Step 1: Initial Consultation & Property Analysis

We begin with a comprehensive discussion of your financing needs, property details, and investment objectives. I analyze:

• Property type, location, and current use
• Purchase price or refinance amount
• Current income (rent rolls, NOI, operating statements)
• Property condition and occupancy levels
• Your financial position (credit, net worth, liquidity)
• Timeline and urgency of financing need

Step 2: Financing Strategy & Lender Selection

Based on your property and objectives, I recommend the optimal financing structure:

• Traditional commercial mortgage (if property meets bank criteria)
• CMHC-insured financing (for multi-family with maximum leverage)
• Private lending (for fast closings or non-traditional situations)
• Construction or bridge financing (for development or value-add projects)
• Hybrid structures (combining multiple financing sources)

I present multiple lender options with detailed rate, term, and fee comparisons so you can make an informed decision.

Step 3: Application Preparation & Submission

I prepare a comprehensive lending package that maximizes approval probability:

• Property financial analysis (NOI, DSCR, cap rate analysis)
• Borrower personal and corporate financial statements
• Credit reports and explanation of any issues
• Property appraisal coordination
• Environmental assessments (Phase I/II ESAs)
• Lease documentation and rent roll verification
• Building condition reports
• Title searches and insurance

Applications are submitted to pre-qualified lenders with the highest probability of approval at competitive rates.

Step 4: Underwriting & Approval

Lenders conduct detailed due diligence including:

• Property valuation review and appraisal verification
• Income and expense analysis
• Environmental risk assessment
• Borrower credit and financial capacity review
• Legal review of title and leases

I manage all lender communications, respond to conditions, and negotiate terms on your behalf to ensure the best possible outcome.

Step 5: Commitment & Closing Preparation

Once approved, the lender issues a formal commitment letter outlining:

• Loan amount and interest rate
• Amortization and term length
• Fees (appraisal, legal, lender fees)
• Conditions precedent to funding
• Prepayment penalties and renewal terms

I review all commitment terms in detail, negotiate any unfavorable conditions, and coordinate with your legal counsel to ensure all closing requirements are met.

Step 6: Funding & Ongoing Support

At closing, I coordinate with all parties to ensure:

• Legal documents are properly executed
• Title insurance is in place
• Fire insurance meets lender requirements
• All closing conditions are satisfied
• Funds are released on time

Post-closing, I provide ongoing support for:

• Renewal negotiations when terms mature
• Refinancing opportunities as property values increase
• Additional property acquisitions and portfolio financing
• Construction or development project financing
