Mr. Bode changed the name of Schmidt Mortgage Company to Mid America Mortgage, Inc.  Bode founded the original Mid America Mortgage, Inc. in 1989 and was the first lender to develop an interface inside Calyx’s Point software.  The interface enabled brokers to price, lock, underwrite, and receive loan status, while drawing loan documents within Point or from a website linked to Point.  Mr. Bode further developed the technology and has utilized those advances to offer superior performance in the mortgage industry.  In 2003, Mr. Bode sold the assets of the previous Mid America Mortgage, Inc. to Aegis Mortgage and focused on developing his software until 2007 when he returned to the mortgage business.  Mr. Bode opted to stay out of ownership of a mortgage company due to the perceived risk he saw in the products being originated from 2004 until 2007.  During that time he focused on winding down the original Mid America Mortgage, Inc., developing Mortgage Machine software, and creating a tax lien business.
