Hi everyone,

I’m working on a ground-up construction deal in Texas and getting close to the finish line. I already have a primary loan secured for the land and build, but I’m exploring options to bridge a small funding gap between loan proceeds and total project cost.

Curious to hear from others:

• Have you used a second-position lender or alternative structure to cover that gap?

• Any creative or experience-based tips for structuring something clean and simple?

• What worked (or didn’t) when you had to cover a shortfall to get a project moving?

Appreciate any insights or experiences—feel free to DM if this is a conversation better had offline.

Thanks in advance!

Hey BP Community,

Out of curiosity—has anyone ever worked with (or heard of) a private money lender who can fund a land-only purchase and close in 5 days or less?

I’m exploring strategies for fast-close land deals where construction is handled separately, and I’m wondering if lenders like this actually exist—or if it’s more of a unicorn situation.

Would love to hear any experiences (good or bad) with this type of lender, or if you think it’s realistic to make this kind of timeline work.

Thanks!
