Land Purchase Financing 101

What are Land Purchase Loans?

Land purchase loans are specialized financing solutions designed for investors and developers looking to acquire land for various purposes. These loans focus on the potential value and development opportunities of raw land, entitled land, or shovel-ready parcels.

Unlike traditional real estate loans, land loans require specialized underwriting that considers factors such as zoning, entitlements, and development potential. Our land financing programs are structured to accommodate various stages of land development, from raw land to fully entitled parcels.

How do Land Purchase Loans Work?

Land purchase loans are secured by the land itself and typically require a larger down payment than improved property loans due to the specialized nature of the collateral. The loan amount is determined by factors including the land's current value, development status, and intended use.

For entitled and shovel-ready parcels, we can offer more favorable terms due to the reduced risk and clear path to development. Each application is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as location, zoning, utilities, access, and development plans.

Minimum Requirements to Qualify

Our land purchase financing programs are designed for serious investors and developers with clear plans for their land acquisition. While we evaluate each situation individually, these are our general requirements:

- Clear title and ownership structure

- Development plans or exit strategy

- Experience with similar projects

- Quality location and market potential

Understanding Land Purchase Requirements

Success in fix and flip projects requires more than just meeting minimum qualifications. We evaluate each application based on

Property Requirements

The land should have clear title and be free of major environmental issues. We evaluate factors such as location, access to utilities, zoning, and development potential. Entitled or shovel-ready parcels typically qualify for better terms, but we consider land at various development stages.

Financial Requirements

Borrowers should demonstrate strong financial capacity with liquid assets for the down payment and development costs. We typically require detailed financial statements, tax returns, and proof of funds for the project. The specific LTV ratio (35-50%) will depend on the land's development status and overall project strength.

Experience Requirements

While not always mandatory, experience with similar land developments is highly valued. We look for borrowers who understand land development processes, timelines, and challenges. Partnership with experienced developers or contractors can strengthen an application.

If you meet these minimum requirements, you will then need to meet a plethora of additional financing and industry-based requirements that will be based on the size of the loan along with the intended use of the loan.
