In D.C., construction loans usually mean a teardown or a major rebuild on an existing lot. Teardowns are eligible on this program.
I'm licensed in District of Columbia, and I work with buyers building in rebuilds and new homes on existing city lots.
How it works in District of Columbia
It's one loan, with one closing. You close before the build starts and make interest-only payments while the house goes up. When it's finished, the loan converts to your permanent mortgage. There's no second closing.
My team runs the draws in-house. As each stage is finished and inspected, the draw is paid directly to your general contractor, and you and your builder deal with the same people the whole way.
What's eligible
- Primary homes, second homes and investment properties
- Land you already own can count toward the build
- Teardowns and rebuilds
- Assets can be used as income (full documentation loan)
- Modular homes are not eligible
