FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I buy property and start the construction process at the same time?
The property where the construction is taking place must be in the member’s name for at least one month before starting a Construction Loan. If financing is needed, we suggest a Vacant Land Loan to first get the property in your name. Following this time period you may apply for a Construction to Permanent loan.
-
Will the Construction Loan convert to a Mortgage automatically?
Yes. Upon completion we will ensure that your loan is then converted to a 15 or 30-year mortgage.
-
How long is the Construction Loan for?
The term for the construction phase is up to 1 year.
-
Does the mortgage rate get locked in at the beginning of construction, or when construction is finished?
One of the benefits of our Construction to Permanent Loan is you can lock in your mortgage rate at the beginning of the construction process.
-
What does the process look like if I wanted to proceed with a Construction Loan and what kind of documents do I need to submit?
You may visit your nearest HFS office and request a packet or download the documents here. The packet contains the information and documents you’ll need to get started. If you have further questions, please call the Credit Union at (808) 930-1400 or set an appointment with a Loan Officer.
