Build a new home with one loan that funds construction and converts to a permanent mortgage.
Overview
A construction-to-permanent (C-to-P) loan covers the cost of building a home and then automatically converts to a standard mortgage once the home is complete. You close once, lock your rate up front (or float it), and pay interest-only on draws during the build.
It's a clean alternative to two separate loans (a short-term construction loan plus a takeout refinance) and saves on closing costs. Lenders look closely at the builder, the budget, the plans, and your overall financial profile, since they're committing to two stages of risk in a single transaction.
