Local builders' ranks thinned

07.08.11

Brian McCarthy, owner of McCarthy Builders Inc., has carved out a strong reputation since 1988 as local builder of villas and townhomes and a developer of popular subdivisions.

But his most recent developments, including the Riverbend subdivision in Wood County's Middleton Township near Perrysburg, were pre-made -- he acquired them out of receivership from other builder/developers who fell into the financial abyss over the last five years.

"When the slowdown hit, it was just like somebody shut off the faucet -- and it wasn't just here. It was everywhere," Mr. McCarthy said of the 2007-2009 recession that devastated the Toledo area's ranks of custom home builders.

Home Improvement – Owner Builder Style | Our Scraps Of Life

by admin

So, why is owner builder financing typically set aside for larger projects only? It doesn’t seem fair until you look at it from the bank’s point of view. Owner builder projects represent the riskiest form of residential lending. Construction loans in general are already considered a high risk mortgage, because a bank is lending money without an existing home. Now, add to that risk level the fact that an owner builder loan has no requirement for a licensed general contractor. You can see easily why these mortgage products are considered risky until the home is completed.
