Q: How can you finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:</p><ul><li><p><b>Construction-to-Permanent Loan:</b> This is a common option where a single loan covers the building costs and then converts into a traditional mortgage once construction is complete and you move in.</p></li><li><p><b>Construction Loan (Stand-Alone):</b> This type of loan provides funding only for the duration of the construction project. Once the house is built, you will need to pay the loan in full, typically by securing a separate, standard mortgage.</p></li><li><p><b>Builder Financing:</b> Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.</p></li><li><p><b>Bridge Loan:</b> This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.</p></li><li><p><b>Home Equity Options:</b> If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.</p></li></ul><p>It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.</p></div>

Q: Can I build an in-law suite in my backyard?

• <div><p>In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a custom home and a spec home?

• <div><p>A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-build-custom-home.htm">Custom homes cost</a> more and take longer to build.</p></div>

Q: Can an ADU be bigger than your house?

• <div><p>Local regulations dictate how big an ADU can be, and there may also be restrictions on the percentage of the main residence&rsquo;s square footage an ADU can have. In most cases, an ADU must be smaller than the main residence, but check with your local building authority to confirm restrictions on ADU size.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a carriage house and a townhouse?

• <div><p>A carriage house is a freestanding building, while a townhouse is connected to other units. A townhouse is a full single-family home and typically shares a parcel of land with other connected homes. A carriage house is rarely used as the sole single-family home on a property and is most often an additional building sharing property with a traditional single-family home. </p></div>

Yes, you can finance new construction, though the process often requires a different type of loan than one for an existing property. There are several financing options available:

Builder Financing: Some custom homebuilders offer their own financing options, which may only require a down payment to begin the building process.
Bridge Loan: This can be a useful short-term loan to fund your new construction while you are in the process of selling your old home.
Home Equity Options: If you are building a second home, you might be able to use a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance on your current property.

It's also important to be aware that some lenders may have restrictions on financing for DIY house builds, so be sure to verify that you can secure financing before starting your project.
