How to Apply for Construction Financing
A commercial building or home construction loan provides the capital needed to get a project moving quickly, where the work needed for developing the building is considered when determining the project’s ultimate value. Unlike traditional real estate financing, where the current value of the property is used to collateralize the necessary financing, construction loans are determined based on the projected cost of the project and the property’s potential value.
The Benefits of Construction Financing From a Private Money Lender
Traditional bank financing of construction loans requires the borrower to have substantial assets and an excellent credit history, especially when used for anything beyond constructing your own residential, owner-occupied, single-family home.
Hard money lenders understand the cash flow needs of both established contractors and new investors, and they are familiar with the unique financing needs of real estate investors, Realtors, and construction companies. Construction financing provides the steady cash flow needed for commercial construction projects such as industrial buildings, apartment complexes, and retail centers. With the right construction financing, investors have the ability to purchase, build, renovate, or add onto an existing building, having the money they need to move quickly, which is crucial for real estate investment opportunities. The money from a construction loan can be used for anything needed to finance the project, such as labor, materials, and equipment, as well as the purchase of the property. These hard money loans from private money lenders are typically either short-term construction financing or long-term, permanent construction financing. The loan can be tailored to your individual needs.

Speedy approval and funding, along with softer collateral requirements, come with shorter loan terms and higher interest rates. Hard money loans are usually available for up to 24 months at rates competitive to similar loans, but are usually higher than standard bank loans.
