What is a Construction Loan?
A construction loan is a short-term loan that covers the costs of building a new home. Unlike traditional mortgages, funds are disbursed in stages as construction progresses, typically over a year. Once your home is completed, the loan can be converted into a permanent mortgage or paid off.
Steps to Getting a Construction Loan
1. Planning and Preparation
Before applying, you'll need:
Building Plans: Detailed blueprints and plans for your new home.
Cost Estimates: An itemized list of expected costs.
Builder Information: Details about your builder’s experience and licensing.
2. Prequalification
We review your financial situation to determine how much you can borrow, considering your:
Income Verification: Pay stubs, tax returns.
Credit Score: Credit history review.
Assets and Liabilities: List of assets and debts.
3. Applying for the Loan
Submit a detailed loan application with all necessary documentation, including building plans and cost estimates.
4. Appraisal and Underwriting
We conduct an appraisal and thorough review of your plans to ensure all requirements are met.
5. Loan Approval and Closing
Receive a commitment letter with loan terms and conditions, sign final documents, and access funds to start construction.
6. Construction Phase
Funds are released in stages based on completed work, with inspections ensuring quality and plan adherence.
7. Converting to a Mortgage
Once construction is complete, convert the construction loan into a permanent mortgage.
