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!

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.

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!

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.
