Renovation Loans
About Renovation Loans:
Renovation loans are designed for homebuyers and homeowners looking to finance repairs, upgrades, or remodeling projects.
These loans provide funds based on the home's projected value after renovations, making them ideal for fixer-uppers or major home improvements. Because renovation loans involve added risk, lender requirements may vary. Typically, borrowers need a detailed renovation plan, a licensed contractor, and a qualifying credit profile to secure financing.
Key Features:
- Property must be your primary residence, not an investment
- Minimum credit score requirement typically around 640
- Loan includes a contingency reserve of 10-20% for unexpected costs
- Allows you to borrow money above the price of the home to renovate the home both structurally and cosmetically
- Can be used for homes up to 1-4 units if owner-occupied
