“How quickly can you fund?” is one of the most common questions CoreVest receives from existing line of credit borrowers.
Once a CoreVest line is active and a specific property is under contract, the underwriting, appraisal, and funding process may be completed in as little as seven to 10 business days. Actual timing depends on the transaction, the completeness of the submission, third-party diligence, and satisfaction of all funding requirements.
Borrowers can help keep the process moving by focusing on three areas: communication, responsiveness, and preparedness.
Do not wait until the closing date is approaching to notify the funding team. The earlier CoreVest receives the transaction details, the sooner the team can begin reviewing the property and coordinating required diligence.
Once a property is under contract, borrowers should promptly provide the requested information, which may include:
Connecting the CoreVest team directly with the title or settlement agent can also improve coordination and reduce unnecessary back-and-forth.
Title issues are a common source of closing delays. These may include:
Some title issues can be resolved quickly, while others require additional documentation or third-party action. Beginning the title review early gives the borrower, seller, title company, and lender more time to address potential problems.
Borrowers should verify that the name and vesting on the purchase contract, title documents, insurance policy, and loan documents are consistent.
The property must satisfy the applicable valuation requirements before funding. Depending on the transaction, this may involve an appraisal, inspection, broker price opinion, automated valuation, or another approved method.
When a physical inspection is required, borrowers should:
Missed appointments or restricted access may require the inspection to be rescheduled, delaying the valuation and the proposed closing.
Required insurance must generally be in place or ready to be bound before an advance can fund. Coverage requirements vary based on the property, location, use, construction activity, and loan program.
Borrowers should contact their insurance provider early and provide the requested evidence of coverage. The policy and related documents may need to reflect:
Properties in areas with limited insurance availability or significant catastrophe exposure may require additional time. Waiting until the scheduled closing date to request coverage can place the transaction at risk.
Once the required diligence has been completed, the funding team can prepare the applicable documents.
Borrowers should review document requests promptly and coordinate with the seller, title company, attorney, or notary as needed. If a question or discrepancy arises, raising it immediately gives the parties more time to resolve it without changing the closing date.
Before signing, confirm that:
Borrowers should independently verify wiring instructions using a known telephone number before transferring funds. Last-minute changes to wiring instructions should be treated with caution.
Confusion can develop when several people provide conflicting information. Assigning one primary contact can help coordinate communications among the borrower, CoreVest, the title company, the seller, the appraiser, and the insurance provider.
That contact should monitor the closing checklist, respond to open items, and confirm that each party has the information needed to complete its work.
To help keep an advance on schedule:
A change in purchase price, seller, property condition, entity, renovation plan, or closing date may require additional review. Early notice gives the funding team the best opportunity to adjust without delaying the transaction.
An active line of credit can give experienced real estate investors access to pre-approved capital for acquiring, refinancing, renovating, or aggregating eligible properties. CoreVest can complete the underwriting, appraisal, and funding process for a specific asset in as little as seven to 10 business days once the line is active.
That timeline is not automatic or guaranteed. Complete information, early coordination, responsive third parties, clear title, acceptable valuation, appropriate insurance, and properly executed documents all influence when an advance can fund.
Communication, responsiveness, and preparedness remain the most effective ways to support a smooth and efficient closing.
CoreVest’s Line of Credit provides experienced residential real estate investors with reusable capital for acquiring, repositioning, stabilizing, and aggregating eligible properties.
