Why Work with Us?
Direct Lender
Since we are not brokers and loans are funded ‘in-house,’ decisions are made quickly and efficiently with limited documentation.
Pre-Construction Advance
Orchard Funding will advance up to 1/3 of the construction budget prior to any work being done. Our program doesn’t work off of reimbursements. Unlike other lenders, construction can be entirely funded without coming out of pocket.
Quick Draw Process
Some lenders may take 2 to 3 weeks to reimburse completed construction work, however, Orchard Funding will release construction draws within 3-4 business days upon request thus preventing constructions delays.
No Hidden or Junk Fees
Orchard Funding does not charge any junk fees, typically referred to as Doc Fee, Processing Fee, Underwriting Fee or Fund Control Fee.
Lower Overall Cost
Orchard Funding saves the borrower money because interest is only charged on advanced funds, not on unreleased construction funds. We don’t have a prepayment penalty and only require 60 days of interest with our ‘no points’ loan program. We also do not charge any junk fees and our quick draw process on construction funds saves the borrower time and in turn, overall cost.
Fast Funding
Orchard Funding is able to close within 7-10 business days with a pre-closing appraisal. Certain loans qualify for a post-closing appraisal or even no appraisal at all, allowing for a 2-3 business day closing. Appraisals are not required in the Phoenix Metro area, enabling funding in as little as 24 hours, including Trustee’s Sale purchases.

Underwriting
The loan is ready to enter final underwriting when the appraisal is in, property insurance has been verified and the title commitment is ready. Final underwriting takes less than a day.
