What Is a Personal Construction Loan?
Construction loans are taken out to cover the expenses of a home building project. These types of loans differ from a home mortgage loan, as you are financing just the costs for materials, labor and anything else that goes into building a home from the ground up. Once your building project is complete, you are expected to take out a home mortgage to pay for the all-new structure.
Taking out a personal construction loan gives you the flexibility to design a new home exactly how you like. Whether there is a specific roofing material you want or professionals have to excavate land prior to building, you can get funding to make your blueprints a reality.
Our experts work with customers in central, northern and southern Ohio as well as central and western Pennsylvania for personal construction loan services. Tell us more about the location of your project, and we'll do our best to help you organize a loan that makes your building project possible.

- Financing is available up to 95% loan-to-value based on conventional loan amounts. Your
loan-to-value is calculated by dividing the loan balance by the value of your property. - Jumbo products are available.
