A system for evaluating risk associated with a mortgage loan includes an
automated underwriting engine configured to calculate a first risk
indication and a second risk indication for the mortgage loan. The first
risk indication is based on mortgage loan application data received for
the mortgage loan, and further based on at least one of interest rate
risk and collateral risk associated with the mortgage loan. The second
risk indication represents a probability of an adverse event associated
with the mortgage loan. The probability of the adverse event is
determined based on the mortgage loan application data. The system also
includes user interface logic configure to provide a user interface, and
further configured to provide the first risk indication to a lender in
the form of an underwriting recommendation for the mortgage loan, and to
provide the second risk indication to the lender in a form which is
useable by the lender to manage the risk associated with the mortgage
loan.
