Financing for Under Construction Properties

Under-Construction Properties

What is Financing for Under-Construction Properties?

Under-construction property financing is a form of loan taken for a property that is under construction but not yet complete. Most homebuyers, investors, and developers do this to raise funds for the project still in the construction process. Such financing can involve many of the stages of construction, all the way from the initial purchase of land or property to funding construction costs. This would provide purchasers and investors with a payment-spreading option so that one can manage the investment until the property is finished and ready for occupancy or renting purposes.
