Questions

New Construction Loans FAQs

How do new construction loans work?

The loan funds your build in inspected draws while you pay interest only on the amount drawn. On a one-time close, it converts automatically to your permanent mortgage when the home is finished — one application, one closing, one set of fees.

What is a one-time close construction loan?

A single loan and single closing that covers both construction and the permanent mortgage. It locks your permanent terms up front and avoids the cost and requalification risk of a second closing.

Can I get a new construction loan on land I already own?

Yes — and it usually helps. Your lot equity typically counts toward the down payment, which can dramatically reduce the cash you need at closing.

What credit score is needed for a new construction loan?

Generally 640–680+ for conventional one-time close programs, with FHA and VA new construction options available at lower scores for qualified borrowers.

How long does a new construction loan take?

Expect roughly 30–45 days to close before the build starts, then a 6–12 month construction period depending on the home, your builder, and local permitting.
