Private construction mortgage
If you won’t qualify for a bank mortgage, or the circumstance won’t make sense to get a bank mortgage, for example if there is a large penalty to break your current 1st mortgage, then a private mortgage from a private lender is an option. A private lender can go in 2nd position therefore there may be no need to break your mortgage. Terms are more flexible then the banks, mainly they won’t require the same income confirmation that the bank requires. Indeed private money is more expensive, but construction is a short process usually, so the plan is always to refinance once the home is complete and pay off the private lender. Therefore in most situations a private loan is needed for no longer then 6-18 months. In addition, the private lender can capitalize the interest payments into the loan .
