What is a Construction Loans?

A construction loan is a short-term loan that funds the building of a new home. Unlike a traditional mortgage, funds are disbursed in draws (stages) as construction milestones are completed. Once construction is complete, the loan either converts to a permanent mortgage (construction-to-permanent) or is paid off with a new permanent mortgage (construction-only). KLE Mortgage specializes in construction-to-permanent financing, which means a single closing, reducing costs and complexity.
