Ever dreamed of building your dream house? Or have you found the dream house, but it needs some major construction renovation? Construction lending has never been easier! The construction loans I have to offer are fantastic because the borrower qualifies up front for the entire project and does not have to requalify at the modification (move in) point. This avoids the buyer having requalification problems later such as credit issues or job change/job loss.

Lots and land to build on
Construction of a primary residence
2nd Homes, Modular & Log Homes
Remodelers and Purchase Remodelers
