How They Work
There are two components to a construction loan – the time during construction (also known as the draw period) and the time after construction (the permanent mortgage loan period). Here's how it all works.
During Construction
- As work is completed, and when you agree a contractor should be paid, we'll release the funds to the title company to pay your contractor
- You're only responsible for interest payments on your loan at this time
After Construction
- Your construction loan transitions into a permanent mortgage loan (your payments will reflect the interest rate at the time of your original loan application)
- It will automatically be a Summit adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) loan, but in some cases you can opt to apply for a fixed-rate mortgage loan
Special Documentation & Approvals
To make sure that you qualify for a construction loan, in addition to the paperwork and documents required for a typical mortgage, Summit will need to review the following from your builder:
- Project plans and specifications
- Construction contract
- Construction cost breakdown
For any other questions about the process, you can talk with a Summit Mortgage Loan Officer.
