Terms for a land only loan?
Posted on 7/19/15 at 10:04 am
Posted on 7/19/15 at 10:04 am
Found a lot in an subdivision I want to buy and hold for a while. It is the last lot in a place i really want to build. I can't wrap it into a construction loan bc I probably won't build on it for a year or two at least. I know i'll need to go thru a local bank. What length of loan,down payment, and rate should I expect? Thanks

I used Bancorp south. 10 year loan with 20% down. HELOC rate which was 7% for me.

Make sure if hood has covenants you read them carefully. Most will require construction to start within "x" amount of time after lot purchase

Our land loan loan through Iberville Bank was 5.25% for 15 years, 10% down.

Thanks. I always give everyone the same advice.
This place has been around 30 or 40 years and the lot has already been sold at least once. There isn't a timeline on it building on it.

Dang- I may have to make a phone call and find out if they're still doing this.

What about construction loans? Will banks still let the homeowner contract it out? Ive heard conflicting stories if a licensed contractor was a must or not.

In my limited experience, it all depends on the bank / lending institution. Some will and some won't.

I've heard both ways too
Also some neighborhoods won't allow you to self contract
