How Does a Residential Lot Loan Work?
Plan
Let’s start with your finances – getting them sorted is key! Next up, find and choose a builder. But here’s an important step: ensure your builder is ready and qualified to work with TEGFCU. Keep it simple, friendly, and clear – because we’re here to help you every step of the way!
Apply
Gather up your specs, plans, surveys, and all the necessary permits and certificates. It’s like collecting the pieces of a puzzle! Next step? Grab your builder’s proposed disbursement schedule. Remember, we’re here to guide you, offering valuable info every step of the way.
Build
TEGFCU will inspect if needed. Why? Because we care about making things right. Next up, we’ll send the funds to your builder following the disbursement schedule. During construction, you’re only paying the interest on the loan. That’s right, just the interest. Let’s get building!
Convert
You’ll need to provide us with your certificate of occupancy, the final survey, and your homeowner’s insurance policy. Next up, let’s look at the amortization documents together. Why? Because they’re your roadmap to understanding how your mortgage payments are going to roll out before you begin the last step, repayment.
Did you know Residential Lot Loans go by many other names?
You might hear them called land purchase loans, raw land loans, land lot loans, land mortgage loans, vacant land loans, or even land and construction loans, to list a few. But here’s the key point: no matter what name they go by, these loans help you finance the land where you’ll build your dream home. It’s all about getting you closer to turning that dream into reality!
Jessica was a pleasure to work with. She responded promptly to emails and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the process.
Jeff was my loan officer and was truly great to work with. I really appreciate how quick and responsive he was throughout our time working together. If we ever had any questions or concerns, Jeff was always quick to help. I would surely recommend him to anyone looking to apply for a mortgage.
I worked with Jessica and Laura’s team from TEG on purchasing my home. My experience was beyond exemplary. Jessica was extremely attentive, very knowledgeable and gave me her honest opinion and expectations during the loan process! I highly recommend both Jessica and Laura from TEG for their mortgage expertise!!!
Just closed on a house with Mortgage Officer Jeffrey Shields. Buying a home is one of the most stressful endeavors I have faced. Boy am I glad I was referred to Jeffrey! Jeffrey was able to guide me every step of the way and take loads of stress off my shoulders. Jeffrey was extremely professional and personable, always responding to my emails/phone calls promptly and answering the dozens of questions that I had. I felt as if I was being treated as a friend, not just a client. If you are in the hunt for a home, do yourself a favor and give Mortgage Officer Shields a call. You will not be disappointed!
Jeffrey made the entire home buying process a breeze. He is extremely professional and courteous. He made himself available to us all hours of the day. No question on ours went unanswered, nor did we feel any question of ours was too simple. Jeffrey went about and beyond to put us at ease in an otherwise stressful process. He was willing to use his own personal time to resolve a last minute issue and we are so grateful we went with him.
