Acquisition Loans – raw land
Acquisition loans are often used by developers and 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 Loans – yielding real estate
Long-term acquisition loans can be used when buying yielding real estate (e.g. multiunit residential or commercial properties)

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