Ground Up One-To-Four Unit Multi-Family Loans

Would you recommend to buy an existing home or a new construction home for your first home? Many so called experts I talk to say that I can save over 40% of the market value of a single family home if I built a single family home ground up. How difficult is it to get financing on building a new construction home?

What are the requirements for a small home builder to get qualified for ground up one-to-four unit new construction homes. How do you qualify, how do you get pre-approved, what are the guidelines, and what is the mortgage process on ground up one-to-four unit new construction homes?

My client would like to get financing for the following scenario:

• Client that owns property outright and is hoping to
  build an apartment building(s) on this property
• Client
  wishes to finance 100% of the buildout
• The
  property is in Texas
• Value
  of Land $250K
• Estimated
  construction cost $600K
• Credit
  score estimated at 700
• What other parameters must be considered? Reserves, LTV, etc.? Could this qualify via DSCR?
