Frequently Asked Questions

How are land loans different from mortgages?
Land loans typically have higher interest rates (1-3% more), shorter terms (5-20 years vs 30), and require larger down payments (20-50%) because undeveloped land is considered higher risk by lenders.
What types of land loans exist?
Raw land loans (no utilities/roads, hardest to get), unimproved land loans (some infrastructure), and improved lot loans (utilities available, easiest to finance). Each has different requirements.
Can I use a land loan to build?
A land loan only covers the purchase. To build, you would need a separate construction loan or a land-and-construction combo loan that covers both the purchase and building costs.
