Planning a Tear-Down and Rebuild?
Yes. Unlike many renovation loan programs, the Interim Construction Loan permits tear-down and rebuild projects.
Many permanent renovation products limit how far you can go — especially when the existing structure must come down. The Luminate Bank Interim Renovation Loan matrix explicitly allows tear-down and rebuild, alongside structural repairs, foundation work, and other major scopes.
Because the product is a short-term interim construction loan, it fits projects that need full rebuild timelines, frequent draws (up to two per month), and a clear exit into permanent financing or sale once the new home is complete.
Ryan and Steve help you line up permits, GC selection, draw schedule, and permanent take-out qualification so a tear-down/rebuild does not stall between demolition and certificate of occupancy.
Same interim mechanics as other major rehabs — with more emphasis on permits, inspections, and construction timeline.
