What is a One-Time Close Construction Loan?
A loan designed to finance the costs of building your own home, such as:
-
Materials

Labor

Land
-
Onsite utilities, etc.
A One-Time Close Construction Loan combines a traditional construction loan and a mortgage into one loan. This means that you only apply once to be approved and only pay one set of closing costs.
