What You Need to Know About How Construction Loans Really Work

The loan process you follow when searching for a construction loan has some similarities to that of obtaining a regular mortgage. You will still be judged on your income, credit, savings and monthly debts just like a regular mortgage.


However, with a construction to permanent loan, there are a few additional factors that lenders consider. Since the home is not yet built, an “as-finished” or “as-completed” value must be established by a “plans and specs” appraisal.


When you go to get a mortgage on an existing house, you will also need an appraisal to establish the value and to insure that you are not paying more for the house than it is worth. With a home that is not yet built, this is doubly important. The lender needs to see what the projected home will be worth based on other homes that are similar in the immediate area.


Basically, for an appraisal prior to construction, you will deliver to your appraiser a set of home plans along with a list of materials you intend to use to finish the home, such as flooring, appliances, countertops, etc. Then, the appraiser will go to the vacant lot upon which you plan to build, and he will determine an appraised market value based on the recent sale of very similar homes in the immediate area.  Read more...

There is no such thing as a weekend off and the hours can be late. You will have to clean, cook and prepare food long before your first customer sits down to order a meal. You can expect to work holidays and work more than a forty hour week.  Read more...
