A Renovation Loan Can Help You Create Your Dream Home
Home is what you create in the place that you live. It isn’t always a brand new updated house. Sometimes it means you put in a little sweat equity to turn a house into your dream home. Whether it’s a huge remodel project or a light fixer-upper, there are renovation home loans that can help you with that!
How Can Renovation Loans Help You?
Renovation home loans can help you buy an older home in an established location that you have been desiring or help you buy a home that’s priced lower because it needs some extra work. These loans allow you to finance the house plus the repairs and renovations needed at the same time. This can open up many more home buying choices for you as you begin to look for your dream home.
APM proudly offers a full suite of renovation lending programs to fit renovation projects large and small, including FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle®. These programs allow buyers to purchase or refinance a home in need of repairs or renovation and roll the cost of improvements into the mortgage. The loan amount is based on the future assessed price of the home, which helps expand your purchase options to provide financing for short sale or foreclosure properties in need of renovation.
