Inspiration

Mortgage application process is a nightmare sometimes and you are never sure if your broker needs one more document or not. I wished it was all in one place. The industry is fertile space for tech innovation.

What it does

Keeps all your mortgage application documents in one place, know if they are approved by your broker or not, and more importantly, when you're DONE!! Track your progress, upload documents for your broker, and invite your real estate agent to view and get updates on your application standing.

How I built it

rails with sass styling, jquery functionality, and typeahead. deployed on heroku with puma server using mysql2

Challenges I ran into

modeling the objects to represent all the documents and user interaction between lenders and borrowers was a bit tricky as well as building single-user functionality through single-table inheritance

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

overcoming challenges above to get a working prototype

What I learned

Sass is incredibly easy to use, typeahead twitter gem came in handy for search form, STI is super useful for authenticating different types of users through the same log in form.

What's next for Nest Mortgage

We are adding more functionality to store encrypted pdfs in the database and adding our third user type's functionality
