How to Secure the Construction Loan You Need
Summary
Moving into a new house is exciting, and securing the right construction loan ensures you can rest easy once you're settled. With many options available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start and which features to prioritize. Here are some tips to help you find the best deal on your construction loan.
Steps to Secure a Construction Loan
Determine Your Financing Capacity
Start by consulting with a lender to identify how much financing you can obtain. Knowing this figure helps you plan your project's total budget, including closing costs and utility expenses.
Select Your Home Design
Choose a home design and consult with an architect and contractor. It's important to understand the architect’s fees and how many design revisions are included. This process will provide a detailed cost estimate for your dream home. Adjust your design if it exceeds your budget.
Approach Your Lender
With finalized plans, approach your lender for the construction loan. Remember, a preapproval isn’t the same as securing the loan, but it’s a good start.
Understand Loan Options
Familiarize yourself with different construction loan options. A loan convertible to a permanent one can save money and is often easier to secure from the same lender. Ensure this feature is included in your contract.
Down Payment Requirements
Typically, construction loans require a 10% down payment to qualify. A 20% down payment can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). Alternatively, consider piggyback loans: a primary mortgage covering 75-80% and a secondary one for the remaining 20-25%.
Transition to a Permanent Loan
When transitioning from a construction loan to a permanent one, consider current interest rate trends. Decide between an adjustable-rate or fixed-rate mortgage. Some loans offer a small cash flow for potential home additions.
By following these steps, you’ll be well-equipped to secure the right construction loan, ensuring a smoother journey to your new home.
