Hi,
I have my first payment due (SLAB), I was told last night by a mate that i dont pay any of the Construction Loan until the house is complete.
I thought as soon as the first payment has been paid to the builder by the bank i would have to start paying the loan straight away.
Any thoughts ? which is correct ?
