Important Dates to Remember

| 1st of each month after closing | Your interest-only payment will be due. |
| 17th of each month after closing | We prepare your interest bill and send it to you. |
| 30 days before you complete construction | Contact your Draw Coordinator to talk about final requirements and your final draw (the final amounts you need to complete construction.) |
| Conversion Date | This is typically the date you complete construction. Your loan will change from the construction phase to the permanent phase and your payments will go from interest-only to mortgage payments of both interest and principal. |
