Tennessee Home Construction Loan

Looking to build your own home in Tennessee, and need some advice on getting a home construction loan? Getting a combination construction loan/permanent financing is going to be the most viable option for most people. Combination home loans allow for the financing of construction and the conversion to permanent financing with a single set of closing cost and simplifying the process by working with only one lender. Whether you are building in Tennessee or Timbuktu, the lender that you choose will be according to the terms that you are able to negotiate. Many lenders offer nationwide service, so don’t restrict yourself to only local lenders. Shop around, get pricing and terms from multiple lenders, and select the best option.

Considerations for Tennessee Home Construction Loans

Keep these things in mind when you are shopping for the appropriate lender:

• Simplicity of the Loan Process
  Don’t let the lender dazzle you with hundreds of steps through the loan process and how they will help you. Go with something simple, not too much paperwork, and some leniency in the draw process. You want the lender to have as little as possible to do with the construction of the home, they are only there to provide the financing.
• One Closing
  Make sure that there will not be multiple closings, as this will cost you unnecessary fees. You should go through the loan approval process, get approved and sign the loan, submit draw request forms, and do you final closing. Much more than that, be suspicious.
• Down and Interest
  Home construction loans are like any other loans in this respect. Get the best interest rate you can by shopping around, and look at the down payment requirement as well, make sure it fits your budget. During the construction phase, don’t worry too much about these terms, they really matter when you

  close your permanent financing, and you should expect to pay a higher interest rate during the construction phase, because of the increased risk to the lender.

• Credibility
  Do some quick research online and ask your friends and family. Make sure the lender you are working with has some customers that are happy with the service provided. It doesn’t take long to search out, and if there is a lot of negative experiences with other customers, your chances of finding out about those experiences is very likely, as people talk more about bad circumstances than good ones.
