Checklist:  Rehabs – multi-family 

The more information we have, the more quickly the lender will reach a decision, and the more lenders who may be interested in your loan.  I cannot present to a lender until I have the complete package, so part of the information doesn’t get us very far.  None of this has to be fancy, it doesn’t matter if it’s emailed or faxed, attachments and zip files are fine.  We prefer electronic versions rather than hard copies so that we can quickly submit them to a lender...  If there are multiple deals, please put each one together separately.  The more information you give, the more consideration the lender will give your deal.

You understand quite well what you plan to do with this deal.  This seems like a lot of information, but actually, it is all information that you should already have if you have decided to do the deal.  Help me present it clearly and concisely to the lender so we can see your vision also.  If you take the time to give me all the data possible up front, it will shorten the time to lender approval.  It will also allow me to present to multiple lenders if appropriate.  I want to get your deal funded, so please help me do that.  We may come back for more information, but if we have all of this going in, it will shorten the time needed and ease things along.  If you are missing some of this information, or are not sure how it applies to your deal, please contact us.
