If you are planning on building a home, consider a First Federal Construction or Construction-Permanent Loan. With a Construction Loan, you are only charged interest on the funds as they are used.
With a Construction-Permanent Loan, you receive two loans for the price of one. During the construction phase, interest payments will be made monthly. At the end of the construction phase, you’ll already have your long-term financing in place.
