Many homeowners use construction-to-permanent financing programs where the
construction loan is converted to a mortgage loan after the certificate of
occupancy is issued. The advantage is that you only have to have one
application and one closing.
Depending on your view on interest rate trends, you could also purchase a
rate-lock agreement valid through the expected completion of the
construction. Just make sure you allow for the inevitable construction
delays.
A construction loan, unlike a mortgage, isn't meant to be around for a long
time. If you're taking out a $200,000 construction loan for six months and
you pay an extra 0.5 percent on the loan, it costs you an additional $250.
(Assumes an average $100,000 loan balance over a six-month construction
period.)
You may be willing to pay a higher rate on the construction loan if you're
doing construction-to-permanent financing and can get better mortgage terms
or a longer, better rate lock from that lender.

Florida is known as the sunshine state, for both it's mild climate and world-reknowed beaches. It's the fourth most populous state in the USA, after California, New York and Texas, and a major attraction and real estate destination for both young and old.
Florida was first seen by the Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon on Palm Sunday on April 2, 1513 - he then named the "Pascua de Florida," meaning "Feast of Flowers" and claimed it for Spain. Later, Florida would be held at different times by Spain and England until Spain finally sold it to the United States in 1819. The rich Spanish history is still woven into the fabric of Floridian society.
