With a HELOC, you get a revolving line of credit that you can apply to cover construction costs. You start paying the mortgage when your house is finished at the end of construction. When your home is finished, the lender will inspect it and convert your construction loan into a standard mortgage loan. Lenders usually allow you to pay interest only during the construction process with a permanent construction loan, making these payments are very affordable.
Once your home is complete, you'll start paying a standard mortgage. You can get a final loan if the construction of the house has been completed. A positive aspect of a final loan is that the mortgage application for a newly built home is the same as for any other home. When it comes to funding requests, it's always appreciated that they're less complicated. You'll need to consider your housing options to ensure you have a place to sleep when you're between houses.
There are so many factors to consider when looking for a home (such as the style, size and location of the house, just to name a few), sometimes people don't even know where to start.
