What to Know About Encinitas

Encinitas is a coastal North County city made up of distinct communities, from the beach towns of Leucadia, Cardiff-by-the-Sea and Old Encinitas to the rural, horse-friendly hills of Olivenhain. Homes along the ocean sit on coastal bluffs, and most of the western half of the city is in the coastal zone.

Building near the coast in Leucadia or Cardiff usually means a coastal development permit, and bluff-top lots carry geotechnical requirements and setbacks of their own. Out in Olivenhain the issues change to septic, grading and fire hazard zones on larger rural parcels. We underwrite to approved plans and the completed value, and we plan draws around how long permitting really takes here.

How It Works

We underwrite against your approved plans, a realistic budget and the completed value of the project.

Straight Answers

Construction Loans in Encinitas: Questions

I’m building on acreage in Olivenhain. What should the budget cover?

Septic, grading and fire-zone construction are common on those parcels. Include them up front and we’ll size draws to the real numbers.

Do you lend in Encinitas?

Yes. We’re a California-licensed direct lender headquartered in Glendale, and we underwrite San Diego County deals directly, including Encinitas, rather than routing them through an out-of-state call center.

How do construction draws work?

The loan is released in stages. As each phase of work is completed, it’s inspected, and the next draw is funded. That keeps the money matched to progress on the job.
