Simple Construction Loan application process
Present a clear financial plan for your home project.
Private money lenders will fund 60 - 70% of the after-repair-value (ARV) of the home; you will be responsible for funding the additional 30 - 40% of the additional cost or "Skin in the Game". If you have this cash on hand, that will increase your chances of being approved for the loan. If you do not have the money to cover the additional 30 - 40% of the home's value, then the lender might put a lien on another property that you own.
- Most lenders will prefer that you have 30 - 40% of the additional cost in hand rather than using another loan or a credit card to finance the difference.
- This generally applies to Spec homes, not to large commercial projects. Those can get more detailed.
Prepare additional documentation. Although most lenders are concerned with the value of the property you want to buy, they may also ask for your personal financial information. This might include documents such W-2s, paystubs, bank statements and other items in your credit history. You should be prepared to present all of this information to your lenders.
