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 $150–200K per door before a shovel hits the ground
- What "winning" on the housing crisis actually looks like

For decades, pre-close due diligence for construction loans has worked the same way — 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 — 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 — uncovering hidden liens, undisclosed liabilities, and fraud risks before you fund. And it calibrates every analysis to your exact loan — builder type, project scope, region, and loan program — 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.
