The Basics of
CONSTRUCTION
LOAN FINANCING
Financing a home can be overwhelming. That’s why we offer a simple
breakdown of your options to help you make informed decisions.

3 Ways to

Finance

Your Home Build

Traditional loans are paid out by a mortgage company to cover the cost of the home in one lump-sum at closing. In contrast, construction loans are paid out in installments. A bank will pay the builder as various phases of the building process are completed. The total cost is transferred to you once the entire project is finished.

Cash

You can pay for construction out of pocket if you have the cash on hand. While this is a great option, many people find it unaffordable.

You carry the construction loan

This is a different type of loan than your long term financing. This is a popular option for buyers who do not have a full 10% Builder Deposit to have Lightyear carry the construction loan. Many Lenders can do 5% deposit or even as low as 3.5% deposit in certain situations. This is also a popular option for those clients who wish to be in more control by owning the lot and hiring Lightyear as a Builder. Reach out to one of our recommended Lenders for more information.

Lightyear Carries the Construction Loan

This option requires a 10% Builder Deposit. This is a popular option for those who have that large of a Builder Deposit. Clients have enjoyed how easy it is to let Lightyear Construction buy the lot and work through all of the construction payment installments, allowing the client to worry about the one time payment or long term loan when the home is done.
