Fast closings aren’t magic—they’re strategy. Private lenders move quickly when borrowers stay organized, transparent, and proactive. If you want your deals funded in days rather than weeks, you need to understand what lenders expect and how to present your file so they can underwrite immediately.
Here are the real secrets behind fast closings.
1. Preparation Creates Speed
Most borrowers try to rush the lender, but that isn’t what creates speed.
Fast closings happen when borrowers deliver complete, clean documentation from day one.
Blurry IDs, missing bank pages, and scattered emails guarantee delays.
2. Submit the 5 Core Documents First
Private lenders can underwrite most of your deal with just five items:
- Government ID
- Entity documents
- Bank statements
- Experience sheet
- Deal summary
Submit these in ONE PDF, not multiple messages.
Organized borrowers get priority.
Disorganized borrowers wait.
3. Build a One-Page Deal Summary
Lenders don’t need a novel—they need clarity.
Your summary should contain:
- Purchase price
- Rehab budget
- ARV
- Timeline
- Exit strategy
- Realistic comps
Simple, clean numbers create trust.
Complicated documents create doubt.
4. Communicate Like a Professional
Private lenders quietly judge you by your communication.
Fast responses = reliable borrower.
Slow responses = risk.
Your reply time directly affects your closing speed.
5. Be Transparent Early
Lenders aren’t scared of issues—they’re scared of surprises.
If you have credit bumps, large deposits, limited experience, or documentation concerns, disclose them early.
Transparency builds confidence and keeps the closing on track.
6. Control Your File
Too many partners, agents, or contractors can slow everything down.
Fast closings happen when one decision-maker leads the communication.
Less noise = more speed.
Final Thoughts
Private lenders don’t close fast because they’re “magic.”
They close fast because organized borrowers make it easy.
If you want speed, deliver clarity, control, and complete documents from day one.
