| What
are they?
A Construction to Permanent Loan is a "One Time Closing
Loan" available to Borrowers who have an agreement with
an "approved" General contractor/builder to build their
single family detached personal residence. Borrowers
will have one closing and will sign one set of loan
documents for both the construction and permanent phase
of the home. Our lenders provide the borrower with the
loan amount to construct their new home with financing
up to 95% of the value of the home.
The Borrower has the choice of using the "Prime Plus" or
the "Fixed Rate" options in the construction phase. With
either option, the permanent rate can be locked in up
front and guaranteed with today's rate. When using the
"Prime Plus" option, the Borrower does not have to lock
and may choose to "float" or use the "Range Protector"
program. When using the "Fixed Rate" optinon, the
Borrower must agree to lock his interest rate for the
entire construction period.
The following loan programs are available for Construction
to Permanent mortgages: 30 year Conventional, 15 year
Conventional, 7 year Balloon, 5 year Balloon, 30 year
Jumbo, and 15 year Jumbo.
Term
Generally, the construction phase varies from 6 to 9 to 12
months while the permanent loan is amortized over a 30
or 15 year term.

Permanent Loan:
