Home Renovation Loans

Unlike a home improvement loan, renovation loans give homeowners credit for a home's estimated future value called "after renovation value." Investees get greater borrowing power to finance their entire restoration project(s) by getting this credit for the increase in home value from the proposed renovation upfront. Lenders hire appraisers to review the renovation plans to determine how much value the changes will add to the current home value.

In addition to enhanced available funding, renovation loans have lower interest rates and better terms than other types. Primary residences, including manufactured homes, second (vacation) homes, investment properties, and even ground-up new construction, may be eligible for a renovation loan.

Other loans, such as cash-out refinancing and home equity loans, can pay for renovations; however, they rely on equity that the homeowners have built up over time, so new homeowners may not qualify. Renovation loans allow homeowners to tap into their future equity, thus increasing how much they can borrow. A renovation loan outweighs any of the alternatives listed above to obtain the financing required to renovate your home improvements.
