WHERE TO FIND FINANCING FOR AN ARIZONA SPEC HOME

Many people are not familiar with the term, “spec loan.” A Spec loan is a term used for a loan on a speculative property; meaning it the end game is unpredictable. A speculative property is one that the developer has not sold. And, because the sale has not been finalized, the loan itself is only speculative. Financing a spec home is a process, and it’s a little different than a conventional home loan.
Traditional banks are not quick to approve financing for an Arizona spec home. It is a risk for a lender because it is essentially a loan for a construction project without a committed buyer; and that flags risk to the banks. You’ll work with a mortgage lender when building an Arizona spec home. However, the builder will need the financing from mortgage lenders to purchase the needed materials and pay the construction crews. To prove to the lenders that your income is sufficient to pay back the construction loan. The borrower is expected to have enough funds to pay for the monthly payments on the loan, holding costs, insurance and taxes.
You will also need to write a marketing plan because this loan is to build something that will make a profit in the future. The point of this plan will describe how high you will price your completed home. Remember, a Arizona spec home is a home that hasn’t been built yet.This marketing plan will show who your target buyers will be and how you will inform potential buyers of this home being on the market. One idea would be to hire a realtor to promote your investment.
