United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) announced that it will be offering one-time close new construction loans, offering a single closing and a single interest rate with automatic modification if the market improves once construction is complete. UWM also will facilitate communication with the builder and will provide checklists for the project and builder approvals, enabling all parties to communicate throughout the entire approval process. In addition, once the loan is closed, UWM will stay in direct communication with the builder on subsequent draws, as well as subsequent inspections to confirm the project is on pace. These one-time close construction loans are available through conventional products, including adjustable-rate and high-balance loans.
