Renovation Loan

WHAT IS A RENOVATION LOAN

A renovation loan lets you finance a home purchase or refinance along with the cost of repairs or upgrades. With options like FHA 203k and Fannie Mae HomeStyle, you can roll improvements into one loan and create the home you want.

LEARN HOW RENOVATION LOANS WORK

Renovation loans combine your mortgage with renovation funds, giving you one loan, one payment, and one closing. Funds are released in stages as work is completed, allowing you to update or repair the property efficiently.

SEE RENOVATION LOAN PAYMENT EXAMPLES

Your monthly payment includes the mortgage plus the financed renovation costs. Because everything is combined, renovation loans often offer lower payments than using separate financing or credit cards.

UNDERSTAND RENOVATION LOAN RATES

Rates depend on your credit score, loan type, renovation scope, and market conditions. FHA 203k and HomeStyle loans each have their own guidelines and pricing structures.

SEE HOW RENOVATION LOAN RATES ARE SET

Lenders review your credit history, income, debt‑to‑income ratio, renovation plans, contractor bids, and overall project scope. Well‑documented projects typically receive better pricing.

RENOVATION LOAN CREDIT REQUIREMENTS

Renovation loans offer flexible credit options depending on the program. FHA 203k allows more lenient credit guidelines, while HomeStyle requires stronger credit and documentation.
