I started Project Birdsong to share actionable conversations on eco building + living because there was no resource like this when I went looking for one! It is self-funded because I am that passionate about making this information available.

Episode 2: Fuss Free Construction Loans - Is That Even Possible?
<p>If you're looking to buy land and build a home in Ontario this is a must-listen episode. <br/><br/>My guest is mortgage broker Craig Fried from: https://financial-freedom.ca/<br/><br/>He walked me through what to expect when securing a construction loan down to a calculation of the monthly payments I can expect to make! We will definitely be using Craig to help us with the Project Birdsong build. <br/><br/>We discussed: </p><ol><li>What is a home builder’s/construction loan</li><li>How does it differ from a standard mortgage</li><li>Are there additional risks</li><li>Any additional costs</li><li>Does it cover the land and construction</li><li>Is this sort of loan best secured through a bank or a brokerage</li><li>Breakdown:<ul><li>Budget 500k.</li><li>Land 100K.</li><li>Construction: 400k</li></ul></li><li>What amortization period is recommended</li></ol><p><b>Note: My mic was not working properly so it is best to listen to this episode on lower volume and without earphones. My voice came through more chirp less song (get it?), but Craig does most of the talking and his voice sounds fine. Rest assured that I've learned my lesson and a mic has been ordered for future recordings!</b><br/><br/>Was this episode helpful? Find me on IG @projectbirdsong and let me know. </p>
