YOU ARE APPLYING FOR A GROUND UP CONSTRUCTION LOAN.
This means you own a piece of land and no property is built on the land at all; yet. A ground up construction loan involves starting a building project from a parcel of land and working toward a finished building. This can also be a full tear down and re-build; which we consider a ground up construction loan.
Loan parameters are as follows:
• Final plans and permits must be in place.
• The land must be owned free and clear.
• Land must be shovel ready with all infrastructure in place (i.e. roads, water, electric, gas etc.) We do not provide horizontal infrastructure or land development financing.
• We only provide vertical hard cost financing that works on a reimbursement schedule. This means the client must start the construction with their own funds, and then we will reimburse you in draws ONLY for work completed, and only after a site inspector verifies the completed work. There is no limit to the amount of draws you can request. There is a $200 fee for each site inspector visit. After each site inspection is complete, you will be reimbursed for construction costs within 3-4 business days.
• If this is a PUD (condo, townhome or single family home development) we only lend per property (and only 3-5 at a time) so when applying please only enter numbers for one single home a.k.a the numbers you give us need to be broken down for one single family home (or property).
These rules also apply to ground up construction of properties zoned commercial.
