Financing a metal building in Texas involves four main loan types: construction loans, agricultural loans (USDA FSA or Farm Credit), personal property loans, or home equity/HELOC products — with rates from 6.5% to 10%+ as of 2025. Most lenders require 10–20% down. A 40×60 metal building in the Hill Country typically costs $48,000–$96,000 total.
