During an introductory call or email, we gather the basics of your transaction. If the request doesn’t meet loan guidelines, we’ll let you know right away.
Step 2: Document Request
If eligible, we’ll send a short checklist to review your financials, credit, and property cash flow. This includes tax returns, rent rolls, and operating statements.

Step 6: Final Submission
When all documentation and reports are in, we finalize underwriting and issue a formal loan commitment.
Step 7: Legal & Closing
Our legal team prepares closing checklists and final conditions. Once satisfied, we schedule the closing.
