Our Construction & Land Lot Loans

Building your dream home is an exciting endeavor. At Midland States Bank, we provide loans to make financing those dreams easy and stress-free.

Construction Loans

A construction loan is a short-term loan you can use to finance the construction of a new home. During construction, you can make interest-only payments at a fixed rate. Once construction is complete, you can convert the loan to a permanent mortgage.

Land Lot Loans

If you want to purchase land to build a home, a lot loan is the perfect solution. A lot loan allows you to purchase property before you begin construction.

How do construction loans work?

Once you get approved for a construction loan, we disperse the loan amount in increments according to our agreed-upon schedule, known as a draw schedule. You then make interest-only payments on the part of the loan that has been dispersed. Once construction is complete, we can close on permanent financing. You can lock in your rate six months prior to closing.

What qualifies as a lot?

A lot is land suitable for residential development. It should have features like appropriate zoning, access to public roads and utility connections.
