It’s true that getting a construction loan takes longer than the average home loan, and it can take quite a bit longer. However, we think that once you get approved you’ll find that the extra time and effort were worth it.

Here are just a few of the different types of construction loans you might be able to pursue.

• There is, of course, a traditional construction-only loan. This is really easy to understand. You get approval before construction starts, and then, once the house is built, you either pay the loan off or you get it refinanced. You’ll need to keep a couple of things in mind, though. The first is that you might have to qualify more than one time, such after each phase of the project is completed. The second is that you could wind up paying closing costs more than once.
• You could also go after a construction loan if you’re planning a major renovation, as mentioned earlier. The money for this kind of loan is usually paid out in stages, sort of like a construction-only program. For example, after the first part of your kitchen renovation is done, you’ll likely get a portion of the loan. The same holds true for the second phase and so on until the project is finished.
• There’s also a construction-to-permanent loan. This is one that you’ll usually combine with a regular home loan once the house is complete. These two loans could have different interest rates.
