Commercial Lending will be conducting progress inspections on your property. These inspections are mandatory, and are checking for the timeliness of the work being done on the home. Progress inspections will occur every 3 to 5 weeks. You must put a lock box on the home with a code we will provide you. You need not attend the regular inspection, but you may want to be present for a draw inspection.

Repair Escrows:

Funds for rehab and repair are withheld from the loan proceeds at closing of the purchase and funded upon completion of repairs (draws are available for larger projects) and satisfactory inspection by our inspector. Repairs must be completed in accordance with the agreed scope of work before inspection and funding. There will be no funds advanced for repairs prior to completion of work.
