People often ask me why construction loans are so difficult? One would think this is a question a potential client, building their first home, or maybe a Realtor new to the construction arena would ask. Unfortunately this question I get asked most by colleagues in my profession. Loan officers, processors, and senior loan managers are just a few that are confused by construction loans.
Let me give a little insight to why construction loans are very difficult to figure out (even for those in the mortgage profession).
There are more variables to consider.
This list could go on and on. My point is the amount of additional work that a construction loan requires is much greater than your last purchase or refinance. Keep in mind the mortgage a typical person completes has close to 35 people touching that transaction. With a construction loan there are even more associated with your file.
If any of this has you scratching your head you are not alone. Construction loans are dominated by a few select individuals because they are a special transaction. If anyone needs any more insight to my comment please let me know.
