Question 1

How does a construction loan work in Apple Valley?

Accepted Answer

Funds release in stages as your build hits milestones. You pay interest only during construction, then the loan converts or you refinance.

Question 2

Do I need to own the land before applying?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Some lenders roll the lot purchase into the construction loan. Others require you to own the land free and clear first.

Question 3

What credit score do I need for a construction loan?

Accepted Answer

Most lenders start at 680. Aiming for 720 or higher gives you access to better rates and more program choices.

Question 4

Can I use a construction loan to renovate an existing home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Major renovation loans work similarly to new construction financing. The scope of work must be significant to qualify.

Question 5

How long does a construction loan term last?

Accepted Answer

Typically 12 months. Some lenders offer up to 18 months for larger builds. San Bernardino County permit delays can eat into that time.
