Investor Pre-Approval Readiness

The file we need before we can tell you what you can buy.

Direct answerInvestor pre-approval is a package, not a credit score: government ID, income proof, a personal net worth statement, a schedule of real estate owned, and proof of down payment. Bring that to a strategy call and the desk can size the next purchase instead of requesting documents for two weeks.

Educational. Confirm live lender terms.

What this is

A gated document list for Canadian (and cross-border) investors who want a real pre-approval or a useful strategy call — not a rate quote with no room behind it.

Stop the document drip

One list instead of six email threads after you already have an offer.

Schedule of real estate owned is required so existing debt does not surprise TDS or the DSCR desk.

Works with the PNW workbook

The same net-worth Excel is the PNW line on this list.

Questions

Is this a commitment?
No. It is the intake pack so a pre-approval or strategy call is based on real numbers.
I only have one rental. Do I still need a schedule of real estate owned?
Yes — even one property with a mortgage belongs on the schedule.
