Brickline reviews the financing request around the land, construction plan, borrower profile, program guidelines, and investment strategy to help move qualified projects toward funding.

What is a New Construction Loan in Portland?

A New Construction Loan in Portland is business-purpose financing for real estate investors to fund the ground-up construction of eligible residential investment properties. It covers costs associated with building a new structure, often including land acquisition.

These loans are typically used for building new residential investment properties, such as single-family homes, duplexes, or small multi-unit properties, intended for sale or long-term rental upon completion.

New Construction Loans are typically disbursed in stages, known as draws, as specific milestones of the construction project are completed. This ensures funds are released in alignment with the project’s progress and budget.
