A construction loan is a short-term loan meant for real estate development. With this loan, you can buy land, build on a property you already own, and if the land has existing structures, you can use some of the funds to renovate. Just like with a line of credit, you only borrow what you need when you need it, and you’ll only be required to pay interest on the exact amount borrowed. With a loan for land purchase and construction from Blackhawk Bank, you can secure funding for the whole project. This means that there will be fewer closing costs and less paperwork.
You can use the funds from the low-interest to fund just about any part of your project including purchasing the land, laying the foundation, framing, and finishing. Once you’ve completed the construction, the loan becomes a traditional mortgage.
From finding the perfect land, to ground-breaking to move-in, you’ll get special advantages when you obtain your lot, construction and end-loan (permanent mortgage financing) from Blackhawk Bank. Extended lock options are available on your permanent financing.

The first step should be to talk to your Blackhawk Bank mortgage advisor. In deciding what to include in your home, the amount you may borrow will be a significant part of your discussion with your builder. One of our advisors can also help you understand how our construction loans are structured.
To get qualified, you’ll be required to provide your basic income, asset, and debt information. Construction loans are unique because we’ll need to approve your construction plans. So, you should have a signed purchase or construction contract with your developer or builder. This contract will feature certain aspects that will impact your loans, such as the construction start and completion dates and the contract amount, which includes the cost of land purchase and construction.
