What Is A Construction Loan?


A construction loan is a short-term loan that covers only the costs of custom home building. This is different from a mortgage, and it’s considered specialty financing. Once the home is built, the prospective occupant must apply for a mortgage to pay for the completed home.

Construction-Only Loan


This type of loan is short-term and is usually issued for a year. It’s meant to cover only the actual construction period.

Construction-To-Permanent Loan


Construction-to-permanent loans are a financing option that prospective custom home builders can apply for. Like construction-only, construction-to-permanent financing are one-time loans that fund construction and then convert into a permanent mortgage. During the construction phase, borrowers make interest-only payments.
