Preparing an Investment-Property Funding Request
A well-prepared funding request helps a funding partner review your deal faster and gives you a clearer picture of whether it fits. This guide covers what to gather and how to present it — without overpromising or guessing at terms only a partner can set.
Start with the deal, not the loan product
You don't need to know the name of the loan product before you request capital. Start with what you're trying to accomplish: buy, rehab, refinance, or hold. The right product follows from the strategy and the numbers.
Gather the core numbers
Most funding partners will want a consistent set of figures. Having them ready speeds up review:
Be honest about your experience and entity
Experience and entity structure affect which programs may fit. First-time investors aren't disqualified — but the options differ from those for seasoned operators. If your borrowing entity (LLC, etc.) isn't set up yet, say so; some partners require an entity for business-purpose loans while others don't.
What to avoid in an initial request
Don't submit sensitive data on an initial public form:
Documents like purchase contracts, scopes of work, and rent rolls can come later through a secure upload after a specialist reviews your request.
Set realistic timeline expectations
Closing timelines vary widely by partner, documentation, appraisal requirements, and deal structure. Some bridge requests move quickly; others take longer. We help set realistic expectations once we understand your scenario — we don't promise a specific window.
