Renovation Loans

MORE THAN A LICK OF PAINT

A renovation mortgage allows you to buy a home that needs a little TLC and fold the renovation amount into the mortgage loan, which makes the cost of renovations more affordable when compared to your average credit card or home equity loan interest rates.

    • Down payment can be a gift
    • Same 3.5% investment required as standard FHA loan
