A spec builder contacted us this week after 8 weeks of back-and-forth with his bank on a ground-up construction loan in Broward County, FL.
Their list: 2 years of personal W2s (his LLC is 3 years old - "too new"). 6 months of reserves. Proof the lot was in an approved lending zone. A letter from his contractor confirming the build timeline.
He sent all of it. The bank still said no - "we do not lend on spec builds."
He called us Monday. We had terms back Tuesday. He closed in 14 days.
He is pulling permits this week.
Private lenders fund the deal, not the paperwork.
