How It Works

How a construction loan actually works

A construction loan funds a build in stages rather than all at once. You pay interest only on the money drawn, and the loan converts to or is replaced by permanent financing at completion.

1. Plans, permits & budget

Approved plans, a licensed general contractor, a line-item budget and a realistic timeline are required before underwriting begins.

2. Appraisal on future value

The appraiser values the completed project from your plans and specifications.

3. Loan sizing

Based on the lesser of total cost or a percentage of the as-completed value, with your land equity often counting toward the down payment.

4. Draw schedule

Funds release in stages as work is inspected and completed — foundation, framing, mechanicals, finish.

5. Interest-only during the build

You pay interest only on the outstanding balance, so early payments are small.

6. Convert or refinance

A single-close loan rolls automatically into permanent financing; a two-close structure refinances at completion.

Your Options

Construction and renovation structures

Ground-up, major renovation and small remodels each call for a different loan.

Single-close construction-to-perm
One closing, one set of costs, rate locked for the permanent loan up front.
Two-close construction
Short-term build loan followed by a separate permanent refinance — more flexibility, two sets of costs.
Owner-occupied custom build
Building the home you will live in, with your land equity as the down payment.
FHA 203(k) renovation
Buy and renovate an existing home with one loan based on after-improved value.
Fix & flip / investor build
Short-term, higher-leverage financing priced for speed rather than term.
ADU construction
Finance an accessory dwelling unit against the improved value of your property.

Honest Advice

What makes a construction loan go smoothly

Construction files fail on preparation, not on borrowers. Here is what actually matters.

Good fit: licensed, experienced builder

The contractor is underwritten too. A strong, insured, experienced GC carries real weight.

Good fit: owned land

Land equity often satisfies most or all of the down payment requirement.

Good fit: firm budget with contingency

A detailed budget with a 10% contingency is the single best predictor of a clean build.

Watch: change orders

Mid-build changes cost time and money and can require re-underwriting. Decide before you break ground.

Watch: permit timing

Jurisdiction delays extend interest-only periods. We build that into your plan.

Watch: owner-builder requests

Very few lenders allow you to act as your own general contractor. Expect to hire one.

Questions

Construction Loans FAQs

How does a construction loan work?

Funds are disbursed in draws as construction milestones are completed, with interest-only payments on the drawn balance during the build. When the home is finished, the loan converts to (or is replaced by) a permanent mortgage.

What is a construction-to-permanent loan?

A single-close loan that covers the build and automatically converts to your permanent mortgage when construction finishes — one application, one closing, one set of fees.

What down payment does a construction loan require?

Typically 10-20% of the total project cost (land plus build). If you already own your lot, its equity can often count toward the down payment.

Do I need a licensed builder?

Most programs require a licensed, insured general contractor with a track record. Some owner-builder options exist for qualified borrowers — ask us about the requirements.
