Purpose

Finance land + vertical build for infill/spec single-family and small multi.

Structure Overview

  • Leverage commonly expressed as LTC (land + hard/soft costs) with staged construction draws.
  • Experience: many lenders expect at least one prior ground-up project in recent years.
  • Term: typically 12–24 months, interest-only during build.

Ideal Scenarios

  • Seasoned builders with reliable GC subs, clear budget, and defined exit (sale or DSCR lease-up).
