The Process

FROM LAND ACQUISITION
TO MOVE-IN.

A straightforward guide β€” one loan closes the land, finances the build, and converts to your permanent mortgage.

01 Getting Started
Build Strategy & Pre-Approval
  • Select your builder β€” they help shape your budget
  • Get pre-approved and establish your build budget
  • Choose your home site or bring your own land
  • Land can be acquired at closing via first draw
  • Rate locks before construction begins
02 Project Approval
Finalize & Close
  • Finalize plans, bids, and full budget
  • Appraisal based on proposed completed value
  • Loan closes β€” land seller paid at first draw
  • Draws available for permits and site development
  • Track progress via Built Management Software
03 Build & Convert
Build & Move In
  • Draws issued according to builder contract
  • Interest-only payments during construction
  • Certificate of occupancy obtained
  • Loan modifies to permanent β€” no refinance
  • Free float-down to market rate at completion
✦

Rate Float-Down Included. Lock your ceiling rate at closing β€” guaranteed not to increase. 30 days before your certificate of occupancy, if market rates are lower, we automatically move your rate down. You build at today's costs and still capitalize when rates fall.

  • Every cost is planned β€” every number is yours
  • Financing built so your margin stays exactly where you put it
  • Staged draws and lump sum both available
  • Everyone wins when the home is built
