The pre-approval process for a real estate investment mortgage is document-heavy. However, the Plenti Exchange Portal makes this process automatic and simple for those using a loan for a 1031 Exchange. Here, we will delineate for kinds of documentation you need to get pre-approval for a loan with the most favorable terms:
- Business documentation
- Collateral documentation
- Tax returns
- Profit and loss statement

Ensure that you have this accurate and certified business information to supply to your mortgage broker when applying for a loan. These include:

Collateral Documentation
When applying for an investment property mortgage, the more attention you can give to refining your collateral documentation, the more likely you are to receive loan offers that have more favorable terms toward the lender. These include:

Tax Returns
Collect at least 3 years of tax returns (personal and business) in order to establish a record of IRS compliance and financial responsibility in order to improve the terms of the Qualified Mortgage for which you are approved. On your tax returns, loan officers most often look at:
- Debt-to-Income Ratio (DTI)
- Income Stability
- Available Collateral

Profit and Loss Statement
Consolidate your property’s revenue and expense records for your lender into a profit and loss report as proof of management competence in order to lower your perceived liability. A profit and loss statement should include:
- Gross Rental Income, Operating Expenses, and Operating Income
- Land and Structure Depreciation
- Taxes and P&L Reporting
