DartAssurance warranty specifications include a maximum loan amount of $750,000, an LTV/CLTV that doesn't exceed 100 percent, and a minimum credit score of 620 for the borrowers on the loan. The warranty works in tandem with the company's industry leading $5 million errors and omissions insurance coverage.
