Build
Building a new home can be more exciting and challenging than finding an existing home to purchase.The financing works a little differently, too. But when it’s done, you’ll have the home of your dreams.
Single Closing – The process of financing the construction of your new home has two phases – construction and mortgage. At The Merrimack, you can secure the loan with one convenient closing. While your house is being built, you pay only interest on construction costs as they are drawn to build during the construction phase. And when the construction term is complete, the loan switches to a traditional principal and interest loan with the same rate and term you originally closed on.
