Deal Summary
i Fund Cities, an alternative lending platform, funded a $764,403 senior-lien position ground-up construction loan for a single-family home in Greenville, SC. The purchase price of the land was $250,000 and the construction budget was $649,298. The completed value was estimated at $1,250,000, resulting in a loan-to-value of 61%. We discovered the builder’s projects on Zillow and were impressed by the quality of the work. After contacting the Builder, we learned that he had constructed 20-30 homes a year and faced challenges due to limitations from banking relationships that capped the number of spec homes he could build. Please he experienced unreliable execution from his previous hard money lender. Recognizing the Builder’s experience and needs, iFC provided flexible funding and closed the first deal in under two weeks. The Borrower gained a reliable lender capable of supporting his long-term business growth. The loan term was set at 12 months. This private construction loan was funded in June 2024.
