- The implementation of auto-population fields designed to improve efficiency while reducing errors, omissions, and the need for clarification or extensive addendums.
- The application of a single form for all lending requirements of the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs), encompassing properties such as 2-4 unit buildings, condominiums, and manufactured homes.
