How It Works

1

Submit Your Project

Share your plans, budget, and timeline. We'll review the scope of work and give you a quick read on feasibility and loan structure.

2

Underwriting & Term Sheet

We review the project budget, plans, and your experience. Most borrowers receive a term sheet within 48–72 hours of a complete submission.

3

Appraisal & Closing

We order an as-completed appraisal and coordinate with title. Once approved, we close and fund the initial draw to get your project started.

4

Draw Requests

As construction progresses, submit draw requests tied to completed milestones. We inspect and fund draws quickly so your crew keeps moving.

Common Questions

How does a hard money construction loan work?

Construction loans are funded in draws as work is completed. You submit draw requests tied to milestones — foundation, framing, rough-ins, etc. — and we fund each draw after a brief inspection. Interest is charged only on the drawn balance, not the full loan amount.

Do you lend on spec homes in DFW?

Yes. We regularly fund spec home construction in Dallas, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and surrounding markets. Call us with your project details and we'll discuss terms.

Can I get a construction loan for a gut rehab?

Absolutely. Gut rehabs that involve significant structural work are treated similarly to new construction. We'll evaluate the scope of work and structure the loan accordingly.

How long does it take to close a construction loan?

Once we have a complete file — plans, budget, and property information — we can typically close within 1–2 weeks.
