Construction Loan Program

One-Close Construction Loan Program

Portfolio

One-Close Construction Loan Program incorporates a construction period of 9 or 12 months followed by a fully amortized loan term with a single closing.

 

Clear Lending offers Construction Loan Program a conforming construction-to-permanent loan with 9- or 12-month construction periods with only one closing. Minumum loan is $250,000. During construction, the program allows the borrower to make interest-only payments on the funds disbursed along with taxes and insurance. The borrower must carry a builder’s risk policy until the property is eligible for the standard homeowner insurance policy.

Once the house is complete, the mortgage loan note is modified, and so its monthly payment from interest-only with taxes and insurance to principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. Mortgage insurance will be activated, and the premium included in the modified monthly payment. This process will not affect those loans with an escrow waiver.

Finance soft costs (architectural, engineering, and permit fees); however, loan closing costs may not. Full third-party builder contracts only.

    Joan and Patricia guide us in the process of buying our home. They worked long hours and communicated constantly to ensure the process of our purchase went as smoothly as possible. We encounter a few hurdles along the way but with their experience, we were able to close our deal with no problems. Highly recommend to VA applicants. Follow their lead and you will be in your next home soon!!!

    Thank you guys for all the long hours you all have dedicated to get me approved and close my first home. As first time home buyer, I had no clue who to go with as this process can get overwhelming. I had contacted my bank plus a couple of options and somehow I felt I would be wasting my time. When I contacted clearlending I got the feeling they meant business and it has been fast and no lender fees. I can tell Joan is very knowlegeable after he would show me at every home appointment what to pay attention and what not to worry in regards the house structure. I was always told in Houston homes may have foundation issues and Joan gave me detailed explanations. This guy knows a lot. I truly recommend him. Thanks Joan.
