New Construction Mortgages
There are great perks to building your own home; however, financing a home construction project is more complicated than buying an existing home.
Instead of competing to buy an existing house, you might consider building a new home.
New Construction Mortgages
We offer Conventional, FHA, VA & USDA One-Time-Close (OTC) programs. With these construction loan programs borrowers can finance the construction, lot purchase, and permanent loan into a single loan.
Note that we also offer a variety of renovation loans programs. These products can be an ideal fit for individuals looking to purchase a distressed property or a home in need of updates where the borrower can finance the cost of repairs and updates into a single purchase loan.
Pros of New Construction mortgages
You don’t pay for premium features you don’t want, like a finished attic or wall-to-wall carpeting
You may get more value for money because you get the layout you desire
Maintenance and repair costs will be low for the first 7 to 10 years. Minor repairs get covered under your home warranty, and you usually have a one- to ten-year builder warranty
Cons of New Construction mortgages

Cost overruns
Weather delays
Delays because materials were delivered late
