What is a VA Construction Loan?

 A VA construction loan allows eligible veterans to finance the construction of a new home, including purchasing land if needed. It’s a One-Time Close (OTC) loan, meaning it combines the construction financing and permanent mortgage into a single transaction.

  • No second closing is required; everything is done upfront.
  • No mortgage payments during the construction period.
  • The loan is locked at the start with no need for a second appraisal after construction.
  • Extended lock periods up to 360 days with rate float-down options.
  • Construction loans are serviced in-house, ensuring a smooth process.
  • Soft costs and interest reserves are included in the loan.
  •  Contingency funds (minimum 2%) are built into the loan to cover unexpected expenses.

 

VA construction loans can be used for:

  • Site-built, single-family detached homes.
  • Modular homes, log homes, and barndominiums.
  • Manufactured homes (multi-width only; single-width- requires an exception).
  • Homes with accessory dwelling units (ADUs) built simultaneously with the primary residence.

     

Ineligible properties include container homes.
