Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be a licensed builder in South Carolina?

No, but you must use a licensed general contractor for the vertical build. South Carolina permit and inspection compliance is handled by the GC on record.

How are construction draws handled in South Carolina?

We fund on a milestone draw schedule — typically 4–6 draws from foundation through CO. Each draw is released within 24–48 hours of a passing South Carolina inspection.

Can I use this loan for a spec home in a South Carolina suburb?

Yes — spec builds in South Carolina suburban and exurban submarkets are our sweet spot. We look at absorption rates and comparable new-construction sales to size the loan.

What happens at Certificate of Occupancy?

You can list the home for sale, or roll into our 30-year DSCR loan at CO to hold as a long-term rental. Many South Carolina builders now rent one out of every three spec homes.
