A method for process monitoring is disclosed. A borrower is offered a proceeding in which a secured party has executed on collateral due to nonpayment prevention and protection plan associated with a secured loan. A periodic payment is received from the borrower in response to the borrower accepting the proceeding in which a secured party has executed on collateral due to nonpayment prevention and protection plan. The proceeding in which a secured party has executed on collateral due to nonpayment prevention and protection plan allows for at least a portion of a loan payment for the secured loan to be covered by a proceeding in which a secured party has executed on collateral due to nonpayment prevention and protection (PP) entity on behalf of the borrower in response to a covered event occurring. The proceeding in which a secured party has executed on collateral due to nonpayment prevention and protection plan additionally may allow for paying/cancelling the debt's investor in response to loss of the property by the borrower.

Apparatus and methods for approving financing for the sale of real estate. The apparatus and methods may involve receiving from a seller, or a seller's agent, information regarding the property so that a financial institution can determine a loan amount before the seller is engaged by a buyer. The financial institution may order from vendors documentation and certification desired or required for closing. The financial institution may issue a seal certifying that the financial institution has pre-approved a loan in a stated amount. The amount may be subject to change based on the qualifications of a buyer.

Apparatus and methods for facilitating real estate transactions

A method includes enrolling a borrower in income curtailment protection associated with a loan, where the loan requires periodic payments. If income curtailment has occurred, a determination is made as to what portion of the periodic payment is to be covered on behalf of the borrower. The determined portion of the periodic payment is covered by an entity other than the borrower on behalf of the borrower.

Income curtailment protection

Systems and methods are illustrated for providing an equity protection product to a borrower of a loan. Aspects of the equity protection product may be implemented using an equity protection agreement. The equity protection product may be used to safeguard a borrower's investment in the event of a housing market downturn. In some examples, once the equity protection is purchased, the borrower's equity can only increase or remain stable (i.e., flat) regardless of market conditions. The payoff amount of the borrower's loan may be reduced to compensate for a change in the market value of the borrower's home. The equity protection product may be provided by a lending institution, bank, or any other comparable entity/person. A trading desk may also be used to hedge against the risk created by the equity protection product. In addition, an appraiser may also be used to evaluate and provide current market values of the relevant property.
