What is a Construction Loan?
A short-term loan is used to finance the cost of building a home. Either the builder or home buyer takes out a construction loan to cover the costs of buying the land and constructing the home. Upon completion, the home refinances into a permanent mortgage. Here at Major Mortgage, we have two options, a one-time close loan or two-time close financing. The OTC (One Time Close) loan gives the home buyer the ability to finance the land, and construction in a term of 6 months or less, and then that loan is converted to permanent financing. The two-time close financing is exactly as it sounds. The loan closing will finance the purchase of the land and construction in a term of 12 months or less. At the completion of construction, we refinance the construction loan to permanent financing. Both loans are underwritten and approved prior to the close of the construction loan.
Construction Loan Key Takeaways:
- Minimum down payment as low as 0 to 5% (varies per loan type)
- No mortgage insurance during the construction phase
