California One Time Close Home Mortgages

One-time close construction loans in California, also known as “construction-to-permanent” loans, offer a convenient and streamlined way to finance the construction of a new home. By combining both the construction loan and permanent mortgage into a single package, borrowers can simplify the entire process. The One-Time Close Construction Loan features a single closing date and interest rate. Borrowers may find this type of loan an affordable alternative because they only need to pay for one closing and may lock in their permanent interest rate. Obtaining a One-Time Close Construction Loan entails numerous procedures, including loan approval by the lender, builder registration, delivering documentation, and drafting drawings and specifications.

California One Time Close Construction Loan Benefits

  • Single Loan Application and Approval: Borrowers only need to go through the application and approval process once, saving time, cost and reducing paperwork.
  • Minimum down payments or Zero Down Depending on loan program used.
  • Fixed Interest Rates: One-time close loans offer fixed rates during both the construction phase and for the permanent mortgage, providing borrowers with stability and predictable payments.
  • A single appraisal valuation eliminates the possibility of appraisal surprises because just one evaluation is necessary for the loan.
  • One Closing: Instead of two closings—one for the construction loan and another for the permanent mortgage—only one closing is required, saving time and money.
  • No Payments During Construction: Borrowers can choose to not make payments, provided they incorporate an interest reserve.
  • Converts to a Traditional Mortgage: Once construction is complete, the loan transitions into a standard mortgage, and borrowers start making principal and interest payments.
  • Ease of funding: The One-Time Close Construction Loan simplifies the financing of a new house.

Additionally, the contractor or builder must be licensed, insured, and experienced in similar projects. Detailed project plans, contracts, and cost estimates are also required before loan approval.
