Financing Every Step of the Way

We offer a comprehensive suite of construction loan options to meet each customer’s needs. From acquiring the land to completing construction, Twin Cedars Bank is your one-stop shop for financing the construction or renovation of your home:

• Lot Loan: Secure the perfect building site with a flexible lot loan. This option allows for interest-only payments during the first year, giving you time to prepare for construction.
• Construction Loan: Once you're ready to break ground, our construction loan provides the funds needed to finance the building process. Payments are interest-only based on the amount of money advanced, minimizing your initial financial burden.
• Permanent Loan: Once your new home is finished, your construction loan easily converts to a regular mortgage. We offer competitive rates and can lock in your construction loan interest rate in advance, ensuring financial stability throughout the project.

What is a Construction Loan?

Unlike a traditional home mortgage, a construction loan is a short-term financing solution for building a new home. Here's how it works:

• Loan Approval: We'll evaluate your financial situation and determine the maximum loan amount based on the estimated cost of construction and the appraised value of your completed home.
• Disbursement of Funds: As construction progresses, you'll receive loan advances in stages based on the completion of specific milestones.
• Interest-Only Payments: While your home is being built, you'll only pay interest on the money you've withdrawn from the loan.
• Conversion to Permanent Loan: Once your home is complete, your construction loan converts to a permanent mortgage with a fixed monthly payment that includes both principal and interest.

Reimagine Your Living Space

Breathing new life into your existing home can be incredibly rewarding. Whether you're looking to modernize your kitchen, create a spa-like bathroom retreat, or simply improve the functionality of your living space, a home renovation project can significantly enhance the comfort and enjoyment of your home. From replacing outdated fixtures to undertaking a complete room remodel, Twin Cedars Bank offers a variety of renovation loan options to help you finance your vision and transform your house into your dream home.
