Looking for a Lot Loan
Posted on 3/19/14 at 8:24 pm
Posted on 3/19/14 at 8:24 pm
I am looking to buy 4 acres. I will be building on it in 3-5 yrs. Any one know which banks I should contact? And what the % rates are going to be. TIA

6.5% and it will be land loan. I couldn't find any banks with good rates for anything over 3 acres.

I'm pretty sure LA Land Bank would do something like that.

Interest only payments but you have to build on it within a year
If you don't, they require 10%

Yea land loans are higher. E-Federal credit union was 15 years at 6% about 5 years ago when I got mine. They were the lowest I found at the time.

I used E federal Credit Union when we did our lot loan. It was 6.5%. Needed 20% down.

Do you have equity in your current home? We took out a HELOC to buy our lot. This way the interest is deductible since the actual loan is on your house. The rate is probably better too.

Probably have about $30000 in equity . Not near enough to cover the cost of the land. I have to 20% down payment. Just trying to see what institutions where giving as far as interest rates.

call whitney bank..i dont know the current land rates but 6-7% should be the ballpark

why are banks so strict on lending to purchase land when land is your safest investment?
Posted on 3/20/14 at 10:11 pm to Ford Frenzy
Harder to sell land is why

Because land is just like a boat loan, it's the first thing that goes when something goes bad
Word through the grapevine is Dow is offering arm land loans, rates in the fours and lower
Pretty smart of them, most everyone is know is 6-7
