Finance Factors has a unique underwriting approach to all of our lending, including construction loans. Here are some of the challenges that could arise and our approach to resolving them.

• Insufficient down payment? Borrowers can cross-collateralize another property and use the combined Loan-to-Value (LTV) to finance 100% or more of the project, including debt service during the construction period.
• Investor loan challenges? We lend to mainland and foreign borrowers, and we also allow for an entity to be on Title or the Note: LLCs, Corporations, Partnerships and Trusts are accepted with a personal guarantor.
• High DTI ratio? With sufficient equity we can establish a debt-service account to pay all or part of the monthly payments during the construction phase of the loan.
• Need more time to build? Contracts in excess of $450,000 qualify for an 18-month construction term. Call us if you need an even longer term for larger jobs.
• Need more money? Our standard loan amounts go up to $1,500,000. If you have a larger request give us a call.
• Other underwriting issues? We have no minimum FICO score requirement, but we will mitigate a low FICO with a lowered LTV. Call us to discuss low FICO scores and unusual/difficult income and employment situations.
