Building a Home

A construction loan is a short-term loan that covers only the costs of custom home building. This is different from a mortgage, and it’s considered specialty financing. Once the home is built, the prospective occupant must apply for a mortgage to pay for the completed home. While we don’t finance construction loans, we can help you when it comes time to convert this to a permanent mortgage.

A home construction loan is a short-term, higher-interest loan that provides the funds required to build a residential property.

Construction loans typically are one year in duration. During this time, the property must be built and a certificate of occupancy should be issued.
