New Construction Loans

New construction loans are special, short-term loans that allow you to pay builders throughout the construction of your new home. Once construction is complete, you refinance the total sum of the new construction loan using a regular mortgage. As a result, you’ll have one monthly payment for your newly built home. The main benefits of new construction loans include:

  • Built-in equity when refinancing your construction loan to final terms
  • The line of credit you receive to pay for the home as it is built
  • Only getting charged interest on the amount you have borrowed

Tips when building a home 

  • Don’t take on more debt or loans without talking to your loan officer first because this can disqualify you from being able to close your home loan.
  • Don’t change jobs or careers while in the home loan process, unless you’re relocating to a new job with guaranteed employment.
  • Get documents to your loan officer in a timely manner because the loan process cannot move forward until we receive the required documents.
  • Don’t spend your down payment.
  • Make sure you’re able to document any large deposits to your accounts if other than payroll (gift money, tax returns, large cash deposits, etc.).
  • Ask questions, that’s what we’re here for!
