what is a direct fha lender?

What is the benefits of going with a direct fha lender?  Are they able to underwrite a loan quicker than any other fha approved lender?

Direct Endorsement is not a separate program; rather, it is the mechanism that enables HUD/Federal Housing Administration (FHA)-approved lenders to consider single-family mortgage applications without first submitting paperwork to HUD.

 

Brokers are not direct lenders. They submit their loans to direct lenders.

Banks and Bankers can be direct lenders.

 

This doesn't mean what it used to mean. I don't think anyone submits files to HUD anymore.

Re: what is a direct fha lender?

We were with a broker before but he had to transfer our file to a direct lender.  When we applied through the direct lender we were told that we got a DU approval, does this mean that the chances are good that we would be approved by their uw as well? I wasn't sure what DU approval meant like, if it was a special type of approval?
