A borrower-ready playbook from Best REI Funding: package a clean file, hit the 4 C’s, and move at hard-money speed—days, not months
The 4 C’s cheat sheet (Collateral ≤65% LTV on ARV, Character, Capacity & Exit, Credit) so you know the decision lens before you apply.
One-page Executive Summary template (address, numbers, ask, and exit) that an underwriter can scan in two minutes.
Value & ARV playbook: the exact comps and photo set to prove your ARV fast.
Scope, budget & draws (including the 10% contingency rule) so your rehab math holds up.
Skin-in-the-game options (cash, cross-collateral, credit discipline, or partner experience) to strengthen borderline files.
Performance checklist: answer the phone, hit milestones, own surprises, pay on time.
Banks are slow and rigid; hard money exists for speed and flexibility on real projects. This guide shows you how to package a file the way Best REI actually underwrites, so you can line up funding while competitors wait.
Follow the steps, stay at or under 65% of ARV, present a real exit, and your file moves to the top of the stack—making funding in days realistic (the book even shows a 96-hour close).
The ebook lays out a proven process that maximizes approval odds; actual funding depends on your deal fitting the 4 C’s (collateral ≤65% ARV, a real exit, character, and credit story).
Investors who need speed (flips, bridge, quick take-downs, credit-light scenarios) and might not understand why they keep getting rejected when looking to finance deals.
