Total closing costs: 5,000
Closing costs to be financed: 0
Down payment and other funds from borrower 10,000
Deposit: 0
Funds for borrower: -200,000
Seller credits: 0
Adjustments and other credits: 200,000
Estimated Cash to Close: 15,000

Or does it get factor into the funds from borrower and funds for borrower only?

Total closing costs: 5,000
Closing costs to be financed: 0
Down payment and other funds from borrower 10,000
Deposit: 0
Funds for borrower: 0
Seller credits: 0
Adjustments and other credits: 0
Estimated Cash to Close: 15,000

I will also point out that construction costs will be paid using future draws not put into a separate construction holdback account.

Dan Persfull did a VERY detailed explanation and examples of the different scenarios surrounding disclosure of construction loans.

If I can find it I'll come back and link it, but in the meantime, you may want to consider searching for it yourself!

Does anyone have any example cash to close tables they can provide for construction loans that involve the purchase of the lot? Thanks in advance.

What does your summaries of transactions look like? That populates the cash to close table and does your origination system not do it automatically? We don't know enough about the transaction to tell you what is correct and what is not.

Like I indicated above - without knowing what the Summaries of Transactions looks like, there is no way to tell if the cash to close table is correct.

I just realized they wanted the example broken down in to the table. I really don't have time to do that for that specific example...I will lay out what my example would show in Summaries:

K01 $17,500
K03 $2,416.50
K04 $84,250 [remainder available to draw]

L02 $100,000

Calculation
$104, 166.50
- 100,000.00

$1,666.50 Cash from

Where is your total construction costs and why would "an available to draw" be in the Summaries of Transactions?

This one did not have a contract. Probably not the best of examples for that reason, but it's the best one sitting in front of me at the moment.

You would still need estimated total construction costs so that the borrower was fully informed of their obligations - POC or not.

We have access to two softwares and they both show it differently. Trying to get an idea of which is correct.
