Depending on the scope of the project, each of the five ingredients may need to be verified and documented before any loan approval.
Small Fix N Flip Project can be financed fast, sometimes without a full-scale appraisal and with limited documentation.
Major developments, ground-up constructions, and land developments may require hundreds of documents before any loan approval.
The most critical
aspect of any real estate development is having permits to build. Without permits,
obtaining financing is challenging and requires the lender to assess the likelihood
of getting the permits and what it will entail.
One way a developer can bypass the permit obstacle is to pledge another property as additional collateral, which will satisfy the equity requirements and open the door for fast funding. Blanket loans are welcome by most hard money lenders and pave the road for fast financing. Alternatively, developers can obtain bank cash-out financing on existing property they already own and use the cash to get the permits before applying for the development loan.
For permits or No Permits, the lender may require some of the documents listed below before approving a real estate development loan.
