I am 10 months pass the maturity date for my construction loan paying interest each month. I am litigation with the builder of my new home, he has put a lien on my home. I want to close on the construction loan and enter into permanent financing without paying the lien. We are in the process of discovery prior to trial. Can I get permanent financing without paying the lien?

Speak to the loan officer handling your financing and the attorney handling the litigation. The lender may allow you to get a bond to cover the amount of the lien while the litigation is pending.
