What is a Construction Loan?

When you purchase an existing home, the financing process is complete when the loan closes. With a construction loan, the closing is only the beginning. A construction loan is a short-term loan to fund the construction of your new home. During construction you will make interest only payments to FORUM on the outstanding balance of the construction loan until the home is complete.
 

How do Construction Loans work?

When building is complete, your construction loan will be converted to a long-term mortgage. Your FORUM Mortgage advisor will work closely with you to determine an appropriate loan amount. It is a good idea to get pre-approved ahead of time so that you will know how much home you can afford.
