That’s a fixed-rate home loan that pays for construction then converts to a permanent mortgage when your custom home is complete – without the worry of potential interest rate hikes.

If you need to borrow less than the conventional loan limits ($766,550 in 2024) a One Time Close loan may be a good choice.
With interest rates rising, a One Time Close home loan helps you to lock in your rate when you qualify for your home loan.
If you own your property, a One Time Close loan may let you take advantage of the equity in your land to build your home with little or no down payment.
When you want to build a high-value or unusual home, especially one on a big lot, a construction-to-permanent (CTP) loan may be a good choice. That’s because large or unusual homes and those on large lots don’t typically qualify for conventional financing.
A construction loan lets you buy the home you want in the place you want to live. A traditional mortgage lets you buy a home in a subdivision or an existing home.
Do you mind waiting for your new home to be built? It takes an average of 7 months to build a new home. But it could be faster or slower where you want to build based on waiting times for new home construction permits.
Sometimes, people buy a lot or land while waiting for their new home building permit to come through. Land and lot loans typically require a 30% down payment. If you don’t have the cash for that, you may be able to get a second mortgage to cover that cost.
After you buy the land or lot, its value is included in the estimated completion value of your new home based on the current market value of your home upon completion. That can make it easier to qualify for a construction loan as well as take advantage of the future value to reduce your monthly mortgage payment.
Here's an example to explain how that would work:
You buy a lot for $100,000, putting down $30,000 (30%). The new home will be worth an estimated $400,000. When you apply for a construction loan, your home equity will be $100,000 (the value of the land). That $100,000 is a 25% down payment on the $400,000 home.
With a One Time Close construction loan (OTC), you get a home loan to build a new home on land you own, or to build using a lot and home package. The interest rate and approval is set when you take out your One Time Close home loan. You have peace of mind knowing what your rate will be and you will not need to qualify again when the home is complete. You can enjoy the process of getting your keys and moving right in.
With a Construction-to-Permanent (CTP) loan, you split the steps in two. First you take out a construction loan to pay the home builder. When the home is finished, you take out a permanent loan to pay off the construction loan. The interest rate on that permanent loan is based on the going rate when your home is complete and you will have to qualify for the permanent loan at the time of completion.
When you’re buying a home, tearing it down, and building a new one on the same foundation, you may be able to use a renovation purchase home loan.
People sometimes do this instead of building from the ground up because it may save a lot of money on permits. Renovation purchase home loans are also used to buy a home with safety or health issues that prevent you from getting a traditional mortgage.
With just one loan, you can finance both the land and the construction costs, streamlining the entire process. What makes it even more appealing? You only need a 3.5% down payment, and don't worry if your credit isn't sparkling; a less-than-perfect score can still get you on the path to homeownership with an FHA One Time Close construction home.
Since these rates can fluctuate rapidly, sometimes even within an hour, it's best to get the most up-to-date information. Contact us at 888-966-9044 or request a quote, and we'll be happy to provide you withthe latest details on how you can secure the best possible rate.
