RENOVATION LENDING BENEFITS PURCHASE OR REFINANCE PROGRAMS
NO “EXTRA FUNDS” REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS ARE FINANCED INTO THE LOAN
WHAT IS A RENOVATION LOAN? Renovation loans are designed for homebuyers and homeowners that want to rehabilitate, repair, or update a new or currently owned property.
PERSONALIZED HOME IMPROVEMENTS
Includes funds needed to purchase or refinance, funds required for repairs, and related expenses all-in-one loan. Low down payment requirements put renovation projects within reach for Borrowers who otherwise could not afford them.
BENEFITS OF A RENOVATION LOAN • Renovation loans open up more choices to homebuyers by expanding their search parameters. • Not every home is move-in ready and many buyers don’t have the extra funds to upgrade or renovate after closing. • For buyers, home improvements can improve living conditions, comfort, and value of their new home. • Existing owners can take the next step in creating their dream home through a refinance that combines their improvements.
RENOVATION LENDING
THE RENOVATION LOAN PROCESS SETTING EXPECTATIONS When considering a renovation loan, referral partners and customers need to understand the entire loan process, from submission to post close/project completion. Renovation loans are different from a typical fixed rate loan, in that the improvements are financed into the loan amount. It is essential to know that the value of these is compared against the total market value of the home after the project is completed. The following is a typical renovation loan process that can help provide an overview of what to expect.
