Financing

Most Smart Start Building Systems Owner–Builders seek construction–to–permanent financing in order to fund their building project. The independent regional dealer may provide some explanation of the wide variety of choices available. This type of financing provides incremental advances during the course of construction, which correspond to the degree of completion. These advances, called “Draws” are defined in the “Draw Schedule” that is part of the loan documentation. When construction is completed, a final inspection is typically conducted, the loan is modified from the construction phase to the permanent phase, and payments begin per the chosen amortization schedule.

Every lender will have different programs available, but most of the basic considerations are the same. The term of the loan, amount of the loan, interest rate, and processing fees, are some of the primary considerations. An appraisal of the property and valuation of the proposed new construction, plus review of the borrower’s credit worthiness, typically precede preparation of the financing documents.

While neither Smart Start Building Systems, nor it’s independent dealers, endorse any particular lender, links are provided for interested parties to learn more, and perhaps seek “pre-qualification” for a given loan amount, subject to a future property appraisal and maintaining current credit status. Establishing a realistic overall construction cost budget is the first step toward financing considerations.
