Common Questions
Rhode Island Lending FAQ
Do you finance new construction in Rhode Island for a first-time builder?
Yes. A first build in Rhode Island prices at 11.49% with 85% of total project cost financed, capped at 65% of completed value, 650+ credit. After one completed build the loan moves to 90% of cost at 10.49%, and 5+ builds get 75% of completed value at 9.99%.
How much of the project cost will the loan cover in Rhode Island?
85% of total cost (lot plus build plus soft costs) on a first build, 90% after one completed build. The loan is also capped at 65% to 75% of the completed appraised value depending on experience, and the lower cap wins.
What if I already own the lot?
Your equity in the lot counts toward the down payment. On many Rhode Island builds a paid-off lot covers the entire cash requirement except closing costs and the first draw.
What are Rhode Island construction loan rates?
As of September 2026: 11.49% for first build, 10.49% for 1-4 builds, 9.99% for 5+ builds, interest-only, with 2% origination. Interest is charged on drawn funds with most lenders, so early months cost less.
How long is the loan and how fast does it close?
12 to 18 months interest-only, extensions available for a fee. Closing runs 21 to 30 days in Rhode Island once plans, budget and GC package are in, because the appraisal is done on the completed value.
Is Capital Kings a direct construction lender in Rhode Island?
No. Capital Kings LLC is a broker. We match your Rhode Island build with the construction lenders in our network that fit your experience tier and price it on one term sheet.
