Below is the information and documentation you’ll need to submit: (Link Application Here)
• Subject Property Address
• Exit strategy (Flip, BRRRR, STR, MTR, etc.) and your planned timeline for the project -If refinancing is the exit (not a flip or wholesale), I’ll need to know who your planned lender is, if you’ve worked with them before, if you’re already approved with them and what terms you’re expecting to get from them for the refinance
• Photos of the property (lots and lots of these are best, including all outside areas, all inside rooms and mechanicals, including plumbing stack, electric panel, HVAC, water heater, sump pump, etc.)
• Rehab plan, budget and contractor name or list of contractors you’re considering
• Comps and your projected ARV
A word on comps: Two to three good comps that are in the same neighborhood and very similar to the subject property are best (similar square footage, bedrooms, garage, basement/no basement, acreage, etc) If comps are all over the place, I will usually default to the lower end of the comp range subject property. A few good comps within close distance are better than a long list of so-so comps

• Your preferred title company
• Purchase Price, Rehab Price and Total Amount You Want to Borrow
• Your planned timeline for the loan (how long you expect to need the funds from purchase to payoff)
