Scranton, PA (PRUnderground) September 16th, 2026
As more homebuyers explore building a custom home or transforming an existing property, My City Lending, a branch of Novus Home Mortgage, has launched a new educational series designed to simplify one of the mortgage industry’s most misunderstood financing options: construction loans.
The series features construction lending specialist Robert Lannigan, who walks viewers through every stage of the construction financing process, from understanding loan options and builder requirements to loan draws, timelines, and the transition from construction to permanent financing. The goal is to give prospective homeowners, builders, and real estate professionals the knowledge they need to confidently navigate the building process. Construction and renovation financing are among the specialized loan programs offered through My City Lending.
Unlike traditional mortgage education that focuses on purchasing an existing home, the series addresses the unique questions borrowers face when building from the ground up, including budgeting for construction costs, selecting qualified builders, and understanding how financing works throughout each phase of the project.
“Building a home is exciting, but for many buyers, the financing process feels overwhelming because it’s unfamiliar,” said Robert Lannigan. “Our goal is to make construction lending approachable by breaking down the process into simple, understandable steps so buyers know what to expect before they ever break ground.”
The educational content is part of My City Lending’s broader commitment to providing practical, transparent mortgage education that empowers consumers to make informed financial decisions. Whether someone is building their forever home, renovating an existing property, or exploring financing options for the first time, the series is designed to answer common questions with clear, expert guidance.
“Our mission has always been to educate first and lend second,” said Jason Wiggins, Regional Branch Manager of My City Lending. “Construction loans can open doors for buyers who may not realize building is an option. By sharing Robert’s expertise, we’re helping people better understand the opportunities available to them.”
The Construction Loan Education Series is available through My City Lending’s digital channels and will continue with new episodes covering topics including construction-to-permanent financing, renovation loans, budgeting, builder partnerships, and common mistakes to avoid during the homebuilding process.
