CONSTRUCTION LOAN

A construction loan is a type of short-term loan specifically designed to finance the construction of a new building or significant renovations to an existing property. Unlike a traditional mortgage, which is used to purchase an already-built home, a construction loan provides funds in stages as the construction progresses.

The loan is fixed or variable for up to 3 years with interest-only amortization. The loan is due at the end of the 1 to 3-year term. No prepayment penalty in most cases. Eligible properties include multifamily 5+ units, 1-4 unit residential, condos, office, retail, industrial, manufactured housing, self-storage, hotels, and healthcare.

Construction Loans are short-term interim loans designed for new construction and major rehab projects before securing long-term financing or disposition.
