What is a Construction loan?
A construction loan pays for land and building a home in stages. Funds are released on a draw schedule as work is inspected, and construction-to-permanent loans convert to a regular mortgage when the build is done.
How it works
- Money is drawn in stages as the builder completes and inspectors verify work.
- Payments during the build are often interest-only on the amount drawn so far.
- Plans, a builder contract, and a budget are reviewed before approval.
Who it's for
- Buyers building a custom home
- Owners who already have land and are ready to build
- Borrowers who want one closing for the build and the mortgage
- Property
- Usually a primary residence or second home
- Documentation
- Full documentation plus plans, a builder contract, and a budget
- Term
- A build period, then a standard mortgage term on construction-to-permanent loans
