  "Just like with Hollywood celebrity bodies, it's all about back-end for construction lenders," said Mike Guterman, principal and CFO with Los Angeles-based Highland Realty Capital, which secures construction financing for developer clients."They're focusing on what take-out lenders are likely to provide on the back-end, and that's one of the primary guidelines restricting construction loan proceeds."
  
  With permanent lenders adhering to more conservative debt-coverage requirements, the maximum construction proceeds available for any given development are typically down by 5 percent or more, according to Guterman and other multifamily finance pros.
  ...
  "Now they're really focusing on rent-growth assumptions, taking a much more conservative approach," Guterman said.That means developers applying for construction loans and take-out quotes are required to provide more objective and thorough market analyses, he added.
  ...
  Developers were getting used to construction facility structures with little if any personal recourse beyond the standard completion guarantee, Guterman said.But now lenders are looking for repayment guarantees amounting to at least 25 percent of the loan amount, he added.
  
  And entrepreneurial types should expect heavier scrutiny of their credit histories, added Sevier."Lenders are still reviewing credit reports, litigation searches, financials, and resumes, but they have raised the bar in terms of what is acceptable" when it comes to funding a construction facility, he continued.

  Mike Guterman, an SVP with the Los Angeles office of Newport Beach-based Buchanan Capital Advisors, explains that the developer, a Buchanan client, had already financed the project with a traditional floating rate construction loan but wanted to switch to long-term, fixed rate financing for the property upon completion without incurring high forward commitment fees.
  
  Guterman and Kevin McKenzie, also of Buchanan's Los Angeles office, arranged the financing in the form of a loan that was structured with an interest-only feature for the first year as construction is completed and then as the project is leased, the loan converts to a 30-year amortization.
  ...
  The new loan, Guterman explains, achieves the developer's goal of securing permanent financing while interest rates remain near historic lows.
