Common Questions
Construction & Rehab Financing — Frequently Asked Questions
What types of projects may qualify for construction and rehab financing?
Eligible projects vary by lender and may include ground-up construction, major rehabilitation, value-add renovation, and mixed-use development. Specific eligibility requirements depend on the lender, project scope, and borrower qualifications.
How are construction funds disbursed?
Construction and rehab funds are typically disbursed through a draw schedule, with funds released as work is completed and verified by the lender or an independent inspector. The specific process varies by lender.
Do I need a licensed contractor?
Most lenders require licensed and insured contractors for construction and rehabilitation projects. Requirements vary by lender, project type, and jurisdiction.
What is a construction-to-permanent loan?
A construction-to-permanent loan is a financing structure that covers the construction phase and then converts to a longer-term permanent loan upon project completion. Eligibility and terms vary by lender and program.
How is the loan amount determined for construction projects?
Loan amounts are typically based on factors including the land value, construction budget, projected completed value, and borrower qualifications. Each lender has its own underwriting criteria.
What happens if the project goes over budget?
Cost overruns are a common risk in construction and rehabilitation projects. Lenders may require budget contingencies, and additional funding for overruns is not guaranteed. It is important to discuss contingency planning with your lender before closing.
Construction and rehabilitation financing eligibility, loan amounts, rates, terms, leverage, draw schedules, and underwriting requirements vary by lender, program, borrower qualifications, project type, and transaction.
