        "text": "Financing ground-up construction typically requires a construction loan rather than a standard mortgage. A construction loan is a short-term, interest-only loan that provides funds in draws as different stages of the build are completed and inspected. Once construction is finished, the construction loan is usually converted into a permanent mortgage or refinanced into a traditional home loan. Lenders will assess your financial stability, the project plans, and the contractor's reputation before approving a construction loan.",
