I’ve been underlining the importance of creditworthiness assessments in my recent underwriting projects… With the rise in economic uncertainty, it feels more crucial than ever to identify potential risks upfront. How do others in our field approach mitigating risks during the underwriting process, especially when dealing with borderline credit profiles?
