We found our "dream home" the only problem is that its a new construction that was never finished. We estimate there is probably $25K in work that still needs to be done but we are looking to see if there are ways to finance this place or if it needs to be a cash transaction. We looked into a 203K but since the house was not previously lived in, that is not an option. Does anyone know of other financing programs that could work? It doesn't have to involve financing the final things that need to be done...

Talk to lenders about construction loans. They are specifically designed for your needs.
Price: $14.95
My score is pretty low, including some negatives as recently as a year ago. Somebody told me it might still be possible for me to have a home built since I own the land. They said the lenders will take the land as collateral or something like that. Does anybody have experience with this situation?

it will be tough, in these times ,depending on credit score, and how long he's been self employed, he may have to do a stated income loan, which I'm not even sure they will do anymore. good luck
I signed a purchase/sale agreement to buy a new construction home. I waived financing and inspection in the agreement. But I have not deposited earnest money yet. Now I want to walk away from the deal. The sell threatens to sue me if I do not deposit the earnest money.
You must have consideration for it to be a legal contract. Without a deposit you have no contract. He can't sue you for anything.

Building Permits Rise in December 2010 as Builders Prepare for ...
2009, The year-end data indicate that production of new homes improved 6.1% in 2010 from the previous year. On another positive note, permit issuance for construction of new homes and apartments rose 16.7% in December to a rate of 635,000 units, the strongest pace since March of 2010.
“The latest government report indicates that builders are preparing for an anticipated improvement in buyer demand in the spring buying season by pulling more permits in hopes of soon replenishing the very tight inventory of new homes for sale,” said Bob Nielsen, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder from Reno, Nevada. “That said, it remains to be seen if the availability of financing for new construction and existing viable projects will improve in order to make building feasible and facilitate a housing and economic recovery.”
“Today’s report is consistent with what home builders have been telling us in our recent surveys,” noted NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. “While builders remain extremely cautious about new construction at this time, they are looking forward to putting their employees back to work as economic conditions improve over the New Year—assuming they can obtain the necessary financing for new-home production. To date, however, any improvement in the market for acquisition, development and construction lending has been minimal at best.”
