Building From the Ground Up Takes the Right Financing Partner
You have the lot, the plans and the budget. What you need is a lender who can fund the build in stages and keep up as the project moves from foundation to finish.
Traditional construction lending can be slow, rigid and built around owner-occupied homes. Investors building to sell or rent need financing that fits an investment project, with a draw process that keeps the job moving.
A Construction Lender That Understands the Build
Every build has its own budget and timeline.
A spec home, a build-to-rent property and an infill project all come with different costs, schedules and exit strategies. We take the time to understand your project before we talk financing.
When you bring Seek First Capital a construction project, we look at:
- Property: lot, location and plans
- Plan: construction budget, builder and timeline
- Exit: sell on completion, rent or refinance
Not every project will fit. When one doesn't, we'll tell you clearly so you can keep moving.

Your Financing Should Help Move the Deal Forward
Uncertainty is expensive. When you can't get answers from your lender, you can't give answers to your seller, your contractor or your title company.
Responsiveness
You should know where your transaction stands without chasing anyone down.
Communication
We tell you what information we need and what happens next.
Real Estate Understanding
We look at the property, your strategy and the deal as a whole, not just a checklist.
Problem Solving
Issues come up in real estate. When they do, we work toward a solution instead of adding friction.
What Is a New Construction Loan?
A new construction loan is short-term financing used to build a property from the ground up. Rather than funding the full amount at closing, construction loans typically release funds in draws as each phase of the build is completed and verified.
Underwriting focuses on the project itself: the lot, the plans, the construction budget, the builder, the timeline and the expected value at completion. Once the build is finished, investors typically sell the property or refinance into long-term financing.
Seek First Capital helps Wichita investors and builders evaluate whether construction financing fits their project and what it takes to move forward.

When a Deal Almost Fell Apart
Our borrowers say it better than we can. These are real Google reviews from Wichita-area investors we've worked with.
“I had a deal that was on the brink of falling apart after my original lender fell through at the last minute… From the moment they stepped in, they were responsive, solution-oriented, and moved with urgency. They took the time to understand the deal, communicated clearly every step of the way, and executed when it mattered most… They truly stepped up when it counted most.”
“Tracy and the team at Seek First Capital are responsive, flexible and focused on client success. We’ve done four deals with them and I expect to do more. I love that we’re dealing directly with decision makers.”
“Worked with Tracy for funding on a flip. Couldn’t have been quicker or easier. Working now with Micah on a DSCR refinance. He has kept the same level of service as Tracy has.”
“Tracy DeWitt at Seek First Capital took a chance on me when many lenders probably wouldn’t have… Over the last two years I’ve used Seek First Capital to fund several houses, and they’ve always been fair, straightforward, and fast when it comes to funding.”

New Construction Loans for Wichita Real Estate Investors
Seek First Capital is a Wichita, Kansas private lender providing financing for qualified investment construction projects in Wichita and across Sedgwick County.
New construction gives investors control over the product they bring to market, whether that's a spec home built to sell or a rental built to hold. But construction projects come with unique financing needs: staged funding, budget oversight and timelines that don't fit a standard mortgage.
Our underwriting looks at the full project: the lot, plans, budget, builder, schedule and the expected value when the build is complete. Funds are typically released in draws as work progresses, keeping the project moving.
Working with a local lender has practical benefits. A Wichita-based team understands area values and neighborhoods, is easy to reach during the build, and reviews every project personally.
If your project fits our lending criteria, we explain the options and what's needed to move forward. If it doesn't, we'll tell you that too.
