Construction loans built for investors and builders. High leverage, low risk loans, flexible terms.
New Construction Loans
One Loan. Land + Construction. ARV-Based Approval.
New Construction Loans are short-term financing solutions tailored for real estate investors and builders developing a property from the ground up. These loans typically cover the purchase of land (if needed) and fund the costs of construction throughout various project phases. Rather than basing approval on current property value, construction loans are structured around the future value of the completed project. During construction, borrowers usually make interest-only payments, helping manage cash flow while the build is in progress.
What is a New Construction Loan?
Once construction is complete, borrowers have the option to refinance into a long-term loan—such as a DSCR loan—or sell the finished property for profit. This type of financing is ideal for investors looking to maximize returns through ground-up developments or major rehabs. New construction loans offer flexibility and scalability, making them a powerful tool for investors ready to take on larger, value-driven projects.

Benefits of New Construction Loans
Interest Only Payments
Only pay interest during the build phase—keep monthly costs low while your property takes shape.
Land & Construction Covered
Finance both the lot purchase and construction costs in one loan—no need for separate funding sources.
Based on ARV
Loans are underwritten using the After-Repair Value (ARV) of the completed project, allowing for higher leverage and more capital upfront.
How do New Construction Loans Work?
New Construction Loans can be used to purchase land or applied to a build project where the borrower already owns the land and uses it as equity. Approval is based on the projected After Repair Value (ARV) of the completed property, as well as your construction plans and budget. Funds are released in stages through a draw schedule tied to specific milestones, which are verified throughout the build.
During construction, borrowers make interest-only payments on the funds that have been drawn, which helps keep monthly costs manageable. Once the project is finished, the loan is typically repaid by selling the property or refinancing into a long-term loan, such as a DSCR loan.
