The appraised as-completed value is $2,570,000 with a loan to value ratio (LTV) of 65.0%.  Consistent with Broadmark Realty’s lending practices, the entire loan amount is not released at closing.  Funds are disbursed as construction draws as the project progresses.  We believe Broadmark Realty’s draw process is detailed and includes third party inspections and lien releases through each stage of construction before additional funds are disbursed.
