Questions
Ground Up Construction Loans FAQs
What is a ground up construction loan?
Financing for building on vacant land — it can cover lot acquisition plus the full vertical construction budget. Funds are advanced in inspected draws against the builder\u2019s schedule of values, with interest only on the drawn balance.
How much down payment does ground up construction require?
Commonly 15–25% of total project cost. If you already own the lot free and clear, its equity often counts toward your required contribution and can reduce cash to close substantially.
Do I need experience for a ground up construction loan?
Experience helps and drives your leverage. Newer builders can qualify with a licensed, insured, experienced general contractor, a realistic budget, and more equity in the deal.
How are draws handled on ground up construction?
You submit a draw request as each stage completes. An inspector verifies the work, then funds are released — typically within a few business days — so the build never stalls waiting on money.
Can I finance land and construction together?
Yes. A single facility can fund the lot purchase and the build, and can be structured to roll into a permanent mortgage or an investor rental loan at completion.
