Home Highlights

Available for new manufactured, modular homes, and 1-unit stick-built homes, the OTC program provides interim financing and administration for construction-to-permanent loans. We provide underwriting and approval of the permanent portion of the loan before the construction begins. The construction portion of the loan is also underwritten and approved and when all conditions for closing are cleared, the closing will occur, and construction can begin. Because the permanent loan is closed before construction begins, there is no “re-qualifying” the borrower. In addition, borrowers will not need to return to the settlement agent for a second closing once construction is complete.
