Many construction projects are financed with a combination of debt (such as a mortgage or bank loan) and equity (such as shares of stock or a private investment). For instance, a property developer might take out a loan to purchase land, make improvements to the land, and then sell ownership shares in the project to raise money to complete the construction. These two financing types are often referred to as “leverage” financing.
