Construction Loan Benefits
Key features that help simplify construction financing and manage costs along the way.
Structure
- A single closing covers both your construction loan and permanent mortgage — meaning one set of closing costs and a locked-in interest rate before you break ground.
- Make interest-only payments for up to one year, based on the amount drawn
- Exclude current housing costs from debt-to-income limits¹
- Mortgage insurance may not be required1
- Direct coordination with your chosen builder
Flexibility
- Easy extensions if your project experiences unexpected delays1
- Options for adjustable- or fixed-rate financing
- Access financing for up to 95 percent of the fair market property value — or 95 percent of lot value plus construction cost (whichever is less)2
