How to Finance Land and a Modular Home
When you’re financing a modular home and land, you’ll have a slightly different process than another home buyer who is purchasing a house that was already built.
Instead of applying for a mortgage, you’ll need to apply for a construction loan first. This loan will cover the cost of labor, materials and everything that goes inside. Constructing a modular home can have much lower prices than other types of homes because the house is built at a different indoor site and then assembled at your lot.
After the construction is finished, though, that construction loan will turn into a traditional mortgage. A representative from your bank will come to your home to complete an inspection and appraisal to determine the exact value of the mortgage.
During the construction phase, you are typically only charged interest. Then, after it becomes a mortgage, you make your monthly payments over the agreed period.
Financing Tips
With the different financing options for modular homes compared to other types of home buying, the process can seem a little bit intimidating. But, when you work with Green Diamond Builders, it won’t be!
While you’re financing your modular home, you should keep a few important things in mind. Like with any loan, you should shop around for the best rates. If you can save money during the construction phase with lower interest payments, you can put those savings toward your mortgage payments down the road.
You also need to plan for surprise costs during construction. You can avoid certain extra costs, like delays from weather, but sometimes surprise added costs do pop up. While working with your contractor, you can discuss adding an extra budget that can cover these costs.
At Green Diamond Builders, we will work with you through every step of the construction process.
