Amanda had a question on a real estate investor who has a 35 unit apartment building needing to refinance out of a bridge loan. The apartment building was purchased needing work. As a real estate investor of 7 apartment complexes consisting of 3,000 units, lenders require the following:

1. Summary sheet of the purpose of the loan and property detail. Location. What condition is building in A, B, C, D tier and what type of area is the apartment in A, B, C, D.

2. Personal financial statement

3. Three years of tax returns for conforming traditional commercial loans

4. Current P and L and rent roll which is current and proforma. Eventually need copy of leases. Need to itemized income and expenses which includes insurance, property tax, payroll, utilities, maintenance, water, and third-party vendors. Number of units, and approximate square footage. Number of rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and does it have dining rooms. Parking spaces or carports.

5. Type of work done and itemized cost

6. Real estate purchase contract

7. Appraisal if available and estimation of value of the property

8. How many are market rent, and section 8 housing

9. Comparable rents in the area for studio, one bedroom, two bedroom, etc.

10. What type of loan program does the borrower prefer and/or expect: Recourse, or non-recourse. How many owners to the property. Is property individually owned or in a LLC or partnership. Traditional conforming commercial loan or hard money loan, or bridge financing.

11. Any deliquent outstanding bills such as mechanics lien, tax liens, or pending lawsuit.

We can start with this before we have a meeting with Dianne and see what type of loan program suits the borrower.
