Most lenders still rely on old-school inspections that slow you down and cost you extra. Every time you request a draw, they send someone to your property—and charge you for it. At $175 per inspection, that can add up to nearly $2,000 on a single project.
At North Oak, we do it differently. We’ve replaced costly site visits with a simple, app-based video process that gets your funds released faster and keeps more money in your pocket.
How It Works (Step by Step)
- Submit your draw request in the North Oak borrower portal.
- Download the Truepic Vision app to your phone (iOS or Android).
- Open the secure text link we send after your request—it launches the Truepic app for your project.
- Record a quick walkthrough video showing the completed work.
- Upload the video directly to your North Oak borrower portal for review.
- Our Portfolio Manager verifies it and processes your draw quickly.
Note: We’ve moved to video only for virtual inspections. No photo uploads are needed or accepted for draws.
Why It Matters
- Faster funds – No scheduling delays; your video goes straight to review.
- Lower costs – Can save thousands of dollars per project compared to traditional inspections.
- Simple process – Record a video on your phone, upload it, and get paid faster.
