Builder's Mortgage
Construct a home and pay for it in stages as it is being built.
-
Our mortgage experts have considerable experience with construction mortgages and can help you through this complex process.
-
Though no two construction projects are the same, we will consider the value of the land, the purchase price, the cost of materials and any sweat equity as well as the appraised value in determining the necessary down payment and payment terms.
-
Once construction is under way, you will be required to make regular interest payments on the funds that have been advanced, according to the completion stage of your home.
-
When construction is complete and the mortgage is fully advanced, regular principal and interest payments begin.
