One-Time Close Construction Loans

One-Time Close Construction Loans: Build Your Dream Home from the Ground Up

A One-Time Close (OTC) construction loan lets you purchase a lot and finance the construction of a new home with a single loan and a single closing. You only go through the approval and closing process once. When construction is complete, your loan automatically converts to a permanent mortgage with no second closing required.

Why One-Time Close?

Traditional construction financing requires two separate closings: one for the construction phase and one for the permanent mortgage at completion. That means two appraisals, two sets of closing costs, and two rounds of underwriting. A One-Time Close loan eliminates all of that. You close once, lock your rate, and start building.

One-Time Close Features

  • Loan amounts up to conforming loan limits
  • Can start with just a plot of land
  • No second closing or second appraisal when construction is complete
  • Rate locked at closing before construction begins
  • Available as FHA, VA, and Conventional products
  • Interest-only payments during the construction phase

Who Is This For?

One-Time Close loans are a great fit for buyers who want to build on land they already own, buyers purchasing a lot to build on, buyers working with a builder who has approved plans, and veterans who want to build a home with zero down using their VA benefit.

Construction loans are more involved than a standard purchase loan, so it is important to work with a lender who has experience with the process. Call Rob at 714-400-2317 or apply by clicking here.
