Procedures
The following is to give any prospective client/broker/borrower an understanding of the typical process involved with most loan programs.Pre-Underwriting
The initial underwriting is based on the criteria of the individual loan program. To submit a loan proposal, the following material is needed for the pre-underwriting stage:
1. Loan Application or Loan Request Summary
2. Executive Summary or overview of the loan proposal
3. Current financial statement – business & personal
4. Last 3 years tax returns – business & personal
5. Agreement of sale, if any
6. Appraisal, if any
7. Color photographs of the property
8. In-file credit report or credit authorization
9. Breakdown of renovations/improvements, and use of proceeds
10. Business Plan, including 5 year proforma
Additional information may be required at other stages of the loan process, but not all of the above information will be required for every loan program.
Letter of Intent
Once a project meets the underwriting criteria, a Letter of Intent (LOI) is issued to the borrower. The LOI outlines the terms and conditions on which a loan would be based. These terms generally include the amount, loan term, interest rate, collateral, borrowers, guarantors, origination fee and any other essential information, terms or conditions. This letter of intent is not a commitment to fund.
Upon issuance of an LOI, there may be a fee to cover the costs of application, in-house underwriting, document, financial and appraisal review. This fee can be credited against any Origination Fee payable in connection with the closing of a transaction.
Due Diligence/Site Inspection/Commitment
Following receipt of the executed Letter of Intent, we begin the process of formal due diligence. Based on the initial submission material and preliminary discussions with the prospective borrower or borrower’s agent, Quaker State will determine what additional information is required, if a site inspection is required, if a commitment can be issued at this time and what third party reports will be mandatory.
It is determined on a case-to-case basis and the individual loan parameters. In each case, our goal is to satisfy any and all underwriting criteria in order to determine final funding conditions.
After all conditions are met, a firm commitment will be issued with final terms and conditions to proceed to funding .
