How to Become a PropertyFit Capital Provider

To become an enrolled Capital Providers complete and submit the Capital Provider Application and Capital Provider Agreement. As part of the enrollment process Capital Providers must agree to originate transaction in accordance with the PropertyFit Program guidelines. In addition, Capital Providers must execute a Capital Provider Agreement and use the PropertyFit standard template documents as part of the closing of each transaction they fund.

 

Once approved, qualified Capital Providers can participate in two ways:

  • Directly originate PropertyFit projects and submit applications to PropertyFit for administrative approval and filing of the Benefit Assessment Lien

  • Respond to “request for offers” on projects originated by PropertyFit directly.  In some instances, property owners may apply to PropertyFit without a preselected capital provider. In such a case, PropertyFit will facilitate the solicitation of terms sheets from enrolled capital providers.
