Construction Lending Policy

Construction Lending. The Company originates real estate loans secured by property or land that is under construction or development. Construction loans originated by the Company are generally secured by mortgage loans for the construction of owner-occupied residential real estate or to finance speculative construction secured by residential real estate, land development, or owner-operated or non-owner-occupied commercial real estate. During construction, these loans typically require monthly interest-only payments and have maturities ranging from six to twelve months. Once construction is completed, permanent construction loans may be converted to monthly payments using amortization schedules of up to 30 years on residential and generally up to 25 years on commercial real estate.

 

While the Company typically utilizes maturity periods ranging from 6 to 12 months to closely monitor the inherent risks associated with construction loans, weather conditions, change orders, availability of materials and/or labor, and other factors may contribute to the lengthening of a project, thus necessitating the need to renew the construction loan at the balloon maturity. Such extensions are typically executed in incremental three month periods to facilitate project completion. The Company’s average term of construction loans is approximately eight months. During construction, loans typically require monthly interest only payments which may allow the Company an opportunity to monitor for early signs of financial difficulty should the borrower fail to make a required monthly payment. Additionally, during the construction phase, the Company typically performs interim inspections which further allow the Company opportunity to assess risk. At March 31, 2020, construction loans outstanding included 73 loans, with drawn balances totaling $33.4 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. At June 30, 2019, construction loans outstanding included 59 loans, with drawn balances totaling $27.2 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. In general, these modifications were solely for the purpose of extending the maturity date due to conditions described above. Under the CARES Act, financial institutions have the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to TDRs for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. Loans with such modifications in effect at March 31, 2020, included drawn balances of $4.7 million in construction loans which were modified at the borrower’s request due to the current situation of heightened economic uncertainty triggered by the pandemic. None of these modifications were executed due to financial difficulty on the part of the borrower and, therefore, were not accounted for as TDRs.
