Construction Loans: Administering & Monitoring

Construction loans for both residential and commercial real estate (CRE) remain a major part of commercial bank lending, despite some decrease in volume due to current economic conditions. On the residential side, remodeling outpaces new homes in some markets. CRE construction projects have continued to grow for certain property types, such as multi-family and industrial/warehouse. This program provides an overview of the many issues involved in both residential and commercial construction administration, as well as key differences between them. The focus is on the issues behind the various procedures in construction.
