My wife and I are currently going to be apply for a mortgage late next month. The home isn't built yet. What I wanted to know is how does this process work exactly... Will we get approved for the mortgage and just wait for the home to be built or will we not close on the house until it is fully completed and inspection, ect. can take place? Also, when during this process would we actually lock in our interest rate? I am military and we are going to VA route.
