Build Your Dream Home with One-Time Close Construction Loans in Southeast Wisconsin

If you've been dreaming of building a custom home in Southeast Wisconsin - from Brookfield to Oak Creek to Milwaukee - Union Home Mortgage offers a unique loan option that simplifies the process: the One-Time Close Construction Loan.

This all-in-one financing solution combines the cost of construction and the mortgage into a single loan, meaning you only close once. That's right - no need to juggle two separate loans, two approvals, and two sets of closing costs. It's a streamlined process designed for buyers who want to build without the financial hassle.


🔨 What Is a One-Time Close Construction Loan?

A One-Time Close Construction Loan is a mortgage product that allows you to finance the lot, construction, and permanent mortgage all under a single loan. Unlike traditional construction loans that require a second closing after the home is built, this loan automatically converts to a permanent mortgage when construction is complete.

Key Benefits:

  • Interest-only payments during construction - Keeps monthly payments low while you build.
  • Single closing - You save on time, fees, and stress.
  • No need to requalify after construction - Secure your loan terms upfront.
  • Multiple loan types available - FHA, VA, USDA, and Conventional.
  • Perfect for primary residence builds in Wisconsin - We work with local builders and lots.

This loan is ideal for:

  • First-time homebuyers who want to build instead of buy resale
  • Veterans using VA construction options (Learn more about VA Loans)
  • USDA-eligible rural property buyers (USDA Loan Info)
  • FHA buyers looking for lower down payment options (FHA Guidelines)
  • Homeowners downsizing into a custom ranch or craftsman

🏘️ Why It Works in Southeast Wisconsin

The Milwaukee metro area - including Brookfield, Oak Creek, Milwaukee, Waukesha, and surrounding suburbs - is growing, but inventory is tight. More buyers are turning to new builds to get the layout, location, and energy efficiency they want.

Whether you already own a lot or are just starting the process, this loan gives you an edge in today's competitive market. Builders love it because it shows you're serious - and fully financed. You'll love it because you can lock in your rate and avoid second-guessing later.

👷‍♂️ How the Process Works:

  1. Pre-Approval: My team and I review your income, credit, and goals to determine your budget.
  2. Builder + Lot Selection: We help coordinate financing with your builder and ensure the lot qualifies.
  3. Loan Closing: We close on the full construction loan before the build begins.
  4. Construction Phase: You make interest-only payments while the home is being built.
  5. Conversion: Once construction is complete, the loan automatically converts to a fixed-rate mortgage.
