What is the draw request process for OfferMarket Capital construction loans?


In order to ensure a smooth experience with OfferMarket Capital's construction loan product, please review this overview of best practices for draw processing.


Creating Draw Schedule Budgets (Scope Of Work, "SOW")


  • Make sure all line items total correctly – math errors cause underwriting delays!
  • All draw schedules/budgets need to be included as an exhibit in appraisals
  • Be detailed and specific in line items to avoid confusion or underfunding during inspections. For example: if there is a wall that will not be drywalled because it will be wood or stone, note that in the drywall section so the inspector does not shortchange the drywall budget.

Change Orders: Modifying Draw Schedules


Occasionally, there is need to modify a draw schedule after underwriting approval/closing and before the first draw (borrower had no access to property before closing and had to estimate line items, etc).


  • the total construction reserve amount cannot change from the amount of the original budget approved by underwriting
  • line items can change slightly
  • No front-loading (significant shift of more funds to the beginning phases of the project)
  • No decrease in bathroom or kitchen budgets (this can negatively affect the potential ARV)
  • No changing of draw schedules after the first draw

Ordering Draw Inspections


  • provide draw schedule with a column clearly stating percent complete next to each item being inspected
  • inspectors WILL inspect items that are NOT 100% complete
  • we do not reimburse for any materials not on site (even with paid receipts)
  • we reimburse 50% of line item for materials on site, 100% once they are completely installed
