Please help me analyze this Construction Financing Deal

Hello all,

I am new to the Construction deals and for some reason this deal does not sit well with me. I am okay with the points and interest payments, However the cash to close is having me scratch my head. I am paying for the Land, soft cost and horizontal costs from my own money so where does the cash to close come from. The LOC should be at 60% of the Vertical Cost and not the total . If I am only borrowing $136,800, why or who is getting the $43,200.

Someone please help me  wrap my head around this. (see below)

Land $16,000 Paid w/ Cash
Horizontal $20,000 Paying w/ Cash
Soft $12,000 Paying w/ Cash
Vertical $180,000
TOTAL COST $228,000
ARV $340,000
Loan Amount
LTC 60% $136,800
ARV 50% $170,000
Loan Amount $136,800
Cash to Close $43,200
Points $2,736 - Pay closing costs and upfront fees at maturity of loan when you sell the property
Total Interest (6 Months) $3,238 - No Interest Reserve and No monthly interest payments; pay Total Interest at maturity of loan when you sell the property.
- Interest on Drawn balance (Interest is paid only on drawn funds)
