Timber framing and forested ridges of the kind that surround our Johnson City office

Where we serve

Six states. Real cities. One team.

Our team in Johnson City finances construction loans across Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky. The programs are the same everywhere. What changes is local permitting, septic rules, and the land. Choose the state your land is in, then the closest city.

What stays the same

One team. Same programs. Local know-how.

Wherever you build, you work with the same small team, and most clients work with us entirely by phone, video, and email. We offer VA, FHA, and conventional one-time close construction loans in all six states.

Each city page covers what's different about building there: who issues building permits, how septic approval works, and what to plan for before you commit. If your town isn't listed, start with your state page. We serve all of each state, not just these cities.

Not sure where to start? Who we serve is organized by situation, like building on land you already own or using your VA benefit.

Working with us anywhere in the six states

Most of our clients never visit the office. We work by phone, text, video, and email, and you're welcome to meet in person in Johnson City by appointment.

If your land is near a state line, like in Bristol or near Fort Campbell, the state your land is in decides the rules. Bring your parcel information to your consultation.

Call (423) 406-1567 or schedule a free consultation. It takes about 20 minutes, with no application required. Builders and dealers can start at builder and dealer partners.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you work in every county in those six states?

We help with eligible projects across all six states, not just in the cities listed. Whether a project works depends on the land, the home, and your qualifications, so tell us your county on the first call.

Why these cities?

They're the areas where we work most often, and where we've written up the local permitting and septic details. If your town isn't listed, start with your state page.

Can I use you if I live in another state and build in one of the six?

Yes. Where you live now doesn't decide it; where your land is does. See relocating and building.

What about West Virginia or other neighboring states?

We offer NewBuild construction loans in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Kentucky only.

Is Johnson City your only office?

Yes. Our city and state pages describe the areas we serve. They aren't separate offices.

Your land. Your build. Let's talk it through.

A free consultation is 20 minutes. We cover your land, your eligibility, and the right loan structure. No application required.
