Frequently Asked Questions
What is a spec home construction loan?+
A spec home loan finances the construction of a home built speculatively — without a buyer committed before construction starts. The builder plans to sell the completed home on the open market.
Can I finance multiple spec homes at once?+
Yes, many of our lender partners allow multiple concurrent spec builds, especially for experienced builders with a track record of successful projects.
What credit score do I need for spec home financing?+
Most lenders require a minimum 680 credit score, though requirements can vary based on experience, liquidity, and project strength.
How is the loan amount determined?+
Loan amounts are based on a combination of construction costs (LTC) and the estimated after-repair/completion value (ARV/LTV), typically up to 75% LTV and 85-90% LTC.

After Construction: Long-Term Rental Financing
Most spec builds are sold at completion, but some investors elect to keep a finished home as a rental instead.
Investors holding completed properties as rentals commonly refinance the construction loan into a DSCR loan once the property is leased and producing income. DSCR financing qualifies on the property's rental cash flow rather than personal income, which is why it's a common takeout for stabilized rentals.
