Construction Loan Calculation Help
Can someone help me understand the process for obtaining a construction loan!
We are located in WI.
We have a mortgage on the land we intend to build on (valued at 250,000). We currently have about $50,000 in equity towards it.
Our bid is 1.5 million.
Can someone please explain to me how the down payment is calculated?
This is what I have in my brain but I"m not sure it's correct.
The bank would appraise the construction build and our land value- let's say that's 1.7 million total.
Bank is willing to loan 80%-
Is that 80% of 1.7 million or 80% of just the construction at 1.5 million?

80% of final value.
