Document collection for rental property investors
Rental Property Investor Mortgage Documents: Checklist & Portal
Investor files scale badly: every property adds a lease, a mortgage statement and a tax bill. Startly keeps the whole package in one place so the fourth property is as easy to document as the first.
11 items, 9 required. The same checklist Startly asks Applicants for, before a Brokerage tailors it.
Why these files stall
What goes wrong with rental property investors.
Documents for five properties arrive in one giant, unlabeled email.
Missing T776 rental schedules stall the debt-service calculation.
Lenders ask for updated statements mid-file and you start over.
