The path to closing

  • number 1

    Reserve your share

    Pacaso schedules a call to kick off your closing. You’ll sign the residential purchase agreement and addendum. You’ll receive instructions on how to wire your deposit, which is 10% of the share price.

  • Number 2

    Review and sign documents

    You’ll receive two packets of documents to review and sign. The first includes the house policy, program manager agreement, inspection report and seller disclosures. The second has the operating agreement and ACH form for monthly operating expenses.

  • Number 3

    Secure financing

    If you are financing a portion of your purchase, you must provide Pacaso with your most recent pay stub, bank statement and tax return. In addition, you will need to supply a credit report authorization.

  • Number 4

    Prepare for closing

    Pacaso schedules a check-in call 5 days before closing. We’ll review your closing statement and wire instructions for sending the remaining funds. We’ll confirm all documents are signed and verify your first stay date.
