What is a new construction loan?

A new construction loan is short-term financing for building a property from the ground up. It typically covers land acquisition, vertical construction, and an interest reserve on a single loan, with construction funds disbursed via draws as the build progresses through inspection milestones. Once construction is complete, the loan is paid off through a sale of the finished property or refinanced into long-term financing.

Colorado market

Why Colorado works for investor lending.

Colorado is a sustained-growth investor state. Front Range tech + defense employment (Denver, Colorado Springs, Boulder) anchors long-term rental demand. Population inflow keeps market depth strong. Mountain STR corridors add flexibility for investors who want STR + LTR mixed strategies.

Sustained tech + defense employment

Denver and Colorado Springs anchor deep tech, aerospace, and defense employer bases (Lockheed Martin, Ball Aerospace, USSF, Northrop Grumman) that support rental demand across the Front Range.

Population inflow

Colorado continues to attract in-migration from higher-cost coastal metros. Rental demand along the Front Range stays deep across every metro.

Mountain STR corridor

Colorado ski and mountain markets host active short-term rental corridors where local zoning permits. Our DSCR program supports STR income scenarios.
