Who it's for

  • Buyers building a home with a builder
  • People who own a lot and are ready to build

  • Households who want one guide through a longer process

Key benefits

From plans to keys

I'll explain draws, inspections and when you start paying like a regular mortgage.

One conversation for a long project

Construction has more moving parts than a resale. You get updates, not radio silence.

Builder and budget check

We'll look at the contract and budget so the loan matches the job.

Typical requirements

  • A builder, plans and a construction budget the program can support
  • Credit, income and down payment that meet construction guidelines
  • Land ownership or a contract that includes the lot, depending on the structure
  • Contingency in the budget for overruns
  • Exact terms vary. Let's review your situation.

Questions about New Construction Loans

Do I pay a mortgage while it's being built?

Usually you pay on the funds that have been drawn, which can change as the build progresses. I'll walk through a sample timeline.

Can I use my own builder?

Often yes, if the builder meets the lender's requirements. Send me their info and we'll check.

How is this different from buying a finished new home?

A finished spec home can close more like a purchase. Ground-up construction uses draws and inspections along the way.
