Construction Loans

What are Construction Loans?

Construction Loans are short-term loans used to finance the building of a home or another real estate project. The builder or home buyer takes out a construction loan to cover the costs of the project before obtaining long-term funding. Because they are considered fairly risky, construction loans usually have higher interest rates than traditional mortgage loans. Construction loans are ideal for people who are looking to build their dream home.
