Why bother

An estimate loses the deal. A commitment wins it.

Most investors find the property first and figure out the money second. That order costs you the deals that go to whoever can prove they will close.

Peace of mind, backed by a real commitment

A credit commitment letter is issued once you are pre-approved, giving you, and any seller, confidence you can close. Not just an estimate.

Letters you can generate yourself

Once you are pre-approved, generate a purchase pre-approval letter for any property in seconds, right from your dashboard. No waiting on our team.

Move faster once you are under contract

Your credit, background, and financials are already verified, so there is far less to underwrite when a deal shows up. That cuts the time and effort it takes to close.

How it works

Five steps, and only three of them are yours.

The whole flow lives in the Borrower Portal. Start it on a Tuesday night, finish it when your documents are ready.

1

Pick your entity

Choose an organization you already have, or create a new one. Not formed yet? Check one box, keep your place, and name it later.

2

Tell us what you hunt

Project types, deal volume, average deal size, target market. This is what sizes your limits to the work you actually do.

3

Verify once

Entity documents, ID, a soft credit pull, a background check, two months of statements. Your project history we pull ourselves.

4

We review

Nothing left for you to do. We look at the credit, background and financials and come back with a decision.

5

Get it in writing

A Credit Commitment Letter with a total active loan amount and the number of projects you can run at once.

Verification

One document run, then you stop repeating yourself.

This is the heavier part, and it is the part that turns a pre-approval into the highest limits you qualify for. Do it once, up front, instead of scrambling for it while a seller waits.

  • Entity documents. EIN letter, formation docs, operating docs. Exactly which ones depends on whether you are an LLC, a corporation, a partnership or a trust, and the portal tells you.
  • A soft credit pull. Soft only. It does not affect your score, and there is no hard-pull path in this flow.
  • Background check and statements. Your two most recent months, all pages, from an account tied to the entity or its owners.
  • Experience and track record. We do this for you. Upright pulls your full project history from our own records, so there is nothing to track down.
Entity not formed yet? Start anyway. You can run the whole verification with a placeholder name and add the entity documents once the paperwork clears.

The payoff

Two letters. You control both.

The first tells a seller what Upright has committed to you. The second names the property you are chasing this week, and you make it yourself in seconds.

The Credit Commitment Letter

Issued once you are pre-approved. It sets a total active loan amount and the number of projects you can run at once, so an agent can see how much you can take on right now, not just on this house. It is valid for 90 days. After that, updated documents may be needed to renew it.

What it is not. The Credit Commitment Letter is not a guarantee of financing for any specific project. It reflects a review of the credit, background and financial information submitted as of a date, and any loan is still subject to a specific property, final deal terms, and a completed application that meets Upright's underwriting guidelines. We say that on the letter, because a seller's agent will ask.
