What is a Land Loan?

Land loan (or lot loans) is a kind of loan that aims financing a piece of land. This type of loan concentrates on buying the whole land, unlike the traditional mortgages that often include a home. The amount you can borrow is determined by the value of the property (land). Also, interest rate and the principal are paid back over a certain period of time. Your loan interest rate and principal amount depend on the type of land you are willing to buy.
