Financing for new construction projects from land acquisition through completion. Land and construction in one loan with draws released as you hit milestones. First build or seasoned developer — both welcome.
A ground-up construction loan finances a build from raw or infill land through certificate of occupancy. It covers both the land acquisition and the vertical construction in a single loan, with funds released in draws as you hit defined milestones — foundation, framing, mechanicals, finishes.
As a direct lender working across Washington DC, I know the local markets — from Anacostia, Capitol Hill, Northeast (NE) and beyond — and I underwrite on the deal, not red tape. If your construction numbers work, you get a same-day answer and funding fast enough to compete.

Construction Loan FAQs
- Do I need prior construction experience?
- No experience required. I work with first-time builders and seasoned developers alike, with direct access to the decision makers. A licensed GC on the project strengthens the deal.
- Is land acquisition included?
- Yes. The loan can cover both the land acquisition and the construction costs, with funds released through milestone-based draws.
- How do construction draws work?
- Your construction budget is held in reserve and released in stages as work is completed and inspected — typically foundation, framing, mechanicals, and finishes. Fast inspections keep the project moving.
- What happens when the build is finished?
- At certificate of occupancy you exit the construction loan by selling the property or refinancing into permanent financing — often a DSCR rental loan if you plan to hold it.
- Do you fund small commercial construction?
- Yes. In addition to ground-up residential and spec builds, I fund small commercial and mixed-use construction projects. Send me the details and I will structure it.
