Construction

Common Property Types

  • Acquisition borrowers – raw land

    Acquisition borrowers are often developers or investors. Developers use a short-term land acquisition loan when acquiring land, before they have construction plans or budget. That land loan will be taken out by a construction loan. Investors use long-term land acquisition loans when buying out a partner, or acquiring/refinancing raw land for other purposes (e.g. land lease).

  • Acquisition borrowers – yielding real estate

    Acquisition borrowers use long-term acquisition loans when buying yielding real estate (e.g. multiunit residential or commercial properties)

  • Construction loan borrowers

    Developers and investors use construction loans to finance hard costs, soft costs, and other construction expenses associated with residential, commercial, and industrial construction projects.

  • Refinancing borrowers

    Borrowers use refinance loan to replace existing debt or extract equity from an appreciated real estate asset. Common refinancing situations are: existing debt is maturing, new debt is cheaper than existing debt, and equity extraction.

The examples above are some of the more common Commercial Real Estate (‘CRE’) loan types. The loan marketplace platform supports many others. Use our Complimentary CRE Analysis to find out if the Funding Wizard® can find you a loan.
