Can I use land appraisal as a down payment on a contruction loan?

I can get you a loan to do it all at once. Let's talk. 317-215-6687 or jasbury@winterwood.net. I'd be glad to help. And yes, it is possible.

Much more info needed, and your question is a bit confusing.. But in general, if buy land (for cash) and spend $50K, and you want to take out a construction loan, then the lot value is sufficient down payment to qualify for a construction loan. At this point, lets say you apply for construction loan for $200K, and all $200K was used in construction.. then once it's completed, you would apply for a $200K mortgage to pay off the construction loan. at this point you will owe $200K on a property worth $300K.. However, if you buy the lot for $50K, and finance $50K.. then according to guideline, you have no equity right now.. the equity will only be recognized after 5 months.. If after 6 months, the property is still worth $150K and you only borrowed $50K, then at this point you would have sufficient equity to obtain a construction loan. again, your question was a bit confusing, so I hope i assumed correctly.
