Construction Loan FAQ — Kansas

What's the difference between single-close and two-close construction loans in Kansas?
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: one closing, one set of closing costs, one appraisal. For Kansas builders that also removes the risk of rate changes or re-qualification between phases.
What's the minimum project size for a construction loan in Kansas?
The minimum project size is $100K. This applies to both new construction and renovation-to-permanent projects in Kansas. 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 Kansas?
Yes. If you're doing a gut renovation or major structural work on a Kansas 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 Kansas 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 Kansas?
Yes. Physicians building custom homes in Kansas 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 Kansas construction loan?
Yes. If you haven't purchased your Kansas 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 Kansas 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.
