New Construction financing for Lubbock investors

Anchored by Texas Tech, Lubbock offers dependable student and workforce rental demand at an affordable basis.

A ground-up construction loan funds new vertical construction — infill homes, spec builds, small multifamily, and townhome projects — from raw or entitled land through completion. Unlike a rehab loan, it finances the entire build, so the money is released in draws tied to construction milestones: foundation, framing, mechanicals, drywall, and final. You draw as you build and pay interest only on funds deployed, which keeps carrying cost down during the dirt-work and framing stages when nothing is generating income.

Leverage is usually described against cost and against value. Loan-to-cost (LTC) measures the loan against land plus hard and soft construction costs — lenders in our network often go up to roughly 80–85% LTC, sometimes funding 100% of vertical construction when the borrower brings the land or land equity. Loan-to-completed-value (or loan-to-ARV) caps the total facility against the finished appraised value, commonly in the 65–70% range, which is the lender's ultimate guardrail. A realistic budget, a licensed builder, and a defensible completed value are the three things that get a construction deal approved.

Lenders in our network often fund up to roughly 80–85% of total cost (LTC) and sometimes 100% of the vertical construction budget when the borrower brings the land, with the total capped against completed value.

How do construction draws work?+

Do I need building experience?+

It helps with pricing and leverage, and most lenders require a licensed general contractor on the project. First-time builders can often still qualify with a strong team, a realistic budget, and more equity.
