The mortgage approval process is often slow, confusing, and weighed down by paperwork. Buyers can wait weeks or even months to get approved, especially if they're first-time homebuyers or have complicated financial situations. Meanwhile, lenders spend time and money manually reviewing documents, and real estate agents lose deals when financing falls through. The friction in this process makes homeownership harder to achieve for many.
One way to address this could be creating an AI-powered platform that simplifies and speeds up mortgage approvals. Instead of shuffling documents back and forth and waiting weeks for a response, buyers could upload their financial details and get real-time feedback. The system could:
Existing digital mortgage services (like Rocket Mortgage or Better.com) help, but they either focus only on their own lending products or rely on humans for final approvals. A system that works across multiple lenders and uses AI to cut down on manual review could save everyone time and frustration. For example:
To start, a basic web app that handles document scanning and approval estimates (tested with a few lenders) could validate the concept. Over time, features like lender matching and real-time updates could be added. The key would be balancing automation with lender trust—perhaps keeping human review for edge cases while letting the AI handle straightforward applications.
