A pre-approval letter is also a great tool as it shows buyers you are serious, and also confirms with your lender how much you can afford. Reach out to one of our lenders to start the process of a pre-approval letter. It’s easy and quick and is a great first step to your house-hunting process.

I am building a home. What are my mortgage options?

If you’re building a home, the mortgage process may look a little different than buying a home that is complete. Construction loans can help you finance land, materials, even labor so you can fund your home-build. The State Bank provides a one-time close construction loan that provides interest only payments for 12 months and then the loan converts automatically to principal and interest payments for the remaining term of the loan.  There is no need to refinance once construction of your new home is complete.

The State Bank also provides Vacant Land financing for borrowers that want to purchase their land prior to starting construction on their new home.

The right construction loan for you depends on many things including your budget, timeline and your plans for the home once it’s complete. As with all of our mortgage services, we’re here to help you find the perfect solution. Reach out to a lender to chat more about your construction loan options.
