Before you apply

You're ready to apply if you know...

You don't need every answer. If most of these are still open, a quick consultation is usually the better first step:

  • Where you plan to build. The state and county.
  • That you plan to live in the home. VA and FHA construction loans require it.
  • Whether you or your spouse served. VA may be an option.
  • Your land situation. Owned, under contract, or part of this loan.
  • Your builder or dealer. Or that you're still choosing, which is fine.
  • Your home type. Site-built, modular, manufactured, or a barndominium.

Not sure about some of these? Schedule a free consultation, and we'll work through them together.

Keeping your information safe

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will applying pull my credit?

A full application typically includes a credit check at the right step. We'll let you know before it happens. Talking with us on a free consultation doesn't pull your credit.

I already have a pre-approval for buying a home. Does that work?

Not on its own. A construction loan is a different kind of loan, so we'll start fresh, but bring your letter, since the information in it can still help.

Can I apply before I've picked a builder?

You can start, but your builder or dealer will need to be in place and approved before closing. If you're still choosing, a free consultation is a great place to begin.

What happens after I apply?

A member of our team will reach out to talk through your project, confirm what's needed next, and answer your questions.
