Many mortgage loans for single family homes involve co-borrowers; and the October Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Forecast anticipates that home loans will maintain a positive trajectory into 2021. Recognizing the need, trend and opportunity to facilitate both lender and borrower requirements, Mortgage Duo eliminates the need for a lender to place individual orders for each borrower’s report.

With Mortgage Duo, they can instantly verify employment and income for both borrowers through a single automated transaction which helps decrease duplicative tasks and further reduces friction in the loan origination process.”
