How Does it Work?

  • Borrower applies for pre-qualification for a construction-to-permanent loan
  • Borrower identifies desired homesite and, if applicable, writes a sales contract to purchase the land
  • Borrower writes a purchase agreement with Red Door Homes for their new Dream home (this can be done prior to identifying a homesite)
  • A full loan application is made with a complete set of required documentation
  • An appraisal is ordered
  • Loan approval is issued and the construction loan closing is scheduled
  • Borrower closes on the construction loan and the land if applicable
  • Construction begins and funds on the construction loan are disbursed per the pre-determined draw schedule
  • Construction is completed and the permanent loan refinances theconstruction loan
  • Borrower moves in!

The Do's and Don'ts During Construction

  • DO save as much money as possible
  • DO try to earn as much money as possible
  • DO keep your credit history impeccable as it will affect your permanent loan interest rate
  • DO pay your rent on time and keep all your credit accounts current
  • DO pay for PERSONAL CHOICES over and above your loan amount out of pocket, as there is no guarantee we can increase your permanant loan amount.
  • DON'T quit your job while your home is being built unless your new job pays more money
  • DON'T buy new furniture, cars or appliances
  • DON'T move money from one account to another or consolidate or open new credit accounts
  • DON'T retire or pay off other loans or credit accounts without consulting your lender
  • DON'T get behind on your payments as this could affect your permanent loan

Thank you for checking in! Everything went well with our meeting with Jennifer. She was very professional, cordial, and attended to all of our questions. She was also kid friendly which was a plus since our three year old daughter tagged along! Thank you for checking in! Everything went well with our meeting with Jennifer.

Red Door (Page, Tom, Patrick, and the rest of the crew) were nothing less than wonderful through our whole experience. We lost our old house on 1/25/13 (fire) and were simply dreading the process of demolition and re-building. Red Door took our worries and fears upon themselves personally, and turned a dreaded situation into the blessing of having a new custom-built home. They handled EVERYTHING...from the very first bit of demolition to the day we did the walk-through...and gave us a beautiful, stick-built home at a square-foot price(and with a 10 year structural warranty) that nobody (including the modular manufacturers) could touch. Good product, great people! Red Door (Page, Tom, Patrick, and the rest of the crew) were nothing less than wonderful through our whole experience.
