What is a ground up construction loan

Make the perfect project for the housing market you target a reality with a ground-up construction loan.

This financing option offers a single, short-term loan for all phases of new construction, with funding provided in stages as construction progresses. That makes it easier to bring your project to completion and put it on the market.

Costs covered by ground-up construction loans include:

  • Purchasing the land, if needed.
  • Project fees, such as permitting fees.
  • Design costs.
  • Materials.
  • Labor.

THE CONSTRUCTION DRAW PROCESS EXPLAINED

Funds for ground-up construction loans are generally disbursed as draws as the project reaches key milestones, not as a lump sum.

As each milestone is reached, the contractor requests a draw. Then, the investor reaches out to the lender. Once the lender verifies that the requested funds and completed work are a match, the lender disburses the funds, and the investor makes their payments.

With Myers Capital as your financer, you can count on fast and reliable construction draws to keep your project on track.

Qualifying for a Construction Loan

In general, construction loans have different qualifications than mortgages. They usually don’t involve collateral from the borrower, nor do they require W-2s, tax returns, or pay stubs.

What do lenders like Myers Capital look for when approving borrowers? 

  • Strong credit history.
  • Stable finances.
  • Absence of major financial obligations relative to total assets.
  • Established relationship and contract with a licensed, experienced, and qualified builder
  • In-depth information about the project itself, including timelines, cost and pricing, the construction plans, and more.


Is a Construction Loan a Mortgage?

No, this type of loan is not a mortgage. While construction loans cover land and the construction process, they are not long-term financing. Funding is generally in stages (and not as a lump sum), often covering a period of 6-24 months.

However, some construction loans are designed to automatically convert to mortgages at the end of their terms. Real estate investors can also pay off the loan in full as its term expires or separately secure a long-term mortgage loan for the property.

Our experienced and capable team can help you find both the right construction loan for your needs and effective options for moving forward with long-term financing.
