Associated Applications http://lendervp.com/associated-applications/ http://lendervp.com/associated-applications/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:32:10 +0000 David Damstra http://lendervp.com/?p=504 This project is in response to Wisconsin Marital Property rules which dictate that spouses of applicants must be included in the loan application process.  An “associated application” will be available that is linked it to the original loan request.  Ratios can then be calculated based on all relevant applicants.  When the application is approved, the system will retain only the actual borrower and selected co-borrower, and the spouse information will be removed.

Mortgage Payoff Estimator/Payoff Letter http://lendervp.com/mortgage-payoff-estimatorpayoff-letter/ http://lendervp.com/mortgage-payoff-estimatorpayoff-letter/#comments Wed, 14 Dec 2011 14:31:37 +0000 David Damstra http://lendervp.com/?p=502 The first phase of this project was a new tool to prepare a 360 loan for payoff (in production as of fall 2010).  This is the second phase which will quote a payoff for a future date via Phone Operator and produce a payoff statement.  Mortgage loans will allow for fee adjustments to be included in the estimated payoff.

Will expand the “Show All Codes” screen available from the Lending Queue, to show the UW Code Type (Approval, Denial, or Memo) and allow for the data to be sorted multiple ways, with count totals. Will allow the same analysis for Booked and Denied Loans (currently available for Pending apps only).
