THE MORTGAGE BOUTIQUE JOURNAL

Prepare for a commercial financing conversation.

Organize the property, borrowing purpose, cash flow and ownership information a provider may need.

Create a property outline

Record the location, use, size or unit count, ownership entity, occupancy and planned improvements. Distinguish current facts from projections. For a purchase, understand the due-diligence dates and financing conditions in your agreement.

Organize income and expenses

Investment properties may require a rent roll, leases and operating statements. Owner-occupied businesses may need business financial information. Reconcile records rather than assuming projected rent or sales will be accepted. The provider determines its exact document list.

Explain equity and the transaction

Identify your proposed equity, existing debt, closing-cost budget and reserves. Review entity and ownership documents with appropriate advisers. Do not assume a property-owning company eliminates guarantees or other obligations.

Confirm reports before ordering

Valuation, environmental, building-condition and legal reports can involve costs and lender-specific requirements. Ask which reports, providers and formats the lender will accept before committing money.

Share through a verified secure channel

This website does not collect loan documents. Verify the provider and its submission channel before sharing statements or identity records. Our planning brief contains only a high-level outline and cannot establish approval.
