What Is a Construction Loan?

A VA loan is a government-backed mortgage guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It helps eligible military borrowers buy, build, or refinance a home with no money down, no private mortgage insurance, and competitive interest rates.

Construction Loans FAQs 

Q: Do I need a builder lined up first?
Yes. Most lenders require a licensed contractor or builder before approval.

Q: How is the money disbursed?
Funds are released in "draws" as each construction phase is completed.

Q: Can I roll it into a regular mortgage?
Yes! A construction-to-perm loan converts automatically once the home is finished.
