Choose your market

## Three counties. Start with the exact address.

### Miami-Dade

For a Miami or Miami Beach purchase, identify whether you are financing a house, a condo unit or a larger income property. A condo review should include building-level information alongside the unit value. Rental assumptions need to match the intended and permitted use.

### Broward

For a Fort Lauderdale apartment or residential investment, organize the current leases, expenses and improvement schedule. Model the effect of any vacancy during work rather than treating all projected income as available from day one.

### Palm Beach

For a Boca Raton or West Palm Beach acquisition, include association costs and any applicable membership obligations in the purchase analysis. For cash-out financing, distinguish the proposed commitment from cash left after the existing debt and closing costs.

Before requesting terms

## Put the full property cost on one page.

### Insurance and condition

Request a property-specific insurance quote and review condition reports. A nearby property is useful context, but its premium or repair budget is not a substitute for the subject property’s costs.

### Association and project documents

Where an association applies, request current fees, assessment information and governing documents. For renovation or construction, document the work, contractor pricing, permits needed and expected timeline.

### The exit and a fallback

Explain whether repayment depends on a sale, a long-term refinance or another source. Show what changes if renovation takes longer, rent is lower or a sale closes later than expected.

Funding is subject to underwriting, approval, complete documentation and closing readiness. Availability and terms depend on the property, location and transaction. A 48-hour target is not a guaranteed funding commitment. Calculator figures and deal examples are illustrative, not offered terms or actual company closings. Property and people photography does not depict actual staff, borrowers or funded transactions.
