Financing Your Dream Home or Investment Property
Building a home or investment property in Los Angeles requires more than vision—it requires the right financing. Construction loans provide the capital needed to cover construction costs, but accessing this loan can be complex. At LBC Mortgage, we have experience helping clients secure construction loans that suit their unique needs. If you’re building a custom home or multi-unit building, we have the experience and support to make it easy and efficient.
Why Choose a Construction Loan in Los Angeles?
There is a competitive real estate market with healthy demand for custom homes and investment real property present in Los Angeles. You can construct a home of your preference and maximize its value using a construction loan.
Build a Custom Home
Buying a pre-built home may not provide you with the floor plan, style, or amenities you want. A construction loan enables you to design and construct a home according to your imagination, ranging from architectural types to high-end amenities.
LBC Mortgage works with experienced builders and developers across Los Angeles. We help facilitate you to obtain the correct terms of the loan and keep the funding cycle in harmony with your building schedule.
Develop an Investment Property
Los Angeles is a good real estate investment market. Constructing a multi-family home or rental property can produce good returns, but construction financing involves careful planning.
We have experience in construction loans for investment property, with competitive terms and rates. We are familiar with the local market and assist you in structuring the financing to enhance your investment returns.
Types of Construction Loans Available
LBC Mortgage offers a variety of construction loan programs to meet the needs of many different projects. Whether you’re building a single-family home or multi-unit structure, we have financing options that are right for you.
One-Time Close Construction Loans
One-time close construction loans combine the construction loan and permanent mortgage into one transaction. It’s easier and reduces closing costs since you close only once.
Two-Time Close Construction Loans
Two-time close loan involves two different closings: construction period closing and permanent mortgage closing. This option allows more flexibility regarding rates and loan terms at completion of construction.
Owner-Builder Construction Loans
In the event that you are acting as your own general contractor, then an owner-builder construction loan might just be in your interest. LBC Mortgage works with professional owner-builders to coordinate financing and meet lending requirements.
Construction-to-Permanent Loans
A construction-to-permanent loan allows you to roll your construction loan over to a permanent mortgage when the work is finished. This option provides long-term finance stability and predictable monthly payments.

The Construction Loan Application Process
Getting a construction loan is more than a standard mortgage, but we simplify it.
Prequalification and Planning
We start by reviewing your project plans, budget, and financial history. This helps us determine how much you can borrow and what type of loan is right for you.
Loan Application and Approval
After we have established the correct loan, we guide you through the application process. We gather all of the required documentation, including construction plans, builder contracts, and cost estimates. We work with the lender to get approved promptly and efficiently.
Draw Disbursement and Project Management
The funds are disbursed in phases once approved, depending on the progress of construction. We coordinate with the builder and the lender to allow timely inspections and draw disbursements.
Conversion to Permanent Loan
Once construction is complete, we help you transition to a permanent mortgage or settle the loan. If you choose a construction-to-permanent loan, your payments are converted to the permanent loan terms.
Common Challenges With Construction Loans and How We Help
Construction loans are complex compared to regular mortgages. Delays in construction, cost overruns, and disputes with contractors are some of the issues that could arise. LBC Mortgage makes such issues impossible by interfacing directly with all concerned parties.
Construction Costs Management
Cost overruns are common in construction projects. We help you create a loan with adequate buffer to cover extra spending without disrupting your budget.
Contractor and Builder Approval
Lenders require guarantees that the builder is licensed and qualified. We help you get the right paperwork and ensure that the builder will comply with all lending conditions.
Meeting Construction Milestones
Construction delays have consequences for loan terms and draw disbursements. We work with your builder to remain on schedule and keep funding on track.
