FAQ

How much do I need to have down for a project?

The loan is generally 85% of cost or 75% loan to value

Your down payment can come from cash or land already purchased.

Project equity could come from a separate piece of real estate that isn’t involved in the construction project.

Any pre-paid soft costs (architectural, engineering, financing, and legal fees, and other pre-construction expenses) can be included as equity.
