  • Patent number: 7797166
    Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with the present invention generate a model for providing one or more scores indicating a likelihood that a stated income is faulty. In one embodiment, the method includes, for example, receiving information representative of at least one borrower; receiving a first income value for the at least one borrower; and receiving a second value for the at least one borrower, such that the second income value verifies the first income value. Moreover, the method includes determining one or more parameters for the model based on the received information, the received first income value, and the received second income value, such that the one or more parameters enable the model to provide the one or more scores.

  • Patent number: 7711574
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing, based on a model, an indication that an appraisal value for a property is likely to be faulty. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving information representative of at least one of a borrower, a property, or one or more demographics, such that the received information corresponds to a date. The method determines a score based on the received information and the model, such that the score provides the indication of the likelihood that the appraisal value was faulty on the date.

  • Patent number: 7593890
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining an indication that an application for a mortgage loan to secure a property may result in closing of the loan transaction. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving application information, such that the application information includes at least borrower information, property information, and a first interest rate; receiving home value information, such that the home value information represents an estimated value of the property; receiving a second interest rate; and determining the indication based on the received application information, received home value information, and received second interest rate, such that the indication represents a likelihood that the mortgage loan may result in closing.

  • Patent number: 6842738
    Abstract: A system preprocesses property value estimates based on stored property data. It stores the computed property value estimates in a forecast data repository. The system obtains updates or new property data and computes new estimates according to a predetermined schedule. Users can instantaneously obtain property value estimates that have been preprocessed, thus eliminating a long wait period necessary for on-line processing.

  • Patent number: 6609109
    Abstract: A system computes a plurality of estimates of a real estate entity based on various types and numbers of predictive models. It also selects a limited number of best estimates to be combined. Finally, the system weights each selected estimate according to the calculated precision of that estimate and combines the weighted estimates into a combined weighted estimate.
