I always hear "I have always wanted a LOG HOME!"

No matter where I am, if I mention that I have built and sold Cedar Log Homes, the response is always, "I have always wanted a Log Home". 
My question is, why haven't you built one? 
A few common misconceptions are that they require too much maintenance, cost too much, aren't permanent residences, and that they can't get financed. 

A Log Home, aesthetics aside, require the same amount of maintenance as a conventionally built home, they are 40% more energy efficient, are great permanent residences, and cost about the same as any other custom built home.  If you are thinking about a LOG HOME, contact me today at 412-629-0069.  North American Wholesale Cedar Log Homes.  www.nawclh.com

Non Conforming New Construction Loans

After a long conversation with Real Estate and Lending executive in the Banking industry, I learned that the banks have loosened their regulations a little for non-conforming new construction loans.  When you build a Log Home, unless you are a cash buyer, you have to obtain a non-conforming new construction loan.  The reason is because every Log Home Company requires payment in full for the Log Home "KIT" upon delivery.  This means that there is an extra draw scheduled into the loan. 
A standard new construction loan consists of 6 draws.  A non-conforming new construction loan consists of anywhere from 7-9 draws.  A draw is a release of the money to pay for materials and labor.  The requirements still are 20% down.  This can be in the form of cash or equity or a combination of both.  You also must have a credit score of 725 or higher.  So, if you have been thinking about building your DREAM CEDAR LOG HOME, now is the time.  Interest rates are at an all time low, and financing just became a little bit easier.  Contact Kim Schneider with NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES for more information.  412-629-0069.  Local models available to view by appointment.

Eco friendly and energy efficient equals a Cedar Log Home


NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES offers only the best quality Northern White Cedar for its construction components. Northern White Cedar, according to the American heating and refrigeration engineers, bears the highest "R" value of all of the woods. This means that your CEDAR Log Home from NORTH AMERICAN WHOLESALE CEDAR LOG HOMES will be 40% more energy efficient than a comparable framed home with R19 insulation.
Northern White Cedar is a "swamp" wood. It only grows in swamps and extremely moist conditions, therefore it can only be harvested when the ground is frozen over enough to allow the heavy logging trucks in to timber. Knowing this, we only timber 2nd growth trees which means that the Northern White Cedar Forests are consistently replanting.
We offer 10 standards plans, but custom design for FREE. Visit us at www.nawclh.com or call toll free at 1-866-933-5647
