Questions About New Construction Loans:

What is a New Construction Loan?

It’s a short-term financing solution from a hard money lender that allows investors to build a new structure on either shovel-ready land or a tear-down property.

What is the difference between this and a Fix and Flip Loan?

New Construction Loans are specifically designed for borrowers to build from the ground up, whereas Fix and Flip Loans are intended to renovate distressed properties. The key difference is in the type of property being purchase. Existing structures that are to be torn down and empty lots that already have street access, a sewage system, and utlities access qaulify for a New Construction Loan. Existing structures that are to be kept but will undergo significant renovations are eligible for a Fix and Flip Loan.

Do you need cash in hand for one?

In order to secure a New Construction Loan, the borrower will need to provide at least 25% of the total project costs (LTC). Without the borrower puttign “skin in the game,” lenders would not be able to offer reasonable rates to account for the amount of risk involved in the project.

How long until you have to pay it back?

These are normally shortterm loans, meaning up to 12 months. Often times new construction projects can take more than a year, so loan extensions or longer loan terms can be determined and added to the terms of the loan.

Can these loans be used to build on raw land?

No, raw land is not a qualifying property type for a New Construction Loan. To qualify, the lot must already have street access, a sewage system available, and utilities access. If an investor or developer uses another lender to finance the development of the land, they can refinance the project into a New Construction Loan once the utilities are in place and the lot becomes eligible.

Are there any prepayment penalties?

There are no prepayment penalties or fees associated with these loans. This means if you finish your project before the end of the loan term you will not be charged a fee and will simply save money by paying less in interest payments.
