Difference Between Home Loans and Land Loans

Though these two lending options may sound similar, they’re actually quite different and you will need to plan accordingly. Home loans are traditional mortgages and include the purchase of land and a home (or other residential structure). Land loans are for land without any structures.

As with most loans, a higher down payment can net you lower interest rates. Higher interest rates may result if you don’t put down enough, or if you have less-than-optimal credit. Contact your local branch to learn how else you can get competitive terms on your next land loan!

Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s turn your land dreams into reality. Get the answers to all your questions about borrowing for your piece of the Silver State below (or contact us directly for more details).

Is it hard to get a loan to buy land?

As with most loans, you’ll need to qualify before a lender will approve you for funding. That means having a decent credit score–around 640 or higher. Interested to see where you stand with your credit report? Members can take advantage of our free My Credit Health feature within Digital Banking offering a powerful one-stop-shop to access your credit score, credit monitoring, credit score simulator, financial tips, and more. All of this without impacting your credit score, and all online.
What is the lowest down payment for land?

The short answer: it depends. The long answer: no two borrowers or pieces of land are the same. Therefore, no minimum down payment will be universal.
