Some lenders promise fast approvals that later change when underwriting uncovers income or credit issues. The result is unexpected conditions, loan restructures, delayed closings, and frustrated borrowers. MegaStar’s One Day Decision combines advanced AI technology with experienced human underwriting to review and disposition the two most critical components of the loan: income and credit.
Within as little as one business day, you receive an underwriting determination on income and credit before your borrower writes an offer.
• Human + AI underwriting review
• Underwriter disposition on income and credit
• Supports wage earners, self-employed borrowers, commission, bonus, and complex income structures
Most lenders provide an automated approval. One Day Decision provides an actual underwriting review of income and credit, the two areas most likely to impact loan approval. Because confidence closes more loans than speed alone.

Using ODD for purchase allowed me to give quick underwriting confirmation to all parties… The confidence that the buyer has been underwritten gives assurance as we move toward closing. We were even able to move the closing date up.
On refinances, income and asset reviews are completed upfront, which has sped up the process and helped us handle income complexities early.

The ODD Program helped turn the loan process from stressful to straightforward. Instead of waiting in limbo, I was able to get early underwriting feedback, clear next steps, and a defined list of what was needed for final approval. That kind of upfront clarity made a big difference and helped me move forward with confidence.

A lot of loan officers have been using this program, and I’m loving it as well! When a file is assigned to me, I know the income has been accurately reviewed and calculated to qualify for the loan. If there are any questions or concerns regarding the income, the underwriter has conditioned the file accordingly.
Lisa Doyle, Sr. Loan Specialist
I had a loan that looked like it would initially decline. However, after understanding the underwriters though process, I was able to obtain letters from employers confirming hours and continuance of overtime, along with a letter of explanation form the borrower explaining her situation. Being able to speak with underwriters is priceless, when i was a broker I did not have this ability.

One Day Decision is a mortgage underwriting solution that allows loan officers to have borrower income reviewed, calculated, and validated upfront in the loan process. Instead of waiting for traditional post-submission underwriting review, eligible files move directly into underwriting for faster mortgage decisions, clearer pre-approvals, and a more predictable loan experience.
ODD moves income validation to the beginning of the mortgage process. This gives loan officers earlier clarity on borrower qualification, reduces last-minute underwriting conditions, and creates a more efficient and transparent path from pre-approval to closing.
One Day Decision supports a wide range of mortgage borrowers, including wage earners, self-employed borrowers, commission-based income, bonus income, and other variable income structures. This allows loan officers to serve more clients beyond standard income profiles.
Income can typically be reviewed and validated in as little as one business day, depending on the completeness of documentation and the complexity of the borrower’s income. This faster turnaround helps loan officers issue stronger pre-approvals earlier in the process.
One Day Decision helps mortgage loan officers close loans faster by reducing underwriting surprises, improving income clarity upfront, and enabling stronger pre-approvals. This leads to a smoother borrower experience, fewer delays in processing, and more confidence for referral partners and agents.
One Day Decision is just one example of how MegaStar helps mortgage loan officers create faster approvals, reduce underwriting friction, and deliver a better borrower experience. Explore more programs designed to help you grow your pipeline and close with confidence.
