Program parameters

What the one-time-close construction program supports. These are program parameters, not a rate, payment, or down-payment claim.

11-Month Build Period

Construction phase covers up to 11 months, plus a modification window to convert to permanent financing.

Rate Lock up to 90 Days

Lock your permanent mortgage rate before construction starts — protection against rate movement during the build.

5% Contingency Reserve

A contingency reserve is built into the budget to absorb change orders and unexpected build costs without re-underwriting.

5–10 Draw Schedule

Funds release in scheduled draws tied to construction milestones — inspected and approved before each release.

One Application

Single qualification process covers both construction and permanent financing. No re-approval at completion.

Builder Approval

Licensed general contractor required. Owner-builder permitted on primary residence. Builder approval package runs alongside your application.

Who we help build

From first-time builders to tear-down rebuilders — construction financing that fits the project.

Custom Home Builders

You have the vision and the lot. One loan takes you from plans to permanent mortgage.

Land Owners

You own the land. We finance land + build + permanent financing together — no juggling three loans.

Tear-Down Rebuilders

Right neighborhood, wrong house. Demo permits, construction, and permanent mortgage in one close.

First-Time Builders

One specialist walks you through draws, inspections, and the mod-to-permanent step. No expert required.

Rural & Acreage Builders

Rural property-ready program — acreage, outbuildings, and septic/well workflows supported.

ADU & Addition Builders

Accessory dwelling units and major additions qualify under the single-close program.

Why traditional construction financing fails

Most banks push you through two separate loans — a construction loan and a permanent mortgage. Two closings. Two sets of fees. Two qualification rounds. One-Time Close eliminates all of that.

Two closings, two sets of fees

Conventional construction financing closes once when you break ground and again when you convert to permanent — doubling closing costs and underwriting stress.

Re-qualification mid-build

When the construction loan ends, most programs re-underwrite your income and credit before the permanent mortgage — any life change mid-build can derail the conversion.

No rate protection

Most construction loans float during the build. If rates climb while you're building, your permanent mortgage payment climbs with them.

Builder approval chaos

Traditional banks push builder approval onto you. Our program runs builder approval alongside your application, on one timeline, with one team.

Frequently asked questions

A one-time close (OTC) construction loan combines your construction financing and permanent mortgage into a single loan with one closing. You qualify once, close once, and move from construction to a permanent mortgage through a simple modification — no second application, no second set of closing costs.

The program supports a rate lock up to 90 days. You can secure your permanent mortgage rate before construction begins — protecting you from rate movement during the build. Your specialist will walk through the lock strategy before you break ground.

You'll need credit history, income documentation, construction plans with specs, and a builder approval package. The primary residence, second home, and investment property pathways all have slightly different eligibility — your specialist will tell you which fits in the first call.

Up to 11 months of construction, plus a modification window to convert the loan to permanent financing. Funds release in scheduled draws (typically 5–10 depending on project complexity) tied to inspected milestones.

Yes — as long as they're a licensed general contractor who can be approved through the program's builder package. Owner-builder is permitted on primary residence. Builder approval runs alongside your application so the two finish together.
