An online system for identifying and pricing a mortgage loan that meets a
predetermined business objective of a mortgage market participant
includes a business objective database and an underwriting engine coupled
to the business objective database. The business objective database is
configured to store a set of loan characteristics for at least one
business objective of the mortgage market participant. The underwriting
engine is configured to receive loan application data for a borrower via
an online network. The underwriting engine is also configured to provide
an underwriting approval status for the mortgage loan, to identify if the
mortgage loan is a business objective mortgage loan by comparing the loan
application data to the set of loan characteristics for the at least one
business objective and, if the mortgage loan is a business objective
mortgage loan, to determine a business objective pricing component for
the mortgage loan.
