Ground-Up Construction Loans. Build from the Ground Up with

At Harvest REI, we specialize in helping real estate investors bring their projects to life—literally from the ground up. Whether you're building a custom home, townhome development, or a small multifamily project, a Ground-Up Construction Loan can give you the capital and flexibility to control every phase of the build

What Is a Ground-Up Construction Loan?

A Ground-Up Construction Loan is a short-term financing solution designed to fund the full construction of a property, starting from raw land to a finished, livable structure.

Unlike renovation loans or bridge loans, ground-up loans are meant for new builds only, allowing you to create real estate from scratch, not just improve it.

How Does It Work?

Here’s a simple breakdown of how the process typically works:

  1. Land Ownership or Purchase – You already own the land or plan to buy it.
  2. Loan Approval – Based on your credit, liquidity, and project plan.
  3. Draw Schedule – Funds are disbursed in phases, based on construction milestones.
  4. Construction Period – Monthly interest-only payments on the amount used.
  5. Exit Strategy – Sell the property or refinance into a long-term mortgage.

💡 Some of our programs even allow 0% down, and interest payments are rolled into the loan, paid at the end when you sell or refinance.

What Type of Properties Qualify?

Ground-up construction loans through Harvest REI can fund:

  • Single-Family Residences (SFR)
  • Small Multifamily Projects (2–4 units)
  • Modular or Manufactured Homes (in eligible programs)
  • Rural, Suburban, and Urban Projects Nationwide (including hard-to-finance areas like ND, SD)

Why Investors Choose Ground-Up Construction Loans

A Ground-Up Construction Loan is a short-term financing solution designed to fund the full construction of a property, starting from raw land to a finished, livable structure.

Unlike renovation loans or bridge loans, ground-up loans are meant for new builds only, allowing you to create real estate from scratch, not just improve it.

Things to Keep in Mind

Ground-up loans offer big rewards—but also come with unique responsibilities:

  • Permits & Planning Required – Some programs require permits before underwriting.
  •  Construction Experience Matters – Some lenders require prior projects or a builder's track record.
  • Draw Schedules – Funds are released in stages, not all at once.
  • Liquidity & Net Worth – Be prepared with reserves or land equity.

Is a Ground-Up Construction Loan Right for You?

This loan could be a great fit if:

✅ You own land or are under contract to buy
✅ You (or your builder) have experience with new construction
✅ You’re looking to build and sell or hold for rental
✅ You want high-leverage financing with flexible requirements.

Explore Other Options If You:

  • Prefer turnkey or existing properties
  • Are a first-time investor with no construction team
  • Don’t have the time to manage a build
  • Want faster, lower-risk transactions
