Welcome jrrlynnfinkley,

If you are taking out a residential loan with your home as collateral, it is similar to getting a mortgage. Since you wish to get a loan to build home, what you need is a construction loan with your home as the security.

Have you decide upon the type of loan you'd like to take? if you are yet to choose from the variety of options available, I'll suggest you seek a free consultation with the lenders in this community. They'll help you to select the right loan that will suit your needs.

there are lenders out there who will grant you the loan you are seeking without collateral - in other words, the only security they would get is your signatures.

any time you offer a home as collateral, you are taking a mortgage loan. it is not a hideous thing to have, but if you're only seeking $20K, you might just be able to get that personal loan at a reasonable interest rate.
shop around.
