Creating Your First Deal

A deal in Lev represents a financing request for a property. This section walks you through creating your first deal from start to finish.

In This Section

You'll complete five steps to set up a deal:
  1. Enter basic property information
  2. Upload relevant documents
  3. Add financial details
  4. Specify loan requirements
  5. Use the loan sizing tool
Before You Begin
Gather the following: property address, basic property details (type, size, year built), financial information (purchase price, NOI), and loan request details (amount, type, terms).

Step 1: Entering Basic Deal Information

Start with the property address, asset type, and key details. This creates the foundation for lender matching.
  • Enter and confirm property address
  • Select asset type and subtype
  • Add property name and basic details

Step 2: Uploading Relevant Files

Add property documents, photos, and supporting materials. This helps lenders evaluate the opportunity faster.
  • Upload rent rolls and operating statements

  • Organize files into folders

Step 3: Entering Financial Information

Provide the financial details lenders need to evaluate your deal.

Why This Matters
Financial information is what lenders evaluate most closely. Accurate numbers help you get relevant quotes faster.
