You ask specifically about one available in South Carolina but I can say that all construction to perm loans are similar in most States and you are not likely to find one with 5% to 10% down. We are licensed to do loans in South Carolina though not myself specifically as I am licensed only in California. I think you are just going to have to come up with that 20% required down payment. A conventional renovation loan is available but that hardly helps you with new construction.
No.. in fact, most will require at the very least, 20% or more down.. If however, you already own a lot free-n-clear, and you are building on that lot, then it can be calculated as the required down payment so long as it represents 20% or more of the completed value.. Also, I'm not sure doing a construction to perm is the best loan product.. it will lock you into using the same lender where there might be better loan options available once the time comes..
