If you're not seeing a specific client record in Ownwell, it could be due to a few common reasons. Ownwell requires certain fields and conditions to import a file successfully. Here’s how you can troubleshoot:

Steps to Resolve:

  1. Check the Application Status: Ownwell only imports clients with the following statuses:

    • Finmo: Clients must have an application status of "Funded."

    • Velocity: Clients must have a status of "Funded and Awaiting Payment" or "Complete."

  2. Verify the Closing Date: the closing date must be in the past. This is because we don't think it makes sense to send clients a report on their home until after they've moved in.

  3. Verify the Maturity Date: Ownwell imports only active mortgages (i.e., mortgages that haven't matured). Check to make sure that the maturity date is in the future. Note: we'll be adding support for importing matured mortgages in the near future!

  4. Review the Payment Schedule: Ownwell currently does not support interest-only mortgages, but support for these is coming soon.

  5. Review the Payment Frequency: Ownwell doesn’t yet support accelerated weekly or semi-monthly payment frequencies, but we're working on adding these.

  6. Ensure All Required Fields Are Complete in Finmo or Velocity: The following fields are necessary for a successful import:

    1. Borrower details - required

      • Primary borrower first name

      • Primary borrower last name

      • Primary borrower email address

      • Household income

    2. Subject property details - required

      • Use type (owner-occupied, rental, etc.)

      • Property type (detached, condo, etc.)

      • Original value (i.e. purchase price, estimated value, etc.)

      • Unit

      • Street number

      • Street name

      • Street type

      • Street direction

      • City

      • Province

      • Postal Code

    3. The original mortgage details - required

      • Transaction type (purchase, refinance, etc.)

      • Closing date (must be in the past)

      • Original mortgage amount

      • Original mortgage rate

      • Original mortgage rate type

      • Term

      • Amortization

      • Lender

    4. Optional but recommended

      • Primary borrower phone number

      • Primary borrower credit score

      • Subject property property taxes

      • Subject property Heating

      • Subject property condo maintenance fee

      Note: Clients imported into Finmo or Velocity via CSV uploads or deals pushed to Expert may lack some of this required information.

  7. Reimport the Client Record: If you’ve updated the file in Finmo or Velocity, simply click "Import from Finmo/Velocity" in the Ownwell dashboard to pull in the updated record.

Important: Once a client record is in Ownwell, any edits should be made directly in Ownwell. Changes made in Finmo won’t sync back to Ownwell after the initial import.
