What this checklist helps you uncover
Use it before approaching a lender, broker, private capital source, or funding consultant.
1
Missing information
Identify documents, numbers, and project details that are not yet organized for review.
2
Capital gaps
Review down payment, closing costs, reserves, contingencies, and post-closing liquidity.
3
Weak assumptions
Test whether value, income, renovation costs, timing, and refinance expectations are supported.
4
Exit-strategy risk
Clarify how the loan may be repaid through sale, refinance, stabilization, or another defined outcome.

How to use your results
A checked box does not guarantee financing, and an unchecked box does not automatically disqualify a project. The goal is to identify the gaps that should be explained, documented, corrected, or incorporated into the capital strategy before the request is presented.
