This construction loan-in-process course focuses on construction lending, primarily from a bank’s point of view. It is the third and final course in the three-part series and should be taken after Construction Finance Fundamentals and Structuring a Construction Loan. This course discusses the payment cycle, how holdback or retainage clauses are applied, and various legal tools related to construction payments. Later in the course, we will discuss the loan monitor’s role, change order and contingencies, what to do when the project fails, and briefly describe title insurance.

Horrible Test Design

Example of what this course was... Presentation Document: today we will learn about - cats, dogs, and fish Exam Question: what are we learning today? My answer: cats, dogs, and fish CFIs answer: WRONG. The correct answer is cats and dogs even though we put fish in our pdf document. 0 points, no partial credit for getting 2/3 correct, this is all wrong. So beat. Thankful to be done with this one
