Construction Loan Program:

One-Close Construction Loan Program

One-Close Construction Loan Program incorporates a construction period of 6, 9 or 12 months followed by a fully amortized loan term with a single closing.

Clear Lending offers Construction Loan Program a conforming construction-to-permanent loan with 6-, 9- or 12-month construction periods with only one closing. During construction, the program allows the borrower to make interest-only payments on the funds disbursed along with taxes and insurance. The borrower must carry a builder’s risk policy until the property is eligible for the standard homeowner insurance policy.

Once the house is complete, the mortgage loan note is modified, and so its monthly payment from interest-only with taxes and insurance to principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. Mortgage insurance will be activated, and the premium included in the modified monthly payment. This process will not affect those loans with an escrow waiver.

Finance soft costs (architectural, engineering, and permit fees); however, loan closing costs may not. Full third party builder contracts only.
