Operational StepMethodology & Timelines
Draw SystemStandard reimbursement-based draws on renovation and construction loans. Interest is charged only on drawn funds - not on the full committed renovation budget - keeping carry costs low during rehab. A clear draw schedule is provided at closing so borrowers can plan contractor payment milestones accordingly.
Inspection MethodNo formal appraisal required before funding. Capital Fund 1 conducts an internal property valuation and orders any required formal appraisal after the loan has already closed and funded. This eliminates the standard 2-4 week appraisal wait that delays most hard money closings. Local teams in AZ, CO, and TX conduct draw reviews.
Funding TurnaroundTypical draw funding: 3 business days. Capital Fund 1 is capable of closing and funding construction deals in as little as 3-5 business days from a complete application. Partially completed construction projects are accepted - ideal for investors taking over stalled builds. Track your draw schedule in FlipperForce's Project Budgeter to manage real-time budget variance.
Speed to FundFund in as little as 24 hours on qualifying deals with complete documentation. Trustee sale and auction purchases funded within 24 hours of auction win - a critical advantage for investors competing at foreclosure auctions. No prepayment penalties across all loan programs. Capital Fund 1 can be refinanced by a long-term loan at any time without penalty.
