Renovation
loans.
Buy or refinance and fund the renovation in one loan.
Buy the house and fund the work, in one loan.
A renovation loan lets you buy or refinance a home and include the cost of improvements in the same mortgage. It is a way to buy a house that needs work, or to update the one you have, without a separate loan for the project.
Some renovation programs base the loan on what the home will be worth after the work is done. Vadim helps you find the program that fits the project, from a new roof to a full remodel.
Four things to know about renovation loans.
- 01
Plans and bids first
Lenders review the contractor’s bids and the scope of work before closing.
- 02
Paid as the work is done
Renovation funds are usually held and paid out in stages as the work is completed.
- 03
Value after the work
Some programs lend on the home’s expected value once the project is finished.
- 04
Projects big and small
Repairs, kitchens, roofs, energy upgrades or a full remodel.
