Requirements for a Land Loan

When qualifying for a land loan, we will take a look at your financial background to determine whether you have the profile to support qualifying for a loan.

A down payment: Listerhill requires a 15% down payment for land loans.

Home details: Your lender will also want to view the details around your land and the land plan, confirming that it meets all zoning and land-use restrictions.

Debt to income ratio: We will review your debt to income ratio (DTI) to ensure you don’t have more debt than your income can manage. A recommended DTI, including your mortgage payment, is no more than 43%.

Steady income: Whether you’re self-employed or have a W2 job, we want to ensure that you have a stable work history showcasing your likelihood of being able to afford your property now and in the future. Two years of consistent employment are typically required to qualify for a land loan.

Credit history: Your credit score is a significant indicator of your financial responsibility. We will review your credit history and credit score to determine whether you have the background that showcases your ability to manage payments.

Ultimately we will take a look at your full profile and speak with you directly if needed to help you qualify for a land loan.

    • Land survey to know the boundaries of the property
