Difference Between Home Loans and Land Loans

Though these two lending options may sound similar, they’re actually quite different and you will need to plan accordingly. Home loans are traditional mortgages and include the purchase of land and a home (or other residential structure). Land loans are for land without any structures.

Land Loans

For those wanting to purchase land without structures or homes yet. Terms are up to 180 months.

Traditional Mortgage

For those wanting to purchase a house and the land on which it was constructed. Terms and rates vary by mortgage type.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s turn your land dreams into reality. Get the answers to all your questions about borrowing for your piece of the Silver State.

  • Is it hard to get a loan to buy land?

    As with most loans, you’ll need to qualify before a lender will approve you for funding. That means having a decent credit score. Interested to see where you stand with your credit report? Members can take advantage of GNCU’s free My Credit Health feature within Digital Banking offering a powerful one-stop-shop to access your credit score, credit monitoring, credit score simulator, financial tips, and more. All of this without impacting your credit score, and all online.

  • What is the lowest down payment for land?

    The short answer: it depends. The long answer: no two borrowers or pieces of land are the same. Therefore, no minimum down payment will be universal.
