How do I use filters to find lenders effectively?

After you create an offering memorandum, you'll notice in your lender results that there are some filters shown at the top of the page. These are really important in ensuring you're seeing the best and most relevant lenders for your deal.

Janover Pro uses two different kinds of filters: wide filters and precise filters. Both are important to get right.

Wide Filters

Filters marked with an orange dot 🟠 are "wide" filters that open more doors with each selection. 

Think of it like finding a place to eat on a food app. If you tick Mexican and Chinese, you'll see Mexican and Chinese restaurants — not the one Mexican-Chinese fusion place (do those even exist?) in your area.

This means if you select banks and credit unions, you'll get a list of banks and credit unions. All the results will meet at least one of those criteria.

Precise Filters

Filters marked with a blue dot 🔵, on the other hand, are "precise" filters that help you narrow down your list to lenders that meet every one of your requirements.

In Janover Pro, the precise filters are Execution Types and Property Types. So, for example, if you choose "multifamily" and "bridge", you'll only see lenders that offer multifamily bridge loans. 

Use Both to Get the Best Results

Most of the time, you'll want to use both types of filters — and they do work well together. Just keep in mind which type of filter is which, and you're sure to get a solid list of potential lenders for your next deal in seconds.
