Overview
Floify's Co-Mortgagor feature for Encompass users helps lenders more efficiently find and organize loans by keeping all borrowing parties on the same loan flow.
To help streamline loans, this feature accounts for additional parties that may not fall into the typical category of a co-borrower. Examples of a co-mortgagor include a parent (or parents) co-signing for a child’s loan application, or even a couple who are not married but are applying for a loan.
This feature expands the capabilities LO teams have in viewing, requesting, and processing documents as well as connecting to Encompass loan files.
Please note, an Encompass integration is required for this feature. Reach out to your account executive for more information on the options for upgrading your subscription to include this.

Adding Co-Mortgagors
In Co-Mortgagors, you can add up to 6 borrower pairs, which matches the limit of Encompass loans. To add a co-mortgagor to a loan, you can follow the below steps.
Navigate to an existing loan flow and select the Edit Loan Flow button:
Navigate to the Borrowers section and click on Add Co-Mortgagor:
Enter the contact information for the co-mortgagor to include them on the loan flow, including email, name, and phone number:
While a loan flow can have more than two borrower pairs on a loan flow, each pair is restricted to two borrowers. The order of these borrower pairs can be changed by clicking on the Swap icon:
Click to confirm the change to the order of the borrowers.
The Add Co-Borrower option will let users add a co-borrower to a co-mortgagor set. You can select whether to use the same or a separate email address from the primary borrower in the co-mortgagor set. While loan flows can have multiple co-mortgagor sets, each set is limited to two borrowers only:
Once added, the co-mortgagor(s) will now appear under the 'Applicants' column view in the loan pipeline:
Splitting Co-Mortgagors
Locate the borrower in your loan pipeline and select the Edit Loan Flow icon:
Select the 'Split' icon towards the right of the co-borrower's name:
Note: If the borrower and co-borrower share an email address, you will not be able to split the borrower pair.
A modal will appear explaining the changes that you are making. Select Move [First Name] to confirm:
The co-borrower will now be moved to their own co-mortgagor set!
Please note that the co-borrower data will be removed from the primary borrower's 1003, and the new co-mortgagor will now have a new 1003 with their information included.
Requesting and Managing Co-Borrower Document Requests
To add or view a document request to a loan flow, click into the loan flow from the pipeline view:
At the top, select one or all borrower pairs from the dropdown menu:
When looking at all borrowers, you will choose which borrower set to request the document from when clicking the Add New Doc button.
Alternately, you can select the borrower pair that the document needs to be requested for:
The documents for the selected co-mortgagor will be displayed. Document action buttons, including the Add New Doc button are displayed when a specific borrower pair is selected. Use the Add New Doc to add a document as normal:
When borrowers log in, they will not be able to see any document requests from other co-mortgagor pairs, simply their own.
