Contractors Get A Construction Loan Today!
The construction industry has had a surge in business, and forecasts predict it to continue for the immediate future. That has prompted small and large contractors across Colorado to seek out a construction loan to fund various projects.
The bad news for contractors is that traditional lenders have intentionally opted out of many lucrative deals with all of the complexities in today’s market. In the process, they have made it nearly impossible to obtain construction loans, especially for contractors with less than perfect credit. The worst part is, banks will often put borrowers through unreasonable hoops and complex qualification processes only to turn down the loan after months of deliberation, leaving contractors high and dry.
