Why Can't I Edit the Mortgage Request Details?
 

 

 

 

Enter the required information for the mortgage being requested. Tip! Use the Tab key to move from field to field; use the Shift-Tab key combination to move backwards.

By optionally selecting a lender from the Lender dropdown, any mortgage products offered by that Lender are available from the Product dropdown.

TIP! If you wish to reduce the number of lenders in the dropdown, you can start to type the name of your desired lender in the search box which will filter the list of lenders.

Selecting the mortgage product will in turn automatically populate the various fields inherent to that product. In addition, any cross-selling products offered by the selected lender (such as creditor insurance) appear in a separate link in the Left Navigation Pane.

By default, the Loan Type dropdown displays Mortgage. However, if the lender offers an LOC product, then the loan type can be Secured LOC.

 

Note that the Line of Business is a means to classify the value or ranking of a deal. LOB A is low risk, LOB B is medium risk, and LOB C is high risk.

10/15 - Initial 10-year period of interest only payments followed by 15 years amortizing principal and interest repayment, with full repayment within 25 years of loan initiation.

 

To include the mortgage premium in the mortgage amount, click the Include in Mortgage checkbox. After clicking the Recalculate button, the Total Loan Amount field updates accordingly.
