When building a home, your builder will typically have you secure a Construction Draw Loan to access funds throughout the project. Mercantile Bank simplifies this with a One-Time Close Construction Loan, so you only need to close once.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Construction-to-Permanent Loan?
A single-close loan that finances both the construction and the long-term mortgage of your home.
How it works: Interest-only payments during construction, then converts to a traditional mortgage with principal and interest payments.
Key Benefit: No need for a second closing, saving time and money.
-
Can I act as my own builder/general contractor?
Allowed in some cases with specific approval. You must be a licensed contractor with experience.
-
What happens if construction costs exceed the original budget?
You'll need to cover the difference with personal funds. Prevent overruns by creating a detailed budget and maintaining a contingency fund. Consult your Mortgage Loan officer for significant coverages.
