How Construction Financing Works

Construction loans typically release funds in stages, called draws, as work is completed and inspected. Once the home is finished, the construction financing is converted to or replaced by a long-term mortgage.

How that transition works depends on the loan structure. Ryan explains the options available for your project before you commit.

What Lenders Typically Review

  • The builder, including licensing, experience and the construction contract
  • Plans, specifications and the construction budget
  • The lot, whether you already own it or are buying it
  • Your credit, income and cash reserves
