►DTI range of 43.01 - 49.00 percent
►Loan amounts from $417,001 - $1,500,000
►740+ FICOs
►LTVs as high as 75 percent UWM’s originators can log into its broker portal, EASE (Easiest Application System Ever), to review the full set of guidelines and parameters.

The program can also be accessed by UWM’s recently rolled out mobile application for Apple and Android Devices.
