1-Year Draw Note
12-month construction phase requires interest-only payments on balance owed from advances used to complete construction. At the end of construction, permanent financing for a 15 or 30-year fixed rate or adjustable-rate mortgage will be arranged based upon your specific scenario and structure of your request.
*APR means Annual Percentage Rate. The information provided assumes the purpose of the loan is to build a property, with a loan amount of $300,000, 80% loan-to-value, and a purchase price of $375,000.
Rates subject to change without notice. Your rate will be determined by your specific situation.
Once you have an idea of your budget, the next step is to save for a down payment. Construction loans require a 10% down payment.
In preparation for your pre-approval, review your debt-to-income (DTI) ratio. Your DTI is the sum of all of your debt payments divided by your gross monthly income. An ideal DTI is less than 36%.
Check your credit score. Better credit reports and higher scores make it easier and cheaper to borrow.
To get started, schedule a meeting with your builder to discuss your vision and plan a build within your estimated budget.
Please gather the plans and specifications from your builder along with the construction agreement that specifies the cost of your house - including options and upgrades.
You will also need 30 days of pay stubs and two years of tax returns and W-2s.
Lock in your rate now with a One-Step Construction Loan and we will automatically convert your loan to traditional financing at the end of your 12-month build.
If you choose a Traditional Construction Loan, near completion we will work with you to finalize your traditional mortgage at the current market rate.
It's not uncommon to want to make changes or upgrades to your original plans once you have started construction. However, you generally must pay costs associated with any changes or upgrades during the construction.
Thorough planning, a good checklist, and detailed plans and specifications will help keep your project in line. We are here to help you navigate through these situations as they arise.
The minimum down payment is 10%. You may also use the equity in your lot towards your down payment.
The minimum payments are interest only during the construction phase. The interest is calculated based on the amount you have drawn on your loan.
