In the end, it is up to how the investor themselves classify the lender.HML is thought of being more "institutional money". 

Are there any institutions or other loan products that offer 3.5% down (potentially can go up to 10% depending on the total construction costs) AND takes into account the rental income?

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

They also want a priority lien on the property.It sounds like you are looking for someone to fund your down payment, I would be looking for an equity partner over debt as nobody likes to lend money in insecure positions, especially when a borrower lacks skin in the game.How much are you planning to come in with yourself?

If so, why would the lender not lend if given title insurance.3.

Also where there are changes in regulations that may require lenders to change servicing agreements which affect who services your loan.I know that's a pain but as things change -- unfortunately, investors will be impacted by changes in the lending industry - and that includes LOAN SERVICING CHANGES.It’s a total cluster between the banks, their loan servicers and their loan servicer’s sub-servicers.

Through your local bank that you are using, are you reapplying for each new home for a seperate construction loan or are you setup as a credit line with them and just submit a new budget for each new home I do want to also add that my banker who is the VP of lending and branch manager has been banking me for 30 years..WE have been through all he ups and downs including the GFC were I got almost totally wiped out financially..

I’m reading Lend to Live right now actually.

High rates are here for at least the medium-term (1-2 years), so deals will have to pencil in this current environment.You may also want to consider hard money for your lending, as they can often fund your construction with far fewer restrictions than a HomeStyle loan.

Think of this as asset lending.
