What are the two most frequent types of loans a contractor would encounter?

Fixed or variable
Government or private
Bank or savings
Construction or permanent

The correct answer is: Construction or permanent

The two most frequent types of loans a contractor would encounter are construction loans and permanent loans. Construction loans are short-term loans specifically designed to finance the building of a property. They provide funds during the construction phase, typically disbursed in stages as the project progresses. Once the construction is complete, the construction loan is usually converted into a permanent loan. Permanent loans, on the other hand, come into play after a project is finished. These are long-term loans intended to finance the property for a stable period, generally for the mortgage of the completed structure. The transition from a construction loan to a permanent loan is a common process in the real estate development cycle that many contractors need to navigate. Understanding the relationship between these two types of loans is crucial for contractors to manage project financing effectively and ensure the financial viability of their projects.
