# Organize documents that support rental income

Keep income evidence tied to the property and reporting period. The required documents depend on the lender, rental use, and transaction.

## For an operating short-term rental

Organize available platform statements, booking or revenue reports, payout records, management statements, and supporting bank records. Keep gross receipts, deducted fees, and net payouts distinguishable. Explain unusual periods such as renovation closures or a change of manager.

## For a long-term rental

Prepare the lease, rent amount, term, and relevant payment evidence requested for review. New acquisitions may require other lender-approved support rather than an existing lease alone.

## For purchase or refinance

The team may also request the purchase contract, current mortgage statement, payoff information, insurance details, ownership/entity documents, and evidence of funds. This is a preparation list, not a universal underwriting checklist.

## Send securely

Use the designated secure document process. Do not email sensitive financial or identity records merely because you have a general contact email. Ask which documents and date ranges are needed before uploading.

Property and financing outputs are preliminary estimates, not an approval, rate lock, commitment, or guarantee. Eligibility and final terms require professional review and lender underwriting.
