Frequently Asked Questions – Colorado Construction Loan FAQs
Welcome to the Colorado construction loan FAQs section for YourLOI — your trusted partner for Colorado construction loans for investors. Below you'll find answers to the most common questions we receive about our ground-up construction financing programs across colorado
A construction loan is a short-term, asset-backed loan designed to fund the full scope of ground-up development projects. It covers costs like land improvement, materials, labor, permits, and more. Our Colorado construction loans are ideal for real estate investors building new single-family, multifamily, or commercial properties.
Pre-approvals are typically issued within 24–48 hours once you submit the required documentation. Closings can occur in as little as 7–10 business days, depending on the project scope and underwriting review.
To qualify, investors must meet these key requirements:
– Proof of land ownership or site control
– Detailed construction budget and timeline
– Feasible exit strategy (sale, refinance, or rental)
– Prior experience in real estate development is preferred
Your LOI offers:
– Loan amounts from $250,000 to $5,000,000+
– Up to 85% Loan-to-Cost (LTC)
– Interest-only payments during construction
– 12–24 month loan terms
– No prepayment penalties on most loans
Funds are disbursed based on a construction draw schedule. After each milestone (e.g., foundation, framing, roofing), an inspector verifies completion and the next portion of funds is released. This structure protects the timeline and budget throughout the build.
Experience is preferred but not mandatory. If you’re a first-time developer, we may still approve your application if you are working with a licensed contractor or experienced project manager.
