What is a One-Time Close Construction Loan?
Construction loans are temporary loans designed to finance the financial costs of building your own home. They are a separate program than a traditional mortgage. The Construction loan is to cover the specific building costs like materials, labor, land, onsite utilities etc. then you would also need a home loan, like a Conventional loan or an FHA loan to finance the home. In order to get approved for both of these loans, you would generally have to fill out two different applications and pay closings costs on the two separate loans.
A One-Time Close Construction loan combines a traditional construction loan and a mortgage into one loan. This means that you only have to apply once to be approved and only have to pay one set of closing costs.
The best part? One closing! Which means one interest rate (with the option to modify down if the market improves), one down payment, one full credit report to order and one approval.
