Frequently Asked Questions

Land development loans typically have shorter terms than traditional mortgages, often ranging from 1 to 5 years. This is because they are intended to finance the development phase of a project, after which the borrower will typically seek permanent financing or sell the developed land.

Loan funds can be used to cover a variety of expenses, including land acquisition, permitting fees, site preparation costs, infrastructure installation (roads, utilities, drainage), and construction costs. The specific uses of the funds will be outlined in the loan agreement.

The interest rate on a land development loan is typically determined by a combination of factors, including the borrower's creditworthiness, the project's risk profile, and prevailing market conditions. CMRE offers competitive rates starting at 8.5%.
