Name the purpose before sizing the request
Describe what the proceeds would support: another rental acquisition, investment-property work or another business activity. Financing arranged here is not for personal, family or household use. A clear business objective helps distinguish the transaction from a refinance that only replaces existing debt.
The requested amount should be connected to the current payoff, transaction costs and the business funds needed. An estimated value does not determine available proceeds. The lender’s appraisal, ownership requirements, equity guidelines and income analysis influence whether a structure can be considered.
Recheck the rental rather than reusing old numbers
Bring current leases, the parcel tax bill and insurance information. A payment that once fit the rent may not describe the new scenario. If leases have changed, a unit is vacant or insurance terms are being revised, make that visible. Separate documented income from a proposed rent increase.
For a portfolio, identify which property secures the current debt and which property would secure the new obligation. Release provisions and existing prepayment terms deserve review before assuming that equity can move freely between buildings. Legal and tax advisers should evaluate the implications of the transaction.
What to include in the request
Provide the address, property type, ownership history, current debt statement, estimated value and requested amount. Explain the use of proceeds and confirm non-owner-occupied investment use. If the property was acquired through a land contract, add the agreement and payoff contact so title and program questions can be identified.
