A construction completion loan is used during the construction process and is repaid once the project is finished. After that, the borrower will have to pay off their regular mortgage, often known as the end loan.
How do construction loans work?
You will not receive all of the funds in one single amount after being authorized for a building loan. Instead, the lender will pay your builder in a series of draws or installments when the various stages of building are completed. Construction loans function as a line of credit in this way.
How much do I need to put down for a construction loan?
Traditionally, construction loans have required a 20% down payment, although there are government-sponsored schemes that allow lenders to accept smaller down payments. Borrowers who take a VA or USDA loan can qualify for a loan with no money down. Your down payment on an FHA loan might be as little as 3.5 percent.
If I already own the land, how would the construction loan work?
Simply put, if you already own land, you can use the equity in that land as a down payment for construction financing.
Are interest rates fixed for construction loans?
Construction loans have a set interest rate for a short period, and HELOCs are normally repaid over several years, you’ll typically pay less interest on a construction loan than on a HELOC.
What do construction loans cover?
Raw land, architectural plans, design fees, contractor labor, building materials, permits, and any other legitimate expense related to a construction project are all covered by construction loans.
Why are construction loans considered risky?
Construction-to-permanent loans are typically easier to qualify for than construction loans on their own. Because a lender can’t use an existing property as security if you can’t pay back the loan, a construction loan is riskier for them, thus the applicant must meet several criteria.

"When we first met with Aldo, to discuss the sale of our home, he provided local comps regarding current real estate market sales. He gave us a provisional breakdown of what we would be able to sell our home for. It was right on the money."
