Required documents like K-1s and tax returns are often received piecemeal and late in the process. The manual entry of data from tax documents inefficient and increases the chance of errors. Different skill sets and credit policy interpretations produce inconsistent income calculations. The result: lost time and an increased risk of "buy-backs". Using OCR, LoanBeam exports data from tax return PDFs to an Excel file that automatically calculates the qualifying income of a residential borrower. LoanBeam allows lenders to arrive at an accurate income calculation more quickly, more confidently, and with more consistency than ever before. LoanBeam drives standardization, automates manual processes, and streamlines workflow. Today's regulatory landscape demands a solution that removes inefficiencies and lowers credit risk from the process of qualifying a residential mortgage applicant. LoanBeam is the solution.
