Have home financing questions ?

Considering updating, expanding, or remodeling your home?

With an FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae Renovation Loan, you can purchase or refinance a home with necessary or desired projects in mind, make immediate improvements, and pay for them over time. We specialize in renovation loans and will get you through the process smoothly.

  • If you are purchasing a new home, keep renovation loan options in mind. You may find a place that just needs a few updates to be perfect.
  • If you already own a home that needs renovations, you can use our Renovation Checklist to get an idea of the scope of the project
  • Meet with a Loan Officer to determine which renovation loan is right for your project
  • Apply for the loan and our dedicated Renovation Loan Team will work through the financing details and loan approval process
  • Working with a variety of experts, chosen by you and approved by us, the project will begin with design plans, a project timeline, and a cost breakdown
  • Draws are made to pay for the work throughout the renovation process
  • As soon as the loan closes, regular mortgage payments begin with the financing of the renovation included in the payment

Some features of our Renovation loans include:

  • Allows for home remodels, expansions, renovations, and repairs, as long as the project will add value and is feasible
  • Projects can include necessary repairs, desired upgrades, or a mixture of both
  • Project financing is rolled into your mortgage so you don't need to deplete your savings or take on higher interest forms of credit
  • Appraisal and loan amounts are based on the "after-repair" enhanced value, so you can maximize your project scope and budget
  • Available for second homes and investment properties
  • Down payment may be as low as 3.5% for purchase renovation loans

For very large projects, a Construction Loan may be an alternative option. Contact a Loan Officer to learn which loan program is right for you.
