Construction Loan Exit Strategy
Construction lenders need a credible sale, refinance, or portfolio exit supported by timing, value, demand, and conservative assumptions.
The exit is underwritten independently from the construction plan. A completed project can still face refinance or absorption risk.

Questions borrowers ask
Does this guarantee financing?
No. Financing remains subject to lender underwriting, borrower qualifications, sponsor experience, project feasibility, location, budget, permits, collateral, loan purpose, and applicable requirements.
Is this for owner-occupied projects?
No. Capital to Keys is designed for business-purpose, investment construction and development financing—not consumer-purpose residential mortgages.
