Ground-up construction financing in Florida covers single-family and 2–4 unit builds, from the lot to the final line item, sized on cost and capped on as-complete value. Program terms do not change by state; permits, closing costs and the lien process do. Here is what applies in Florida.
Silt's terms do not change at the state line. The term sheet reflects the property, the file and the supported value.
By Census Bureau population estimates. Silt lends statewide — these markets are not a limit. Metro areas may cross state lines. [6]
Yes. Florida is one of the states Silt lends in, and the ground-up program covers single-family and 2–4 unit residential construction — infill, multi-lot, spec, custom and luxury.
Florida is listed as a judicial-foreclosure jurisdiction: the lender files in court and a judgment precedes the sale. Court calendars, not the deed of trust, set the pace, so distressed-asset timelines in Florida run longer than in power-of-sale states.
No. The program terms are the same in every state Silt lends in: loan amounts $200K – $10M; residential scope 1–4 units · nationwide; leverage 90% LTC · 70% ARV; structure Interest-only, 12–24 mo; draws Funded in 48h, app-based; projects Infill & multi-lot. The final term sheet reflects the property and the file.
Every Silt loan closes in an LLC or corporation, never a personal name. Bring the articles or certificate of formation, operating agreement and EIN letter.
Documentary stamp tax on the deed is $0.70 per $100; in Miami-Dade it is $0.60 per $100 plus a surtax on transfers other than a single-family residence.
A licensed GC, contractor license and insurance, an executed GC agreement and an itemized budget. Plans, permits and the construction schedule should describe the same scope so underwriting and the draw plan stay aligned.
