How It Works

How the Funding Process Works Works

  1. Initial Submission Provide basic deal details—address, purchase price or payoff, property condition, scope, budget, timeline, and exit strategy.
  2. Preliminary Review We analyze comps, budgets, and cash flow potential to issue fast, transparent term sheets.
  3. Underwriting Includes appraisal or BPO, title and insurance checks, and renovation plan validation. Draw schedules are matched to milestones.
  4. Closing & Funding Purchase funds released at closing; renovation or construction funds held in escrow and disbursed upon verification.
  5. Execution & Draws Inspection-verified draws ensure progress stays on track. Requests are processed quickly to keep projects moving.
  6. Exit Strategy
  7. For Flips: Sell at ARV
  8. For Rentals: Refinance into DSCR for long-term stability
