Construction loans are used to finance the construction of a new home, or to make substantial improvements to an existing home. Each loan is as unique as the property you're looking to construct.
Highlights of our Construction Loans
- One-Time Closing
- This gives you the ability to lock in your rate at application, and have peace of mind when your home is being built
- We will finance up to 90% of the "As Completed" value which will be determined by an appraisal.
- Typical construction loan will allow up to 12 months for the construction to be complete.
- During this time, you will make interest-only payments based on the amount of funds we have provided.
- At the end of the construction period, the loan will automatically convert into a Conventional Fixed or Adjustable Rate loan.
- Construction Loans are typically set up with 5-8 phases. After each phase is complete, the appraiser will return to the property to confirm the phase is complete, then funds will be disbursed to the borrower/builder.
