"Here at North Pointe Bank, we offer a construction to permanent purchase or refinance financing up to 95 percent for Eastwood's Build On Your Own Lot program! Yes, this means you can purchase land and do a construction build and only put 5 percent down. This is considered a construction to permanent purchase. If you already own land and have any equity in the land, this is considered a construction to permanent refinance which allows us to use the equity in your land towards that 5 percent. In most cases of the land being owned free and clear, I can finance the entire build if there are no qualifying issues. If you have an existing lien on your land, we will get that paid off and roll it into the construction loan. On a construction to permanent loan, we receive the contract from the build (and land if a purchase), and then we lock in your interest rate and close within 30-45 days. Once your loan closes, the build begins! We allow 12–18-month build periods depending on your builders’ requirements.
During a construction to permanent loan, you have 3 phases: Construction Phase, Modification Phase, and Permanent Phase.
1. During the construction phase, you will pay interest only on what we have paid the builder so essentially your payment will increase as the build progresses. You will not pay any escrows at this time either.
2. Once your loan hits 85 percent complete, your loan will move into the modification process. This phase allows you to make any changes before your permanent 30-year mortgage kicks in. Some clients choose to pay down their balance with any extra funds they want to put towards the project. You also will be able to “float down” your rate to wherever rates are at that time at NO COST. If for some reason the rates have gotten worse, your rate will stay where it was. Basically, it can only get better not worse! Also during the modification phase, you will set up your escrow account for taxes and insurance.
3. Lastly, the permanent phase! This means your build is complete and we have received the Certificate of Occupancy. It is now move in time and your mortgage will begin the 30-year term paying both principal and interest."
