How Does a Residential Lot Loan Work?
Plan
Let’s start with your finances – getting them sorted is key! Next up, find and choose a builder. But here’s an important step: ensure your builder is ready and qualified to work with TEGFCU. Keep it simple, friendly, and clear – because we’re here to help you every step of the way!
Apply
Gather up your specs, plans, surveys, and all the necessary permits and certificates. It’s like collecting the pieces of a puzzle! Next step? Grab your builder’s proposed disbursement schedule. Remember, we’re here to guide you, offering valuable info every step of the way.
Build
TEGFCU will inspect if needed. Why? Because we care about making things right. Next up, we’ll send the funds to your builder following the disbursement schedule. During construction, you’re only paying the interest on the loan. That’s right, just the interest. Let’s get building!
Convert
You’ll need to provide us with your certificate of occupancy, the final survey, and your homeowner’s insurance policy. Next up, let’s look at the amortization documents together. Why? Because they’re your roadmap to understanding how your mortgage payments are going to roll out before you begin the last step, repayment.
Did you know Residential Lot Loans go by many other names?
You might hear them called land purchase loans, raw land loans, land lot loans, land mortgage loans, vacant land loans, or even land and construction loans, to list a few. But here’s the key point: no matter what name they go by, these loans help you finance the land where you’ll build your dream home. It’s all about getting you closer to turning that dream into reality!
Darren was so helpful throughout our entire home buying process. He was knowledgeable, always willing the answer any question that we had, and seamlessly guided us through the whole process. Thank you, Darren!
It was absolutely wonderful working with Jessica, she was available to assist and answer questions constantly throughout the process and helped facilitate the quickest closing possible for us!
As a realtor, I confidently refer my clients to Darren knowing they will be in good hands. He’s patient, knowledgeable and super responsive which is important to me. If you’re looking for a loan officer to work with, I HIGHLY recommend Darren DiBenedetto.
Darren is one of the most dedicated, thorough, and compassionate loan originators I have ever met. He is always accessible, takes calls/texts/emails and responds almost immediately. I have never had a transaction with Darren that has not closed. I would, and do, recommend him to my clients. And he’s a great guy 🙂 Thanks for everything Darren!
Jeff Shields was extremely helpful in helping me go forward with my mortgage for a new home. I was on a strict timeline as well as we were nearing the end of our current lease and he did all he could to expedite the process. He was always available to ask a question and f he was on the phone/in a meeting he’d get back promptly. I will call Jeff again if I have any finance needs!
