The process of building a home using a one-step closing construction loan typically involves the following steps:
- Determine your budget: Before you start the construction process, it’s important to determine your budget and work with a lender to secure financing.
- Find a builder: Choose a reputable builder who has experience building the type of home you want.
- Design the home: Work with the builder and architect to design the home, including selecting materials and finishes.
- Obtain necessary permits: The builder will need to obtain the necessary permits before construction can begin.
- Begin construction: Once permits are obtained, the construction process can begin.
- Disbursement of funds: With a one-step closing construction loan, the funds are disbursed to the builder as the construction progresses, rather than in stages like a traditional construction loan.
- Final inspection: Once construction is complete, the home will undergo a final inspection to ensure it meets local building codes.
- Conversion to a permanent mortgage: Once the final inspection is complete, the construction loan will be converted to a permanent mortgage, which means you will start making regular mortgage payments.
- Move in: After the permanent mortgage is in place, you can move into your new home.
