Methods, apparatuses and systems facilitating analysis of expected
interest rates and, in some embodiments, other conditions and
circumstances associated with a variety of different loan types. In one
embodiment, the present invention allows for a network-based application
allowing users the ability to assess for what loan interest rates they
are eligible based on current interest rate data and credit analysis
scores that are used to determine qualifications for one of a variety of

web-based loan rate analysis system that combines credit score analysis
with analyses of collateral and debt/income to offer users the ability to
learn for what loan interest rates they are eligible when purchasing or
refinancing a home. Embodiments of the present invention further provide
"what if" calculators allowing users to assess the impact of hypothetical
