important things to know

REMINDERS FOR ALL LOAN TYPES

We can close hard money loans 7 days from the date we receive all of the following: Contract, repair budget, and asset documentation.  

Any delays in providing documents will delay closing.

Requested Documentation:  All required documents requests from the loan officer or production partner should be submitted no later than 48 hours of request.  All requested documentation is needed to start & finalize the long-term finance loan, well in advance of rehab completion. 

Waiting to send documents until the rehab is complete is a problem.  This could adversely impact the loan closing on time and/or affect your overall approval

Appraisals

Catalyst has a special non-owner-occupied panel of appraisers selected for their expertise and experience in appraising investment properties.

 

Borrower Portal

The Borrower Portal is where you will be able to see the progress of your loan(s), submit for draws, appraisal payment, and lots of other great features!  You will receive an email to create your portal. Once created, your portal is open and you can access all of its features. Please click here to learn more about the Borrower Portal.

Closings

If you are buying this property as an individual and not in an LLC and your spouse is NOT going on this loan, we will require that he or she signs the Deed of Trust at closing. By signing, the non-borrowing spouse confirms that you are making an investment purchase, which cannot be claimed as a homestead property by law. Since Texas is a community property state, this is a requirement. 

 

Loan Payments

Catalyst Funding services its loans internally! You will receive additional information regarding the servicing process and information regarding your payments at closing. In an effort to make things easy on you as a customer and ensure more efficient loan servicing overall, we require all loans are set up on auto-draft/ACH.  You will add your ACH information to the borrower portal. This information must be provided in the borrower portal before closing. Payments are deducted in full on the first of each month.

Funding

Funding for your transaction will typically take place 24 to 48 hours from the time we receive all executed closing documents from the title company.  That includes the documents signed by the seller so if they are closing later than you, the “clock” won’t start until they have closed, and we have received the documents. Additionally, if any parties are mail-outs or closing via mobile notary from a remote location, funding may be delayed by the additional days it takes for the documents to reach the title company. Many times, buyers will try to schedule contractors to start work the day of or after closing.  Please understand that your contractor cannot start work until the loan has funded.

 

It is your responsibility to coordinate receiving keys from your seller.
