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.

  • 1APR= Annual Percentage Rate. Example: 1A 30 year mortgage at 360 payments for the permanent phase with an annual percentage rate of 7.000% (interest rate of 7.000%). The construction phase would then have an interest only rate of 8.500%, which is equal to a margin of 1.5% over the permanent interest rate of 7.000%. The APR would be 8.500%. Subject to credit approval. Rate may vary based on loan term.
