Land Loan

A land loan is a financial product used to purchase land for the purpose of building a home or other structure.

What Is A Land Loan?

A land loan is a specific type of mortgage that is used to finance the purchase of a piece of raw land with no improvements on it. These loans are typically used by individuals or companies that are looking to build a new home or develop the land in some way. Land loans typically have a higher interest rate and require a larger down payment than traditional mortgages, as the lender is taking on more risk due to the lack of a physical structure on the property. These loans typically have a shorter repayment period and may require the borrower to begin making payments on the loan before construction on the property is complete.
