What will it do for you?
LOANMASTER (tm) Lite is a general loan servicing software system.
Its design is similar to the loan accounting systems used by most
banks for accounting operations and tracking of payments due and
past due.
LOANMASTER (tm) Lite stores all the data about the loans and the
borrowers in a database in an organized manner. It will then perform
all the calculations necessary on this data and display the data and
or the calculations to you on screen or via printed reports.
For each loan, there is a borrower. Information about each borrower
is stored in the database. Each borrower may have multiple loans,
multiple addresses and multiple telephone numbers.
From this store of information, LOANMASTER (tm) is able to calculate
the interest for each loan as it becomes due. It calculates each
payment date and determines if the payment has been made. If the
payment has not been made, it marks the loan as past due. If late
charges are specified, it calculates and assesses the late charge.
When payments or late charges are paid, it determines if the amounts
paid were less than, equal to, or greater than the amounts due. If
the amounts paid are greater of less than the amounts due, it keeps
up with the past due or prepaid amounts.
Every day, the program checks every loan in the file to see if
interest has accrued or if a payment is due. If you prefer not to
use the program on a daily basis, it will catch up. Most private
lenders and small loan companies update the loan files weekly. Some
individuals update the files monthly. Regardless of the frequency of
the updates, LOANMASTER (tm) works on a daily basis and updates
every loan one day at a time.
For each calendar date during the year, the LOANMASTER (tm)
system performs these functions:
- Check for payment due today
- Calculate interest
- Calculate late charges due
- Calculate accrued interest
- Calculate interest due and unpaid
- Calculate principal due
- Calculate days past due
- Calculate date next due
- Calculate number of payments matured
- Calculate number of payments paid
- Calculate Interest paid YTD
- Calculate Late Charges Paid YTD
- Calculate number days 10,30,60,90,120 days past due
- Calculate default date
- Check for final maturity
- Determine if billing or past due notices are due today

What is a Portfolio?
The term portfolio as used in this system means something like
group, or subtotal. You assign loans to a portfolio by giving them a
user defined portfolio code. You can have as many portfolios as you
like. All of the reports will be subtotaled by portfolio code with a
grand total at the end. Real estate developers may use portfolio
codes to group loans by development or by the owning partnership.
Retailers may use portfolio codes to segregate furniture loans from
jewelry loans. etc.
