Questions about construction loans in Sacramento
How many new homes are being built in Sacramento?

What kinds of construction projects qualify?
Build-ready infill lots, teardowns, and spec homes, including single-family homes with detached ADUs, townhouses, condos, 2–4 unit and 5–20 unit multifamily, and mixed-use. Tract homes and subdivisions of 10 or more homes are not eligible.
How much of the project can be financed?

How are construction loan funds disbursed?
Construction funds are released in draws as work is completed and inspected, so you pay interest only on what has been drawn.
Can I get financing partway through construction?
Yes. Mid-construction options are available for projects that have already started.
What experience do I need?
Eligibility is based on your construction activity over the prior 36 months.
Does B-Line Capital lend directly?
No. B-Line Capital is a private money broker. It compares offers from multiple private lenders, family offices, and commercial capital sources so you can choose the best rate and terms.
What fees are involved?
B-Line Capital's broker fee typically ranges from 0.5 to 2 points depending on deal size and complexity. Fees are disclosed on your closing statement and are not charged until your loan funds.
How long does it take to close in Sacramento?
Timelines depend on the lender, the deal's complexity, and how quickly documents come together. Private financing generally moves faster than a bank loan; ask your B-Line Capital contact for a timeline specific to your Sacramento project.
