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.

Washington market

Why Washington works for investor lending.

Washington pairs no-state-income-tax advantage with Seattle-metro tech premium rentals (Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing). Tacoma + JBLM add military stability. Spokane and Vancouver round out the state with secondary market opportunities.

No state income tax on wages

Washington has no state income tax on wages — a meaningful yield boost for investment property owners over the hold period.

Seattle-metro tech anchors

Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, plus a deep enterprise software ecosystem (Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland) anchor premium rental demand across the Seattle metro.

JBLM + defense

Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) is one of the largest military bases on the West Coast. Anchor military rental demand across Tacoma and Pierce County.
