Ground-Up Construction Loans
MMTC has a long history in construction financing for both single-family and multi-unit construction projects. Typical neighborhoods for this type of loan are strong infill areas in established geographies. After meeting qualifications, MMTC will consider funding these loans up to 80% of cost. In many cases, the projects are built on a spec-basis and no pre-sale contract is required for funding.
We finance various scenarios. For example:
- Construction loan when lot is already owned:Â If you have already purchased the lot and own it free and clear with no mortgage against it, MMTC will typically be able to lend you 100% of the hard construction costs and some soft costs such as plans, architect fees, and permits.
- Quick acquisition to purchase lot, then opportunity to refinance into construction loan once plans are in place: If you are buying a lot or lot with a house that will be scraped and need a quick close, but don’t yet have your construction plans a budget in place, MMTC is able to provide interim financing for the initial acquisition. Typically in this case, you will put 20% – 25% down on the lot acquisition price. Then, when you have your plans and are close to having permits, we will refinance the acquisition loan into the construction loan up to 80% of the cost of construction.Â
- Refinance existing property loan into construction loan:Â If you have already purchased the lot, but have a loan against it, MMTC can refinance the lot loan into our construction loan; applicable loan-to-cost and loan-to-value ratios will apply.
