How much do I need to put down to build a home?

Waterstone Mortgage's Single Loan Close Construction Program requires as little as 5% down, which can come from your equity if the lot is owned.

Do I need separate loans for my lot, construction, and mortgage?

No! One loan can cover the entire construction process, from the purchase of your land to your permanent mortgage and everything in between.

How long does the home building process take?

The building process for a personalized production home usually takes between six and seven months to reach completion; however, it can sometimes take more than seven months, depending on your location, the weather, construction supply delays, and any requested customer design changes that are implemented along the way.
