Freeing Data Extraction in Mortgage Lending: Stop Paying for Document Classification and Fund Income Accuracy Instead
Updated: · Rapidio
Author: Rapidio Editorial Team · Reviewed by: Senior Underwriter (10+ yrs) · About our review process
Document classification and data extraction are table‑stakes for mortgage manufacturing — but many vendors still charge premiums for these basics. Rapidio makes both free, so you can reinvest in what actually moves the needle: income calculation & eligibility across Fannie Mae, FHA variable income, VA, and Freddie Mac—with human‑in‑the‑loop QC by underwriters 10+ years.

TL;DR
Stop paying for the shovel. Invest in the gold: accurate AI mortgage underwriting components that deliver decisionable income calculation results — fast.
Why this matters now
- Thin margins: Per‑page “tolls” on document classification and data extraction strain IMBs, credit unions, TPOs, and brokers.
- Outcome focus: Speed & accuracy come from what happens after extraction — income calculation, cash flow analysis, and eligibility.
- Inclusivity: Removing commodity fees levels the playing field and improves borrower experience.
The problem: Shovel pricing in a gold‑rush world
Classification and extraction are the shovel; accurate income and risk decisions are the gold. Per‑document pricing for “AI loan processor” features incentivizes over‑processing, disadvantages smaller lenders, and obscures the real KPI — fewer UW callbacks, lower redraw %, faster approvals.
The fix: Make classification & extraction free
Rapidio includes document classification and data extraction at no cost — no minimums. Redirect savings to decisioning with our componentized Income Calculation & Eligibility stack:
- Fannie Mae income calculator (incl. self‑employed and rental income)
