Construction Financing- How it Works

Posted on September 10, 2020September 10, 2020 by admin

Most property developers work with banks or lenders to actualize their dreams in real estate investing. Construction financing is mostly determined by the purpose and complexity of a project. For instance, is the building for sale or rental? Regardless of the purpose of your building, here is what you should know about construction financing. 

Construction Loans 

Construction loans are mostly used to pay for the construction works of a project. This loan is available as the construction project progresses. The sequence for the release of the loan is pre-determined. It can also be based on the raised certificate for the construction project. 

Interest on the loan is paid on the released funds and the risk of the lender is reduced because they closely match the outstanding loan to the construction value. Most developers make interest-only payments at the time of the construction. This means they pay the principal amount and interest after completing the construction project. 

Faster completion of the construction project reduces the amount of money to be paid in interest. It also lowers the cost of the borrowed money. Selling the completed property can also enable the developer to repay the principal amount. A developer can also use rental income proceeds to repay the loan by converting it into long-term financing. 

Guarantees and Collateral 

The property that is being developed is mostly used as security. In some cases, a bank can ask the developer to provide guarantees. In that case, the investor can agree to pay the bank personally if the project does not succeed. Thus, the bank can ask for the net worth of the developer before lending the money. 

Securing construction financing requires time and good preparation. Nevertheless, you will get good financing for your construction project if you have the right documents and meet the lending requirements of the bank.
