loan? Do the lending areas apply to underwriting and other processing functions? No. Lending areas apply to loan origination only.
