How lenders assess a project
Land basis, total project cost, completed value, permits, builder qualifications, borrower experience, cash contribution, contingency and the exit strategy. Loan-to-cost and loan-to-value limits differ by program.
Prepare your scenario
Gather the site location, land ownership or purchase terms, plans, construction budget, contractor information, permit status, projected schedule and proposed sale or refinance plan.
Common questions
Before you submit your scenario
How are construction funds released?
Construction loans typically use staged draws tied to verified progress. Inspections, retainage and draw procedures depend on the lender.
Can I build the project myself?
Owner-builder eligibility varies widely. Tell LVI who will manage and perform construction before assuming a program permits it.
Are primary-residence construction loans offered here?
This website focuses on business-purpose and investment-purpose financing. These commercial programs are not intended for a personal primary residence.
