It is owned by one company I believe. Their sign says you choose the blueprint out of the ones they have and you choose the lot, then they build it. That's all I got so far. Also, we would be using the VA certificate when getting a loan. Does that change anything?
If there is a developer that is going to build a subdivision then it will all be one loan at completion, or when the bank ok's it. If you need to buy the lot then build your own house, it will actually be 2 loans. 1. you will purchase the land to build on, 2. you may be able to pull 1 loan for the house, but sometimes they want you to take out a construction loan, where they pretty much moniter expenses and everything then at completion theyll make it one loan with everything included. I'd check around at the mortgage companies and banks. (smaller banks seem to be better, because they want the business) But wherever you go, theyll have multiple programs. Alot of if is based on credit and down-payment too. It seems like theres really no guidelines for the banks anymore, they just make up their own rules. Good luck with it all, and hope this helps:)

Sometimes the outfit selling the lots also will contract to build on the lot for you. Talk to the landowners, and to your banker.

Is a developer handling things? Here, a developer will be the one building all the houses. For this, you only need one mortgage. I did this for my first property - I bought a field, that was a multi-levelj condo when I moved in. I had a 1/3 down payment, and the bank was happy with this.
If the lots are sold separately, and then you get your own builder, I am not sure. My guess would be one mortgage still, as it is the value of the land and building against which the bank lends the money. It also makes things much easier for you, and legally as well. It can be a bit harder to get a mortgage for something like this though; a good down payment always helps.
