Frequently Asked Questions

If financing is needed, we suggest a Vacant Land Loan to first get the property in your name. Following this time period you may apply for a Construction to Permanent loan.

  • Yes. Upon completion we will ensure that your loan is then converted to a 15 or 30-year mortgage.

  • The term for the construction phase is up to 1 year.

  • 1APR= Annual Percentage Rate. Example: 1A 30 year mortgage at 360 payments for the permanent phase with an annual percentage rate of 6.500% (interest rate of 6.500%). The construction phase would then have an interest only rate of 8.000%, which is equal to a margin of 1.5% over the permanent interest rate of 6.500%. The APR would be 8.000%. Subject to credit approval. Rate may vary based on loan term.

    SAFE Act Information
    On July 28, 2010 the Nation Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and other Federal Agencies published a final rule to implement the federal registration requirements of the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (S.A.F.E. Act). The registration requirements apply to all employees acting in the capacity of a Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO). The S.A.F.E. Act requires all MLOs to register with the Nationwide Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS). Upon completing this registration, each MLO is provided with a Unique Identifier number from the NMLS. An MLO must provide this Unique Identifier number to each mortgage loan applicant upon request and prior to the employee acting as an MLO.
