Fuel Your Vision: Partner with Us for Streamlined Construction Financing

Unlock Project Potential with Flexible, Asset-Based Construction Loans Designed for Investors Like You.

As a strategic real estate investor, you see opportunity where others see risk. You identify undervalued land, envision transformative renovations, or plan lucrative ground-up developments. But securing timely, flexible financing for the build phase can be a major hurdle. Banks move slowly, demand excessive red tape, and often shy away from the unique dynamics of construction. That’s where we step in.  As a private lender, we understand the unique needs of real estate investors and developers. Our construction loans are designed to provide the necessary funding to bring your project to life. Here’s a detailed overview of how our construction loans work and the benefits they offer to investors like you.

What is a Private Construction Loan?

A construction loan is a short-term financing solution that provides the necessary funds to build or renovate a property. Our construction loans are tailored to meet the specific needs of real estate investors and developers, offering flexible terms and competitive interest rates.

A private construction loan from us is short-term financing (typically 12-24 months) specifically designed to fund the hard and soft costs of building or renovating investment properties. Unlike traditional mortgages based primarily on your personal income, our loans are primarily asset-based. We focus on the viability of your project, the value of the underlying real estate (including the future After-Repair Value – ARV), and your proven expertise as an investor.

How It Works 

A Partnership for Profit. Think of us as your financing partner, providing the capital engine to turn your blueprints into profitable reality. Here’s the streamlined process:

Pre-approval and Planning: We work with you to secure pre-approval for a construction loan and review your construction plan and budget.

Project Evaluation & Pre-Qualification: You present your project plan, budget, timeline, ARV appraisal, and experience. We assess the feasibility, the strength of your team (builder/GC), and the property’s potential.

Loan Structuring & Approval: We move quickly. Based on our assessment, we structure a loan tailored to your project:

Loan Amount: Based on a percentage of the project’s costs (Loan-to-Cost – LTC) and/or the future ARV (Loan-to-Value – LTV).

Interest Rate & Points: Competitive rates reflecting the short-term nature and project risk, often interest-only during the build phase. Points (an upfront fee) are common.

Term: Aligned with your realistic construction timeline (e.g., 12, 18, 24 months).

Interest Reserve: Often included to cover interest payments during construction, easing your cash flow burden.

Loan Disbursement: We disburse funds in stages, known as “draws,” as construction milestones are met. You’ll only pay interest on the amount drawn, not the entire loan amount.

Construction Phase: The construction team builds the property according to the approved plan, and we monitor progress and disburse funds accordingly.

Project Completion & Exit: Once construction is finished and the certificate of occupancy is issued, the loan matures. You have clear options:

Refinance: Secure long-term financing (e.g., DSCR loan) based on the newly completed property’s stabilized value and rental income.

Sell: List the property, repay our loan in full from the sale proceeds, and realize your profit.

Renew/Extend (if applicable): Discuss potential short-term extensions if needed for lease-up or sale (subject to terms, or pay off the loan in full.

Benefits for Investors

Construction loans offer several benefits to investors, including:

  • Flexibility: Construction loans allow you to fund construction costs without having to pay for the entire project upfront.
  • Interest-only payments: You’ll only pay interest on the amount drawn, reducing monthly payments during the construction phase.
  • Customization: Construction loans can be tailored to meet the specific needs of your project.

Why Partner with a Private Lender Like Us for Your Construction Loan?

  • Speed: Close in days or weeks, not months. Capitalize on opportunities quickly.
  • Flexibility: Customized loan structures based on your project’s unique needs and your investor profile. We understand the nuances of construction.
  • Asset-Based Focus: Your equity in the deal and the project’s merit are paramount. We’re less focused on personal tax returns than banks.
  • Expertise: We specialize in construction financing and understand the challenges investors face.
  • Predictable Access to Capital: Draw schedules ensure funds are available as needed to keep your project moving smoothly.
  • Interest Reserves: Built-in coverage for interest payments during construction protects your cash flow.

The Bottom Line for You, the Investor:

Our private construction loans provide the essential, efficient capital bridge between acquisition/ completion and your profitable exit strategy (refinance or sale). We empower you to leverage your expertise and equity to maximize returns on your development and rehab projects, without the constraints of traditional bank financing.
