What loan options are available when purchasing land for a new construction?

Good Afternoon. We have a lending partner who offers a One Time Close that allows you to purchase the Land and also obtain the funds for the purchase and construction of either a Manufactured Dwelling or Modular Home. They do not allow Stick Built homes and you must work with a builder who will be willing to get approved through the lenders construction financing division. If you would like to know more, please send me a direct message through this site. Thank you!

First Citizens Bank offers lot loans as well as construction perm loans for primary and second homes, in Geogia and South Carolina.The lot loans are 25% down payment with 700 credit scores. The terms of the loan can go out as long as 5 years.The construction perm. loan can include the lot in the purchase with 90% loan to value up to $417,000. 80% up to $1,000,000.

You can get a lot loan or the builder may have already purcahsed the land then you can just get a Construction loan. You can also get a construction loan that will include the land but there aren't that many of those types of lenders do you'll need to search. I would recommend you check with your local credit union for that type of loan but they will most likely want you to put more money down.

Pay off land first, if possible.

If your considering purchasing a lot and then building a home on it, then there are a few things you could do... You could pay cash for the lot, and get a loan for the construction.. the lender will look at the purchase price of the lot and it's value will be considered as part of your required down payment.. if you already have a builder picked out, it's possible he might already own several lots he can build on.. but the possibilities' are endless here.. and so are you options.. the best thing you could do is get in touch with a local real estate agent who is used to dealing with new builds.. they often have a whole network of professionals to aid in the financing for these types of purchases.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.

There are a few options you have. However, it depends on when you intend to build. If you intend to build down the road, let's say 12 months or so, you could get a lot loan. Generally these are available through your local banks or credit unions. Mortgage brokers will have limited assess to these types of loans. If you have a current home and have enough equity you could take out a home equity or a fixed second mortgage and use the funds to pay cash.If you plan to build immediately you can go with a construction loan and pay for the lot out of the construction proceeds at time of closing the construction loan.More information is needed to get the right loan you need. I strongly suggest using a local lender. Construction loans and the process of these types of loans can be complicated and it's good to know that you can sit down in front of a local lender and workout any issues that may arise. There are usually two to three local Lenders / Banks in any city who specialize in construction lending. Shop around and do your due diligence because fees and rates can vary a great deal. I lend in the state on Indiana and not South Carolina so I cant help you directly. If you have any questions I can be reached at 317-566-6129 or elewis@firstmerchants.com. I am more than willing to offer advice.

You need to have a portion of the total cost to construct and the cost of the land - Most lenders who write these types of loans will want you to have 25-30 percent of the total of the land and construction.

Best option is a local bank
