Once your new construction property is rent-ready, reagh back out, and we can review possible rental refinance options!
At Black Swan Lending, we’re able to make exceptions for construction and rehab projects by qualifying your experience based on the licensed General Contractor (GC) overseeing the work. To do so, have a conversation with your GC to prepare the following required documents: GC Completion Guarantee, and Assignment of Contracts.
We can approve GCs for ground up construction with 3x permits pulled of any kind.
Our ground-up construction loans provide funds in stages, ensuring that money is allocated efficiently as your project progresses.
Example: If you’ve completed foundation and framing, you can request a draw for all of it at once. Or, if you just finished painting, you can get a small draw just for that. You stay in control of your financing.
No. You can take as many or as few draws as needed.
With extensive industry expertise and an unwavering commitment to service, our team has successfully partnered with hundreds of real estate investors on projects nationwide.
