Construction-to-Permanent Loan

Defined by Onias Derilus, Mortgage Capital · NMLS# 1859012 · Florida licensed mortgage broker

A construction-to-permanent loan finances both the building of a new home and the long-term mortgage in a single loan with one closing.

What Construction-to-Permanent Loan means

During construction, the borrower pays interest only on funds drawn. When the home is finished, the loan converts to a standard mortgage without a second closing or set of fees. It streamlines new-build financing.

Florida example

A buyer building a custom home near Ocala used a construction-to-permanent loan, paying interest on draws during the build, then converting to a 30-year fixed mortgage at completion.

What it is

A construction-to-permanent loan funds the build and then converts to a regular mortgage. It combines two loans into one closing.

You save the cost and hassle of closing twice.

Who it fits

It suits buyers building a new home who want one simple loan. Draws pay the builder as work is completed.
