Hi Everyone, my family has some land that I want to develop. I have started the process by reaching out to lenders. There is not much I could find about new construction loans, especially if you already own the land. I am thinking of getting a FHA construction loan but have read that those are rare. Any advice on a good way to finance the construction? I do have cash on hand, but not enough to pay for the whole home.
Would also love to know anything I should watch out for when selecting a home builder...I helped my parents buy a home before, but I know the due diligence process is slightly different and there are inherent risks with a new build. For example...when should I hire an inspector to perform QA checks on the construction? Again I am not sure how it works when it is a completely new construction. Does the lawyer hold the money from the bank in escrow and distribute the funds as an inspector gives the go ahead for the next phase of construction? Those builders have their tricks and have been doing it for a long time than I have been reading forum posts...
