Financing FAQ
Clear answers for your next move
Financing a new home can introduce unfamiliar decisions. These answers offer a useful starting point before you speak with a lending professional.
Lenders typically look at credit history, income documentation, a down payment, and the full construction plan: budget, builder contract, and timeline. Working with an established builder simplifies this step, because the lender receives a complete, documented project from day one.
One loan covers the build and then converts into a standard mortgage when the home is complete. You close once, lock terms once, and draw funds in stages as construction progresses. It is the most common path for custom home clients, and it applies equally to our available homes already under construction.
Yes. VA home loan programs and FHA construction options exist, with their own eligibility rules and limits. Our lending partners work with veterans and first time buyers regularly and can confirm what fits your situation. LDH also offers dedicated incentives for veterans and first responders.
No. Land can be part of the same financing conversation. If you already own your homesite, its value can often count toward the project. If you are still looking, we help you evaluate land across Southwest Florida and financing together, so neither decision gets ahead of the other.
