What is a Construction Loan?

A construction loan is short-term financing used to fund the building of a new home. Instead of receiving all funds at once, the loan is distributed in draw phases as construction milestones are completed. Once the home is finished, the loan typically converts into a long-term mortgage.

How do Construction Loans work?

  • Based on Borrower Qualifications and Builder Documentation.

    Loan approval is based on borrower qualifications and builder documentation.

  • Construction Funds Stages (Draws)

    Funds are released in stages (draws) as construction progresses

  • Interest Paid on Disbursed Amounts

    Interest is typically paid only on the amount disbursed.

  • (Construction-To-Permenant)

    After completion, the loan converts to a permanent mortgage (construction-to-permanent option).
