"By chance I called Louisiana FCU looking to get a land loan to build my dream home. Not only did y'all make it happen, I got my boat refinanced at a lower interest rate and a credit card with a lower interest rate.

HOW TO GET PREPARED TO BUY YOUR LAND.
GET PRE-APPROVED
The pre-approval process can vary greatly between land and property lenders. That's because these types of loans typically require a lot more information from you than a conventional loan. But don't worry because our trusted land loan advisors will help you get there.
OBTAIN AN APPRAISAL
The appraisal you obtain will help establish the most accurate value of the land you wish to buy. Expect a quality land appraisal to take between 3 to 4 weeks. The time needed to complete this process is something lenders can rarely control. However, this can vary depending on the size of the land, type of use, location, and market volume.
CHECK TITLE AND OWNERSHIP
A land loan requires a title check to ensure ownership and that there are no hidden liens against the title. Expect the title process to take around a week or two if all information has been submitted correctly.
