Taxes and Insurance Borrower is responsible for payment of taxes and insurance during the construction period. If LTV is greater than 80%, an escrow account must be established for property taxes and all insurances, when construction is complete and the loan is modified to permanent terms.
Program Details DFCU Financial offers a one-time close construction loan. During the closing of your construction loan you will sign an addendum to the note and mortgage that will modify the construction loan to your permanent financing. This will save you time and money; no additional closing costs or time off work for an additional signing. You will be able to lock in your interest rate at the time of application; the rate must be locked in at 14 days prior to closing. After your construction loan has been approved, you should not apply for any new or additional credit. You must agree not to do anything that could change your debt to income ratio or lower your credit score. DFCU Financial will run a credit report prior to modification of your construction loan. During construction you will only pay interest on funds that have been disbursed. If you would like an escrow account for the payment of taxes and insurance, that will be set up once construction is complete.

DFCU Financial requires a licensed builder or general contractor that is unrelated to the borrower; no self-build projects are allowed. The borrower is not allowed to do any of the construction on the home. Your builder or general contractor will be required to go through a review and registration process with DFCU Financial.

A copy of the signed contract with complete design plans and specs are required before an appraisal will be ordered. All changes made to the contract or design after the mortgage is closed must be approved by DFCU Financial in writing. Borrowers should keep in mind that DFCU Financial has approved them up to a certain loan amount and if change orders are needed, additional funds are the responsibility of the borrowers. The loan amount cannot change after the mortgage is closed.
