To be approved for MAP, all underwriters employed lender must attend a specialized HUD training session. Once approved for MAP, lenders are typically responsible for preparing most of a borrower’s exhibits, including their appraisal. HUD-approved lenders who are not approved for the MAP program must submit loan applications through TAP, or Traditional Application Processing.
