Do not send lender documents to Keystone as these should be provided to your lender directly. 

In order to build on your own land with Keystone, you will need to gain approval for a Construction loan that you will eventually turn into a Permanent loan or you can opt for a Construction to Permanent loan, where all is processed at one time with one loan closing.

From loan closing to construction completion, you will be responsible for making interest only payments. Once construction is complete, you will begin paying principal and interest loan payments.  Depending on your loan type, sometimes your home insurance, mortgage insurance premium and property taxes are included in your payment.

Keystone does not require a deposit but your lender may. Your lender may require cash or allow you to use the equity you have in your land instead, but the requirements may vary from lender to lender. Contact a lender for more information.

When a construction loan is converting to a permanent loan, there are no standard closing costs but rather a modification of the construction loan to the permanent loan. The only additional loan costs you are responsible for are the funds you will need to set up escrows for your taxes and insurance.

There is no private mortgage insurance (PMI) when setting up the Construction to Permanent loan, however, there may be at the end, if you are not at 80% loan to value ratio. Keep in mind, there are options up to 95% without PMI.

Loan to value ratio is a term often used by lenders that refers to the ratio of a loan to the value of the asset purchased. In this case, the asset purchased is your home and loan.

Assuming you are within our build range and you are eligible for Build On Your Land, your price may vary by location because of jurisdictional code variations and requirements.

Draws are advances on your construction loan to pay the contractor.

Typically, there are 4-6 "draws" throughout the construction of your new home.

Mortgage rate lock float down is a mortgage rate lock that has the option to reduce the interest rate if the market interest rate drops during the lock period. This allows the borrower to take advantage of better interest rates while the mortgage application is still processing.

Yes, you can opt to use a standard VA loan offered by most lenders, with 20% down, or you can choose to use 1^stSignature lending for 0% down and finance 100% of your purchase.
