Two highlights from the Guide are as follows:

1. Maximum LTV for ARMS are reduced from 97% to 90% with Desktop Underwriting & from 95% to 90% for Manual Underwriting. 
2. Minimum credit score requirement is increased from 620 to 640 for manually written loans. 

These changes become effective on 10/20/12.
