The Signorino family came to us like many of our clients. They had heard we built great homes from a personal reference.

Nearly every home starts by looking at 3 parameters: Size, Features and Budget. This is important because it helps us to determine the feasibility of the project. Immediately we knew we could help out when we looked at the plans and discussed the Signorino's goals.

After suggesting a few edits to the plans to keep them within budget and provide a little flexibility for the budget they wanted to keep, we were ready to seek financing.

We typically suggest beginning the financing process during the bidding process as they take roughly the same amount of time.

IMPORTANT LOAN CONSIDERATIONS

Your budget is the foundation for every other decision you will make while preparing to build a home because it provides context for what is possible. Most people attempt to answer the question of “What is my budget?” by simply deciding how much they would be comfortable spending. Unfortunately, while this is a crucial part of the process, it ignores the rest of the picture. We advise our clients to answer the following questions in the order below. However, if you are self-financing the project, skip to question #3.

1. How much will a financial institution lend me?

This sets what we refer to as your Maximum Loan Amount.

2. What type of loan will I need?

This is where many people get confused because if you ask the wrong questions when interviewing lenders, you’ll get vastly different answers. We recommend reviewing the information in this article on the loan type you will need before meeting with your lending candidates.

3. How much am I willing to spend?

Just because a lender is will to lend up to your Maximum Loan Amount, this does not mean you will be willing to borrow and spend that amount. Consider the monthly payments as a starting point and adjust your Budget amount from there. Your chosen lender can help you with this.

4. What can I reasonably expect to build for what I am willing to spend?

This answer will come from a qualified builder during your preliminary meeting. Be prepared to discuss your budget so that the builder can help you get a better idea of what size home to design to meet your goals.
