Is the US housing shortage a market failure or a policy choice?

๐ŸŽ™๏ธOn The Construction Lending Podcast, Dr. Jenny Schuetz (Arnold Ventures) breaks down how local policies, outdated zoning, and decade-long approval timelines choke supply and spike carrying costs for lenders.

Key highlights:
- Why discretionary reviews and multi-year timelines derail viable deals.
- How shifting to ministerial approvals de-risks construction projects.
- Why legalizing townhomes nationwide unlocks scalable entry-level supply.
- How legislative packages in FL, TX, CA, and MT are opening up pipeline inventory.

๐Ÿ“… Live Webinar โ€” August 20th, 1:00 PM ET

Join Land Gorilla and The Mortgage Collaborative for a TMC Partner Webinar, The Construction Due Diligence Blind Spot: Rethinking Pre-Closing Reviews.

The budget is checked. The contract is read. The builder is verified. So why do losses still surprise experienced lenders? Because construction risk rarely lives in any single document. It lives in the relationships between them.

This webinar will cover where that risk hides and a framework you can run against your own pre-closing process.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธAIA standardized agreements are older than the Federal Reserve.

Our guest on The Construction Lending Podcast is Luke Diorio, SVP of Partnerships and Strategy at AIA Contract Documents. He explains where these documents and forms come from and what they do and don't cover. Plus the gap lenders know well: the construction agreement doesn't know the loan exists.

That's the shift 1st Security Bank made when they moved construction loan management onto Land Gorilla โ€” scaling to 31 branches without scaling their headcount or their headaches.

On the latest episode of The Construction Lending Podcast, we sat down with Assemblymember Buffy Wicks, one of California's most active housing reformers, to talk about what's actually changing in Sacramento and what it means for your pipeline.

We covered:
- Why California's regulatory environment is finally shifting (with data to prove it)
- Why an unpredictable permitting timeline is riskier than a slow one
- A proposed state financial backstop for modular construction deals
- Why impact fees cost $150โ€“200K per door before a shovel hits the ground
- What "winning" on the housing crisis actually looks like

06/16/2026

For decades, pre-close due diligence for construction loans has worked the same way โ€” manual document reviews, standard background checks, and hope that nothing slips through the cracks.

Something inevitably does.

20+ hidden liens declared as zero. A $67,000 budget contradiction invisible unless two documents are read together. A workers' comp fraud hiding in plain sight. A filing deadline that nearly cost a lender their statutory lien priority.

None of it is easily captured by any existing tool โ€” until now.

X-RAY by Land Gorilla does what neither manual review nor any existing due diligence tool can. It reads every document in your loan file simultaneously, cross-referencing contracts, budgets, plans, and appraisals to surface contradictions that only appear when everything is analyzed at once. It goes deeper on every builder than any standard background check โ€” uncovering hidden liens, undisclosed liabilities, and fraud risks before you fund. And it calibrates every analysis to your exact loan โ€” builder type, project scope, region, and loan program โ€” so every flag is relevant and nothing real gets missed.

This is what pre-close due diligence for construction lenders has always needed to be.

AI-powered. Human-verified. Delivered in as little as one business day.
