Planning to build your new dream home from scratch or renovate an existing home? A construction loan could potentially be your ideal solution!
A construction loan, often used for home construction or renovation, is a type of mortgage loan. The original loan period is short-term during the construction phase. At the end of the construction period, the loan is often converted to another mortgage loan option for longer term, with more permanent mortgage financing. These changes are based on what is best for the borrower. Name your project. We’ll help you get there!
Vacant Lot Loan
The first step to building your dream home is deciding where to build and purchasing your building site -your vacant lot. A vacant lot loan is ideal if you want to secure a building site but aren't ready to start your house construction immediately. With most vacant lots fitting the parameters of our 10% down program, we provide the low down payment and flexibility you’re looking for.
Home Construction Loans
Ready to start building your new home? Get financing to build the home of your dreams. Our 5% down construction loan program allows for more room in your home construction budget. From financing your building site through the home construction phase to the permanent mortgage loan, our mortgage lenders are here to help explain the entire construction loan process.
Renovation Loan
A renovation loan is a type of mortgage loan that provides the flexibility you need to finance home renovation projects. For example, when you want to remodel your current home or renovate a home you are purchasing and are set up with the right type of renovation mortgage loan, your dream home is within reach!
