- LMI Underwriting Standards and Guidelines
Our Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) Underwriting Standards and Guidelines are designed for those involved in the mortgage lending industry to assist in completing proposals for LMI.
They represent the minimum acceptable requirements for submission of an LMI proposal to Genworth.
Genworth will consider any LMI proposal that does not meet these LMI Underwriting Standards and Guidelines based on individual merit if the lender fully supports the LMI proposal.
