High-LTC Construction Financing
What borrowers should understand when seeking higher loan-to-cost leverage for a business-purpose construction project.
Higher LTC can increase execution sensitivity. Lenders may respond with pricing, additional collateral, stronger reserves, lower advance rates on selected costs, or stricter controls.

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.
What should I do next?
