Financing Your New Home Through Our Owner-Builder Program. 

Financing is the foundation of the owner-builder plan. That's why we're providing this special section that spells out the "nuts and bolts" of the financing plans available. Please read it carefully. 

A Review of How Owner-Builder Programs Make Home Ownership Possible for You Right Now 

  • Without a large down payment or a perfect credit history, our lenders can finance the construction of your new home and your land purchase. 
  • You keep construction costs low by acting as project manager and doing some of the work yourself. 
  • Our owner-builder program provides you with construction support throughout the process. Because of this, your finished home can be worth more on the market than it cost you to build it. The difference between what you spent and what the home is worth is "equity". 
  • Equity can take the place of a large down payment, and then you can obtain permanent financing -- a mortgage -- from a bank or other lending institution. 
  • You use the money the bank loans you to pay back the money you borrowed on your construction loan. 

Financing Your Land 

  • Getting a loan to buy land isn't easy. In fact, many lending institutions won't loan money for land at all. 
  • Those that do, often require a down payment equal to half the land's value. That's money you could use to build your home! 
  • As part of our owner-builder program, buyers are not required to put any money down to buy or pay off their land. 
  • Our unique approach of offering a combination package of land and construction financing is what will make home ownership possible for you. 

The Main Advantages of Owner-Builder Financing: 
Financing Basics 

We make it easy and convenient for you to pay for land, materials and labor for your new home. Once you qualify as part of our program, we can offer: 

  • 100 percent financing on your land. 
  • 100 percent financing on materials. 
  • 100 percent financing on labor to build your new home. 
  • 100 percent for closing costs, permits & fees. 
  • Permanent financing*
Most conventional lenders require 5% - 20% down on full purchase price. 
  • Example -- A $200,000 home: 20% = $40,000 down payment 
  • Example, our owner-builder program -- $200,000: $0 down payment* 

 *Permanent financing available upon completion of your home, by various lenders. 

Financing the Construction of Your Home 

Our construction financing program offers you these advantages: 

  • Plenty of time to build your home 
  • The funds you need to finance your land, materials and labor 

Permanent Financing 

  • You've worked hard to build your new home. You've saved thousands of dollars by acting as the on-site project manager, eliminating the expense of the general contractor. Now you have equity in your completed home, equity for a down payment to obtain permanent financing. 
  • You'll need a mortgage when your home is completed. 
  • Our lenders want your mortgage business and can make a permanent mortgage available to you. But you also have the option of going to another lender. 
  • We can offer you confidence, because once you've been accepted for a permanent mortgage with us, you'll start your new life on firm financial ground. 

BuildMax provides no guarantee of equity for any particular situation or for particular customers.
