🏦 Why Get Pre-Approved or a Commitment Letter First?
You don’t need to find your perfect piece of land before getting started!
By securing a pre-approval, you’ll gain a clear understanding of your ideal budget, allowing you to shop with confidence and make informed decisions.
🏠Land Loan vs. Home Loan
A land loan works similarly to a home mortgage, requiring a good credit score, appraisal, and clear title.
💼 Show Sellers You’re a Serious Buyer
- A pre-approval letter is an official commitment from your lender that demonstrates you’re financially ready to close.
-  In today’s competitive real estate market for land, a commitment letter can set you apart from other buyers who haven’t yet taken this critical step.
- Getting pre-approved early helps streamline the process once you’ve found the right
property–saving you time, reducing stress, and improving your negotiating position - We perform a soft credit check — it doesn’t appear as an inquiry or affect your score.
📑 We make getting Pre-Approved simple. Just provide supporting documents such as:
- Bank statements.
- Monthly debt payment.
- Rent, divorce, or bankruptcy records.
- W-2 forms and Recent pay stubs.
- Tax returns.
🌄 Property Requirements
- The property cannot have a livable structure; its appraised value is based solely on the land.
- Both unimproved and improved land/lots can be financed.
- For residential use only — no business, large farm, or ranch use.
- Future building allowed with a one-time close construction loan.
The Land can have a building, but no value can be given to the building.
đź§ľ Other Important Information
- Self-employed applicants: 24 months of bank statements accepted
- Building on owned land: equity can count toward your down payment
⚖️ Bankruptcy History
- 100% Program: No bankruptcy within 10 years
- 95% Program: No bankruptcy within 4 years (exceptions possible)
đźšś Business, Farm, or Ranch Use
- These programs are strictly for residential purposes only. Hobby farms are permitted, but this is not a loan for income-producing properties.
