A loan is a type of debt. Like all debt instruments, a loan entails the redistribution of financial assets over time, between the lender and the borrower.

In a loan, the borrower initially receives or borrows an amount of money, called the principal, from the lender, and is obligated to pay back or repay an equal amount of money to the lender at a later time. Typically, the money is paid back in regular installments, or partial repayments; in an annuity, each installment is the same amount. The loan is generally provided at a cost, referred to as interest on the debt, which provides an incentive for the lender to engage in the loan. In a legal loan, each of these obligations and restrictions is enforced by contract, which can also place the borrower under additional restrictions known as loan covenants. Although this article focuses on monetary loans, in practice any material object might be lent.

Acting as a provider of loans is one of the principal tasks for financial institutions. For other institutions, issuing of debt contracts such as bonds is a typical source of funding.

What are the ins and outs of getting a construction loan to build a home?
Q. My husband and I are 1st time homebuyers. We have been preapproved for a house loan, but are not having luck finding what we want. We have toyed with the idea of building our own. What are the differences between getting a preapproved loan and buying a already built house and going through getting a construction loan? Do you have to put money up front for a construction loan? Do you make mortgage payments while the house is being built, or do you wait until the house is completed? Is there a time frame that the house must be built within? If we were preapproved for a certain amount with a homebuyers loan, would we likely be preapproved for the same amount for a construction loan? What other differences should I know about? Since we… [cont.]

A. Your pre-approaval only applies to the loan type you requested. If you change loan types you must be pre-approved again fot that specific loan type. The most favorable option for you is called a "Construction/Premanent" or "One Step" loan. This loan combines both the construction loan and the permanent loan in one package so that you are not paying two sets of loan fees. Not all lenders offer this option so you may have to shop for it. If you will let me know which state you are in I can help you find a lender who offers this program. Your minimum down payment will be 5% of the sales price of the land and proposed construction costs combined. In addition, the lender will require you have sufficient funds for closing costs and,… [cont.]

Can you get a personal loan to use as your personal contribution on a business loan?
Q. I want to get a personal loan as my 20-40% contribution on a business loan. Can I do that?
Asked by templeofdoom1234 - Sat Apr 18 12:34:22 2009 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. I highly doubt you can do that The banks will want to see that you have the 20-40% money when you apply. That means you should have gotten the personal loan PRIOR to applying for the business loan The problem with that is that the banks do credit checks. They will see that you've gotten a loan for the same amount you're saying as your contribution. And that could jeopardize your chances of getting the business loan Save up. Or seek out loan from other sources, one that will not be tracked with a credit check -- e.g. families and friends
