What is a home construction loan?
Sometimes the best way to get the house you want is to build it yourself. Home construction loans finance the expense of building a new house so that individuals and home builders can afford the costs associated with construction. After the house is complete the home construction loan can be converted into a permanent mortgage.
Also known as build loans or construction financing, these types of loans are short-term and payments may be interest only, reflecting the expectation that the loan will be refinanced after construction is complete. The total amount of your home building loan is usually paid out in intervals that correspond with each phase of construction. You only pay interest on the amount you’ve borrowed to date.
What are home construction loans used for?
Individual buyers, home building companies, and businesses can use construction loans to build homes or business structures on land they already own. Any building that will be eligible for a mortgage after construction will usually be eligible for a build loan.
