Draw & Construction Process

Central Lending handles processing, closing, and construction draws entirely in house, which is where its speed comes from. On investor rehab loans, draws are funded in five business days; on ground-up construction loans, draws are funded in three to four business days. Because the same team underwrites, closes, and manages draws, there is no handoff to a third-party servicer.

Central Lending does not publish whether draw inspections are physical or virtual, so that is worth confirming for a given project. On closing, the company says it can close in as little as five business days, usually without an appraisal, with bridge loans closing in as little as three days and some loans, closing in as little as 48 hours. For rehab and construction investors who need predictable draw timing, the published three to five business day draw windows are the key numbers to plan around.
