I'll tell you what I think my bank would do, elcinoca. I think we would have the documentation that showed the construction loan was made in good faith (copy of takeout from XYZ, or even ourselves). Document the 'change in circumstances' and likely make the loan. Yes, it would be a non-QM and carry risk and it would not meet ATR requirements, but I just cannot see jumping to foreclosure as a solution to cure a 'violation'.
That, to me, just sounds wrong.
