HOW IT WORKS

What is a single-close construction loan?

A single-close construction loan helps you finance your home from the ground up and pay your home off once it’s been built. This means you only pay closing costs once, which reduces your overall expenses.

During construction, we draw from your loan to pay your contractor for building costs, such as:

  • Land
  • Labor
  • Permits
  • Materials2

Once the building phase is complete, your single-close construction loan converts to a traditional mortgage without duplicate settlement fees.

Construction Loan FAQs

There are criteria every borrower must meet to qualify for a mortgage loan with us. This typically includes two years of employment at your job or in the same line of work, a minimum credit score of 620, and verified funds to close on the transaction. Once these boxes are checked, our experts can help you figure out the rest. Loans are subject to credit review.

Yes. Your land purchase can be rolled into your one-time transaction and covered in your single closing.

Once the Construction Specialist receives a draw request, a draw inspection is ordered and upon receipt, an inspection is completed to verify the work completed by the builder. If satisfactory, a check is paid to the borrower. Draws are used for the building of the home and excludes home décor, furniture, and other home furnishings that cannot be financed in the construction loan.
