Hi annyb,
Mortgage underwriter is a person who assesses whether or not you're eligible for the loan. They are the people who would either approve or reject your loan application. The mortgage underwriter would review the data given by the applicant and will decide whether the borrower, property and mortgage satisfy the requirements of the secondary market.

i was underwriting 3 years ago in a retail environment, doing prime loans and "alt-a" loans only. alt-a is the set of products that included the reduced credit score no ratio loans, stated income loans and the like. guidelines were pretty liberal, and we were expected to be reasonably liberal in our underwriting, while maintaining some sense so that loans didn't go bad right away.
in that environment, we didn't have all the turmoil that the sub-prime mess handed us. yes, there were some high-risk loans, and there were exceptions to the rules that vice presidents, etc. made that made no sense to me, but the overall milieu was one of ease. things have simply changed dramatically in that span of time, and qualified borrowers don't necessarily get the benefit of the doubt as they once did.
there's too much to say about those times, and i don't have the time in 2009 to expound. what i said in my earlier post was more of a throw-away line.

Good summary dolley
The mortgage underwriter understands the mortgage loan qualification, approval, and pre-approval
To qualify for the mortgage, the mortgage underwriter basically looks at the credit history, credit score, down payment, equity, income, and outstanding
