At Bay to Bay Lending LLC, we understand that turning your dream home into a reality often requires more than just finding the perfect property. Construction permanent financing mortgages offer a powerful solution for building the home of your dreams. Let’s explore the unique benefits, considerations, and qualifications of these versatile mortgage options.
What is Construction Permanent Financing?
Construction permanent financing, also known as a “construction-to-permanent loan,” combines the benefits of a construction loan and a traditional mortgage into a single package. It allows you to finance both the construction phase and the permanent financing of your new home with one loan, streamlining the process and offering several distinct advantages.
The Pros of Construction Permanent Financing Mortgages
One-Time Close: With this type of loan, you close on your loan just once, saving time and reducing paperwork.
Flexible Terms: Enjoy a wide range of terms to suit your specific financial needs, including fixed or adjustable rates.
Interest-Only Payments: During the construction phase, you can make interest-only payments, conserving your budget.
Lower Down Payment: Construction permanent loans often have lower down payment requirements compared to traditional construction loans.
The Cons of Construction Permanent Financing Mortgages
Approval Process: The builder and the project must meet certain criteria, which can add additional steps to the loan approval process.
Higher Costs and Rates: Construction permanent financing mortgages may come with slightly higher costs and interest rates due to the added complexity of the loan structure.
The Builder/Project Approval Process
The builder and project approval process is a crucial step in obtaining a construction permanent loan. This process typically involves the following:
Builder Qualifications: The builder must meet specific qualifications, including experience, financial stability, and a proven track record of successful construction projects.
Project Plans and Budget: The lender will review detailed project plans, specifications, and a budget to ensure they align with your loan amount.
Inspections: The lender may conduct periodic inspections to verify the progress of the construction and ensure it aligns with the approved plans.
Qualifications for Construction Permanent Financing Mortgages
Construction permanent loans are often considered a choice for elite borrowers due to their stringent qualifications. To be eligible, you typically need to meet the following criteria:
Higher Reserves: You may be required to have a significant amount of savings or reserves to cover unexpected costs during construction.
Lower Debt-to-Income (DTI): Your DTI ratio is generally expected to be lower than for traditional mortgages.
Higher Credit Scores: Lenders often require a higher credit score compared to traditional mortgage loans.

Working with Sergio was amazing! He was eager to help from just starting the process and getting a pre approval all the way through the day we closed on our house. I would highly recommend Sergio to anyone who needs a loan. He blew my expectations … More out of the water and truly went above and beyond!

When I first started looking for financing options, I was overwhelmed by the choices and uncertain about who I could actually trust with something as important as my investments. After working with DJ Rondeau and his team (Jessica is a … More rockstar) at Bay to Bay Lending across multiple closings, I can honestly say I've found a lending partner for life.
What sets DJ apart isn't just his expertise (which is considerable) - it's his unwavering commitment to finding solutions when others would have given up. I've brought him completely different investment types, from standard residential properties to more complex commercial opportunities, and each time he's navigated the process with remarkable skill.
What truly impressed me were the numerous "curve balls" that inevitably came our way - unexpected appraisal issues, last-minute documentation challenges, and tight deadlines that seemed impossible to meet. Through every obstacle, DJ maintained his calm professionalism while working tirelessly behind the scenes to make things happen.
I remember one particularly stressful closing where I was convinced we would lose the deal. DJ called me personally at 8:30 PM (over the weekend) to walk through the options he'd developed, reassuring me that he wouldn't stop until we found a path forward. Sure enough, we closed successfully.
If you're hesitating about who to trust with your financing needs, I understand that uncertainty completely. The lending world can be confusing and intimidating. What I can tell you from my experience is that with DJ, you're not just getting a lender – you're getting a strategic partner who genuinely cares about your success and will go above and beyond to achieve it.
Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or an experienced investor, DJ and his team at Bay to Bay have the expertise, creativity, and determination to make your goals a reality. I couldn't recommend them more highly. -
DJ was amazing, was extremely timely, worked hard to get us the best loan and terms for us and communicated with my realtor as well. Most impressive was the amount of time he would spend to answer all our questions and ensure we understood … More everything going on with our loan. Available immediately every time. Highly recommend!

The mortgage process is no walk in the park—it’s more like going to war. But if I had to go to war, I’d take DJ with me. As an entrepreneur, I’ve done all kinds of transactions, and I have to say, even when everything came against us, DJ … More and his team fought hard for the win and got the job done. Hands down one of the most dedicated and hardworking teams I’ve ever worked with. Highly recommend!
