Rates & Term Length for Construction Loans in St Paul

Commercial construction loans are designed primarily as short term funding. They finance from the development of a property through leasing to renters. Many large traditional lenders will only provide permanent financing on properties after the building is fully leased. This allows the lender to review the history of financial details on an operational commercial property.

Construction loans, on the other hand, fill the gap between purchasing land and obtaining a permanent commercial real estate loan on a completed property. Consequently, construction loans hold a higher risk because they cover a building process where the scenario can rapidly change. Construction costs can increase over projections and contractors can fall behind their promised timelines. Because of a larger risk, construction loans in Saint Paul and throughout Minnesota typically offer higher rates than permanent commercial real estate loans.

Underwriting St Paul Construction Loans

With local commercial construction financing the new property hasn’t been built and so there isn’t any financial track record for it. Consequently, underwriting is based on the project’s plans and financial projections. Alternatively, permanent commercial real estate loans are underwritten based on the real estate’s financial history.

As a result our underwriting team starts by working up a detailed budget analysis of the property or construction project. We analyze the borrowers’ experience, financials of any key investors, and pro-forma. During placement and underwriting of commercial construction loans in St Paul there is commonly a review of tax returns, proforma, budget projections and estimates, construction plans, past tax returns, pro-forma, and a detailed breakdown of how the financing will be alloted during the project.
