My husband and I are working with a builder of a subdivision we are planning on building in. We chose a home from the options this builder has for the sub. To get started on the house, we need to give him $5,000 down. However we do not have the funds

It doesn't sound like you are being required to get a construction loan. The builder is asking for an earnest money deposit. Typically, builders require $5,000 to start the home and would ask for an additional 5 or 10 during different phases of the project.

I think you should consider local lenders on this. I have no idea what the fees are for construction loans, however they will roll the remainding amount into your mortgage when finished and you take on your permanent loan.

BACK TO SCHOOL: TLC Academy sees growth

14.08.11

— TLC Academy, the Concho Valley’s only charter school, is starting its third year with the same 6.4 percent reduction in state funding as all the other public schools.

In TLC Academy’s case, the budget shortfall is offset by the school’s growth. Walt Landers , chancellor and CEO of the academy and senior pastor of Tree of Life Church, said the school is near capacity with an enrollment of 910 students for the 2011-13 school year, which starts Tuesday.

“We’re on Year Seven of our goals part and we’re beginning Year Three. We’re looking at making amendments to the charter so we can expand,” Landers said.

My husband and I are working with a builder of a subdivision we are planning on building in. We chose a home from the options this builder has for the sub. To get started on the house,we need to give him $5,000 down. However we do not have the funds saved so we are able to do a construction loan. I’ve heard so many things about construction loans and how the fees are horrible. Yet,its been so hard for me to find any information. Would the fees be that steep,even though we only need $5000 down? Is there any specific banks/companies out there that make this process easier that anyone would recommend? Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
