Standard construction + refinance
You scroll listings daily. Drive through neighborhoods that peaked in 1987. Compromise on layout, location, and condition — then pay top dollar for the privilege.
You don't have to keep scrolling Zillow hoping the perfect house appears. You can create it. We finance the dirt, the build, and the finished home — all in one loan.
Before you settle for someone else's compromises, here's what a one-time-close construction loan can do for you.
One loan. One closing. Zero surprises.
With a one-time-close loan, you pay for one appraisal, one set of closing costs, and one loan — not two. Traditional two-time-close loans force you to close once for construction, then refinance again when the home is finished. That means double origination fees, double title work, and double the paperwork. Our one-time-close programs eliminate that second closing entirely, typically saving buyers thousands in duplicated fees and out-of-pocket costs.
And if a traditional two-time-close makes more sense for your situation — we do those too . No cookie-cutter advice. Just the right loan for your build.
From first-time builders to experienced developers, we have a construction loan that fits.

Our dedicated Nationwide Builder Division was built from the ground up specifically for construction lending. While most lenders treat builder qualification as an afterthought, we have a team that specializes exclusively in builder relationships — from vetting and approval to draw management and final inspection.
We'll review and approve them on your behalf — most builders qualify quickly once we walk them through our process. Don't let lender restrictions kill your dream home.
