Yes you want a construction loan and one that can be converted to a permanent loan. Why? During the construction process the builder is entitled to a draw (of money) at predetermined stages. Also, with a construction loan you only pay interest on the money that is drawn. When the home is completed you then need a permanent loan.

yes that is what you want. You will need insurance and during the construction phase you pay the interest only on the money. One a C/O is given you must obtain permanent financing or start out with a construction to perm loan from the get go
