## What areas in Arkansas are booming?

An instant quote will tell you if you qualify for the loan in under 1 minute of your time. It will also show you the a preliminary interest rate and loan amount. Once you select desired LTV (which can be changed later), your quote will be converted to a Loan File for processing purposes.

 

You will have to submit documents as part of your Loan File for underwriting. Documents we may ask for will include personal and property documents such as purchase contracts, current leases, borrowing entity documents, deeds, title work (we will engage a title company or an attorney on your behalf to draw up these documents), background and credit reports (that we will order), bank statements for liquidity verification as well as other documents that may be applicable to your specific deal.

Once all the loan documents are submitted, the Loan File goes through underwriting, at which point the underwriting committee may ask for additional documents depending on their discretion. Once the committee receives all the documents and approves the file, closing can be scheduled.

 

The closing, will be handled by the title company or at the office of closing attorney. Once closing is complete, funds will be wired. Post closing, the loan will be entered into servicing and you will receive information regarding setting up auto-pay or other options that may be available for your loan depending on the specific servicer's capabilities.

## What is a Certificate of Good Standing?

 

A Certificate of Good Standing is a document issued by the state in which your business is formed which certifies, as of the date issued, that your business has submitted all required documents, fees and filings.

 

When you obtain a Certificate of Good Standing, it means your business is duly formed and authorized to do business in the state, and that it is in compliance with certain statutory requirements. It essentially confirms that the entity is in good standing with the state authorities.

 

A Certificate of Good Standing is commonly required for business transactions such as obtaining financing, entering into contracts, or expanding operations to other states. Commercial, business purpose lenders who provide loans to business entities (typically LLC or corporation) will commonly require this document in as a standard underwriting guideline. It is required in order to obtain a [DSCR loan](https://www.offermarket.us/blog/dscr-loan) or [fix and flip loan](https://www.offermarket.us/blog/fix-and-flip-loans) from OfferMarket. 

 

All states provide this certificate upon request and satisfaction of requirements to be in good standing. A common source of confusion is the name that each state uses -- *Certificate of Good Standing*, *Certificate of Existence*, *Certificate of Status*, and *Certificate of Fact* are used among different states.

 

Depending on the state, the cost and timeline to receive your Certificate of Good Standing will vary.
