A good lender is not only the one that helps you get the best deal, but the one that supports you through various challenges.

What does it mean?

• A lender should be able to answer your questions and assist you with problems.


• A lender or a loan officer should help you develop a realistic construction timeline and budget for your project.


• Loan officers could also help you identify a reliable local contractor.


• As a construction loan is often released in several different phases, the lender should make sure you have all documents and costs in order, so that funding is being released. (You might need to know that banks send out inspectors to verify that the actual work was performed.)


• Also, you should be put in touch with someone (a representative) from Loan Service Department. If you have not been assigned anyone after your loan closes, you should ask for one. These representatives are typically persons with some experience, handling number of loans – setting inspections, processing draws of the loan or converting loans to mortgages after construction is completed. Try to establish good relationship and communication with this representative during the building process. It usually happens by phone or e-mail on a weekly basis.
