  2. Borrower/broker submit application
  3. Loan Officer issues term sheet
  4. Signed term sheet to start the process

  7. Underwriting request clarifying information (if needed)
  8. Borrower submits clarifying information (if needed)
  9. File goes to closing
  10. Done deal!

Borrower Experience

No previous experience required, as we can provide leverage and financing for newbie investors. However, in order to obtain maximum leverage, a borrower has to have purchased a minimum of 3 investment properties in the last 3 years. 3 years experience as a contractor, property manager, or real estate agent may still qualify. Experience of contractor, property manager or real estate qualifies for a higher leverage.
