American Lending Conference Recap: Construction Lending and the Sidelines

We’re back from the American Lending Conference (#ALC), where industry professionals gathered to discuss new lending opportunities and challenges. With the ongoing housing shortage, construction lending was a major focus. Dennis Doss, CEO of Doss Law and Doss Docs, led a well-attended panel sharing insights on how lenders can tap into this growing sector.

Construction Lending: Repeat Business Through Relationship Building

Dennis explained how construction loans offer lenders a chance to enter a less crowded market compared to fix-and-flip or DSCR loans. Construction lending allows lenders to build lasting relationships with homebuilders who need ongoing financing.

“These builders aren’t just building one house,” Dennis said. “They’re working on multiple projects year-round. Take care of them, and you’ve got a partner for life.” The message was clear: construction lending offers repeat business and the potential for long-term partnerships.

Bridge Loans Sparked Conversations

Bridge loans were another topic that came up during discussions. Several lenders shared how bridge loans are becoming a flexible, short-term solution for borrowers. These conversations highlighted the increasing demand for bridge loans as a flexible option for lenders.

Growing Interest in Private Debt Funds

Private debt funds also came up in networking conversations. Lenders expressed interest in how these funds could offer more flexibility and help them grow their portfolios. Although not part of the official sessions, private debt funds were clearly on the radar for many.
