One Loan, Not Two
Some lenders offer a construction loan upfront then require a mortgage after the home is built, forcing the home buyer to incur the cost of two closings. Marquette requires just one closing for the construction phase and permanent financing. Click the video link to hear how to avoid mistakes when financing your home construction .
