Construction Loan FAQ — Oklahoma

What's the difference between single-close and two-close construction loans in Oklahoma?
A two-close loan requires separate closings (and separate fees) for the construction phase and permanent mortgage. Sean's single-close program combines both into one loan — saving Oklahoma builders $5-15K in duplicate closing costs and eliminating the risk of rate changes or re-qualification between phases.
What's the minimum project size for a construction loan in Oklahoma?
The minimum project size is $100K. This applies to both new construction and renovation-to-permanent projects in Oklahoma. There's no maximum — Sean regularly structures construction loans for custom builds well into the millions.
Can I do a renovation-to-permanent loan in Oklahoma?
Yes. If you're doing a gut renovation or major structural work on a Oklahoma property, renovation-to-permanent financing rolls your purchase (or refinance), renovation costs, and permanent mortgage into a single close.
How does the draw schedule work?
Funds are released to your Oklahoma builder at pre-agreed milestones (foundation, framing, mechanical, etc.). Sean coordinates inspections and approvals so draws are released promptly. You only pay interest on funds that have been drawn — not the full loan amount.
Can I combine a construction loan with a physician loan in Oklahoma?
Yes. Physicians building custom homes in Oklahoma can access construction-to-permanent financing with physician loan benefits including favorable DTI treatment for student loans. This is one of Sean's specialties.
Can I include lot purchase in my Oklahoma construction loan?
Yes. If you haven't purchased your Oklahoma lot yet, the single-close loan can include lot acquisition, construction costs, and your permanent mortgage — all in one loan with one closing. If you already own the lot, its equity counts toward your down payment.
What's the typical timeline from application to breaking ground?
Plan for 30-45 days from application to closing. You'll need approved plans, a licensed Oklahoma builder, and a detailed budget. Sean's team works in parallel with your builder to keep the timeline tight. The construction phase itself typically runs 12-18 months.
