Construction Mortgage

Wolverine Construction Mortgage

Wolverine State Credit Union is pleased to offer a single-close construction loan product to help you finance the building of a new home or renovations to your current home.

A single-close construction loan covers the financing for the construction phase and includes the long-term financing after the construction phase is complete, all in one transaction. Meaning, this type of loan only has one closing, one set of closing costs, and the loan terms including the interest rate remain the same throughout the life of the loan.
