TEXAS CONSTRUCTION LOANS

​

Working Together

Over the past 25 years CFS has provided the funds necessary to complete construction. If a vendor or subcontractor provides labor and/or materials and does not obtain payment their primary recourse is to put a lien on the homeowner's property which will prohibit the homeowner from refinancing into their long-term mortgage. For this reason our goal is to ensure the loan funds make it into the hands of those who performed the labor and provided the materials on the subject property.

REIMBURSEMENT

Funds will only be disbursed to the builder or homeowner if we obtain documentation to show the labor and materials have already been paid. For disbursement CFS must receive:

• Materials: Paid Receipts
  
• Labor: Receipts or Signed Lien Waivers and associated Subcontractor Invoices
  
• Administrative Costs: Invoices from the Builder
  

DIRECT

We do not require the builder pay for costs and request reimbursement after-the-fact. CFS can pay the vendors and subcontractors directly! For disbursement CFS must receive:

• Materials: Invoices including Company Name, Business Address, Phone Number, Subject Property's Address, Invoice Number
  
• Labor: Invoices including Company Name or Subcontractor Name, Address, Phone Number, Subject Property's Address
  
• Administrative Costs: Invoices from the Builder
  

DEPOSITS

Upon loan approval and closing the builder may request an up-front deposit not to exceed 5% of the contract price. Any pre-paid deposits provided by the homeowner prior to the loan approval will be applied toward the maximum 5% allowed. No up-front deposits will be provided to subcontractors with exception to cabinetry and counter tops. If a subcontractor requires an up-front deposit the builder or homeowner must take the risk of providing the funds, and upon completion of the work by the subcontractor, may submit the signed Lien Waiver and associated Subcontractor Invoice[s] for reimbursement.

INSPECTIONS

As the lender, CFS is not responsible for code compliance or quality of work. If the home is located outside city limits to where no government agency mandates code-compliance inspections, it is the responsibility of the homeowner to hire an independent licensed real estate inspector to monitor the construction process. Upon receipt of a Draw Request, CFS will send out a 3rd party inspector to verify completion of work in relation to the Draw Request received. Upon receipt of the necessary backup documentation listed above CFS will order the inspection which typically takes 24 hours. Upon receipt of photographs and completion verification CFS will disburse funds within 24 hours. The $100 per inspection fee is automatically added to the payoff for the loan unless otherwise indicated in the Loan Approval Acknowledgments signed upon loan approval.

HOMEOWNER APPROVAL

It is not a CFS policy to require the homeowner to approve of the draw disbursements. It is an independent agreement between the builder and homeowner if the homeowner's signature or email verification is required for each draw request. If CFS receives a request from the homeowner to approve draw requests prior to inspections and disbursements, CFS will honor that request and will provide the homeowner with a list of the items and associated percentage of completion for each budgeted line item.

DELIVERY

Draw Disbursements can be made by wire, FedEx or USPS. The builder must indicate on the Draw Request Form how they would like the funds processed and sent. If by wire, the $30 wire fee is automatically added to the payoff for the loan unless otherwise indicated in the Loan Approval Acknowledgments signed upon loan approval.

​In accordance with Texas Property Code, CFS will supply the homeowner with copies of all receipts, invoices and release of liens for each draw. If the contract between the homeowner and builder is a Fixed-Price contract, the construction budget will not be shared. If the contract is Cost-Plus, the construction budget will be shared.
