Financing
Picking out a floor plan and faucets for the kitchen is a lot more fun than the steps to financing your new home, but it is a necessary evil.
Financing a home build takes more than just a standard mortgage, so unless you can foot the cost of building your house, you will need to make out a construction loan. You’ll need to provide the bank with a building timeline, floorplans, and building materials. An experienced builder should be able to provide this information for you.
Be prepared to pay a sizable down payment for your construction loan. 25% is a typical down payment. Also, don’t be surprised if the construction loan has an interest rate higher than a a typical mortgage.
Once your home is finished, you can refinance your construction loan into your permanent mortgage, or you can get a new loan to pay off the construction loan.
