Real estate lending is often the most difficult type of lending to do correctly.

This seminar walks through underwriting and structure of construction financing, investment real estate, owner occupied real estate, multifamily, residential development, as well as specialty use.

Learning Objectives:

  • Introduction to various real estate types and the risk they carry.

  • Understanding the financial information that borrowers provide as well as the various documents that you are required to have to completely review the project.
