Borrower Outcomes

Numbers from the field,
not the brochure.

"
I had three spec homes under contract and needed draws wired within 72 hours of inspection. Groundbreak hit every single one. My previous lender averaged 19 days. That's the difference between making payroll and explaining to your framing crew why they need to wait.
