How long does the approval process take?
With a thorough, completed application, we can work very quickly in issuing an approval. The background check usually takes a week to turn-around and if there are no issues, we can issue an approval shortly thereafter. If there are questions or documentation is missing, the process should take no longer than 4 weeks, unless we do not receive timely responses from the applicant.

Also, please note that while you are applying for a line of credit, it may be best to simultaneously apply for a correspondent approval with your end investors to expedite that process. For existing correspondents, we will just ask for documentation of your investor approvals.

How does a warehouse line benefit me?
A few of the benefits include:

  • Increased control over the closing process in that you can pull closing documents yourself instead of subjecting yourself to the turn-time of most investors
  • Better pricing on correspondent rate sheets vs broker rate sheets
  • Volume incentives
  • Advertise your company as a lender
  • Avoid disclosing YSP

What sort of support staff do I need to manage a warehouse line efficiently?
One option is to hire on a third party warehouse management company who can handle all funding requests and post-closing and shipping procedures. Otherwise, depending on your volume, it would be a good idea to dedicate at least one employee to managing the warehouse line.

Do you have any net worth requirements?
We require a net worth of at least $200,000. In addition to the financial profile, we do weigh our approval more heavily on the credibility and reputation of the customer and their ability to effectively use a warehouse line of credit.
