land loans

Acreage purchase credit

Land loans are financing arrangements for purchasing undeveloped property, as distinct from mortgages for homes or commercial buildings.

Because raw land generates no income and carries more risk for lenders, land loans typically require larger down payments and carry higher interest rates than conventional mortgages: We secured a land loan to buy the acreage, then applied for a construction loan once we had building plans.
