Private real estate transactions rarely fit one universal credit box. Direct Private Capital Group, Inc. reviews the transaction and may act as a lender, broker or referral source depending on the deal. This allows the financing review to consider the property, project structure and borrower circumstances together.

Common Borrower Questions & What to Expect

? BORROWER QUESTION
DPCG ANSWER
1
Can first-time investors qualify?
First-time investors may be considered. Experience requirements vary by transaction and financing source. The review may include the property, project budget, borrower contribution, liquidity, project team and exit strategy.
2
Do I need a traditional appraisal?
Not always. Certain eligible financing programs may use alternative property-valuation methods instead of a traditional third-party appraisal. Property valuation and collateral review are still required. Requirements vary by transaction, property, underwriting and financing source.
3
Can I finance a lot I already own?
Potentially. Existing land ownership and equity may be considered as part of the financing structure. The review may include the original land basis, current value, existing liens or payoff, construction budget, plans, permit status and requested financing.
4
Can an existing land loan be refinanced into construction financing?
Potentially. DPCG can review the existing payoff, title position, land basis and value, construction budget, plans, project status and requested loan amount to determine which financing structures may be available.
5
How are construction funds disbursed?
Eligible construction funds are generally released through a draw process as work progresses. Draw documentation, inspections, timing, interest mechanics and disbursement requirements depend on the applicable financing source and final loan documents.
6
How fast can my loan close?
Closing timelines vary by transaction. Timing depends on underwriting, title, valuation, insurance, documentation and other applicable conditions. If you have a deadline, include the required closing date when submitting the scenario.
7
Does submitting a scenario guarantee financing?
No. Submitting a loan scenario or completing a preliminary discussion is not an approval, commitment to lend or guarantee of financing. Final terms and funding remain subject to underwriting, documentation and applicable financing-source requirements.
8
What information should I have ready?
Start with the property, purchase price or current basis, requested loan amount, rehab or construction budget, estimated ARV or as-complete value, existing payoff if applicable, available liquidity, experience, timeline and exit strategy. Sensitive documents can be provided later through the appropriate secure process when requested.
