Frequently Asked Questions - On Your Lot
These questions and answers are intended to help you understand more about Hutchinson Homes Inc. “On Your Lot” program.
01/ What is a construction loan?
Answer:
Construction loans are short-term loans that use the proceeds to pay for construction. Most “On Your Lot” builders require the homebuyer to obtain a construction loan and use their money to build the home. As each phase of construction is complete, the buyer pays interest on that portion.
For example, 12% of funds were released to obtain permits. The buyer pays interest on that amount. At
the slab stage, another 12% draw is released and now the buyer pays interest on the combined draw amounts. This process continues along with construction, meaning with each month the buyer pays a larger payment until all funds have been released. At that time, the buyer’s construction loan turns into a permanent loan and full mortgage payments begin.
