Do I need a construction loan to build a new home?

No. With Allen Edwin Homes, you do not need a separate construction loan to build a new home. Unlike builders that require a construction loan, Allen Edwin Homes makes the home buying process feel more like buying an existing home, without requiring construction loan payments before construction begins.

 Here is how financing can work:

•  Start with prequalification to understand budget, estimated monthly payment, cash needed to close, and available loan programs
•  Allen Edwin Homes builds the home, so you are not required to secure a separate construction loan before construction begins
•  Allen Edwin Homes is not a lender, but we work with trusted preferred lender partners who understand new construction timelines, builder programs, rate lock options, and closing milestones
•  Depending on qualifications and property eligibility, financing options may include conventional, FHA, VA, USDA Rural Development, or other available programs
•  Final underwriting and closing are completed as the home nears completion
