Together with our affiliates, we aim to be the trusted partner for all your multifamily lending needs, nationwide.

Draw & Construction Process

Sterling Capital Funding does not publish a construction or renovation draw process, and its lending is oriented toward commercial and multifamily bridge financing rather than fix and flip rehab. Its programs (small-balance bridge, large bridge, and commercial) are non-recourse loans starting at $1 million, underwritten to an agency takeout, so capital is structured around stabilization and refinance rather than staged rehab draws. There is no draw request method, inspection type, or per-draw turnaround published on its site. On closing, Sterling references closing in as little as 30 days on single-family and small multifamily deals. For investors who need draw-funded rehab or construction financing, Sterling is a fit for larger commercial and multifamily bridge deals rather than a phased fix and flip draw program. Anyone needing rehab construction draws should confirm the structure directly with Sterling before closing.
