Frequently Asked Questions
Can I finance a Detached ADU (DADU) in Seattle?
- Yes. Because DADUs in Seattle and Bellevue can cost between $250,000 and $400,000, we recommend Construction-to-Permanent loans or Renovation Loans. These allow you to borrow against the future value of the property, often covering 100% of the construction cost.
Does NBE work with local credit unions like BECU or Salal?
- Absolutely. We are a preferred contractor for many local lending institutions. We understand their specific paperwork, "Draw Schedules," and lien waiver requirements, ensuring your project moves smoothly.
What is a "Soft Pull" credit check?
- When you check your rates with our partner Hearth, it is a "soft inquiry." This means you can see your real monthly payment options instantly without hurting your credit score.
Do you handle FHA 203k or HomeStyle Renovation loans?
- Yes. These loans require a licensed general contractor to manage the budget and schedule. NBE LLC is fully compliant and experienced in navigating these federally backed programs.
