Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a construction loan?
How does a construction loan differ from a traditional mortgage?
What are the types of construction loans available?
- CONSTRUCTION-TO-PERMANENT LOANS: THESE COVER THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND THEN CONVERT TO A TRADITIONAL MORTGAGE ONCE THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED.
- STAND-ALONE CONSTRUCTIONLOANS: THESE SOLELY COVER THE CONSTRUCTION PERIOD, AND AFTER COMPLETION, THE BORROWER NEEDS TO SECURE A SEPARATE MORTGAGE.
How do lenders disburse funds in a construction loan?
FUNDS ARE USUALLY DISTRIBUTED IN “DRAWS” OR STAGES AS THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSES. TYPICALLY, AFTER CERTAIN MILESTONES (FOUNDATION POURED, FRAMING COMPLETED, ETC.) AN INSPECTOR VERIFIES THE WORK AND THE LENDER RELEASES THE FUNDS.
What are the requirements for obtaining a construction loan?
REQUIREMENTS VARY BY LENDER, BUT GENERALLY, YOU’LL NEED A GOOD CREDIT SCORE, DETAILED CONSTRUCTION PLANS, A QUALIFIED BUILDER, A DOWN PAYMENT, AND PROOF OF INCOME.
What is the interest rate structure for a construction loan?
INTEREST RATES CAN BE VARIABLE OR FIXED. DURING THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, BORROWERS OFTEN PAY INTEREST ONLY ON THE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN DISBURSED. AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION, THE LOAN MIGHT CONVERT TO A PERMANENT LOAN WITH A FIXED OR VARIABLE RATE.
What is the timeline for a typical construction loan?
THE DURATION OF A CONSTRUCTION LOAN CAN VARY BASED ON THE PROJECT’S SIZE AND SCOPE. GENERALLY, THEY HAVE A TERM OF 12 TO 18 MONTHS, BUT EXTENSIONS MIGHT BE AVAILABLE IF NEEDED.
Can I use a construction loan for a DIY (do-it-yourself) project?
CONSTRUCTION LOANS USUALLY REQUIRE LICENSED PROFESSIONALS. IF YOU PLAN TO ACT AS YOUR OWN CONTRACTOR, MAKE SURE YOUR LENDER ALLOWS OWNER-BUILDER CONSTRUCTION LOANS.
What happens if construction costs exceed the loan amount?
IF THE PROJECT COSTS MORE THAN ANTICIPATED, THE BORROWER MIGHT NEED TO COVER THE ADDITIONAL EXPENSES. SOME LENDERS MIGHT OFFER AN OPTION TO INCREASE THE LOAN AMOUNT, BUT IT’S SUBJECT TO APPROVAL AND ADDITIONAL TERMS.
What happens if the project isn't completed on time?
DELAYS IN CONSTRUCTION CAN OCCUR DUE TO VARIOUS REASONS. DISCUSS YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION WITH US FOR DETAILED INFORMATION.
