Frequently Asked Questions

What construction draw management features should a private real estate LOS include?
A private real estate LOS should support draw request processing, inspection tracking with photo documentation, budget-to-actual monitoring for rehab and ground-up projects, and automated holdback calculations. The Mortgage Office and LendingWise offer the deepest draw management capabilities. Without proper draw management, private lenders rely on spreadsheets that become error-prone at scale.
How fast should a private real estate lender be able to close?
Competitive private lenders close bridge and fix-and-flip loans in 7 to 14 business days. DSCR rental loans typically close in 14 to 21 days. Ground-up construction may take 21 to 30 days due to additional documentation. Your LOS should accelerate this timeline with automated document generation, configurable approval workflows, and integrated closing processes.
Do private real estate lenders need integrated servicing in their LOS?
Yes, most private real estate lenders service their own loans rather than selling to investors. Integrated origination and servicing from platforms like The Mortgage Office, LendingWise, and Liquid Logics means a funded loan flows into servicing automatically without manual data transfer. Running separate systems creates reconciliation overhead and increases error risk for lenders managing 100 or more loans.
