Frequently Asked Questions

Construction loan draws are funds you request from your loan during the building process. At closing, funds are distributed to cover the land and closing costs. The remaining loan amount becomes available as “draws” for construction-related expenses. The best part? You only pay interest on the amount you’ve drawn, not the full loan amount.

Policy Updates You Should Know

Updated LTV Maximums: To give you more flexibility, we’ve increased the LTV to 85% for contractor-led builds and 80% for self-builts.

Improved Risk Management for Self-Builds: A 20% verified down payment is required to reduce risks.

Reserve Documentation: For cost-plus contracts, you’ll need to provide two months of reserve documentation (e.g., bank or retirement statements) to verify funds for any overages.
