Renovation Loans

Turn your home’s future value into today’s renovation budget.

Renovation loans combine your mortgage with a dedicated construction budget, backed by HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or VA programs. Because the loan is sized against your home’s value after the work is done, you can typically qualify for more than a standard cash-out refinance allows.

  • What it covers — minor updates starting around $5,000, deferred maintenance (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical), room additions, income units, pools, and landscaping.
  • How funds are released — your contractor submits the budget with the loan application; once escrow closes, funds are disbursed in draws as work is completed.
  • Who it’s for — homeowners and buyers who need more than they have on hand and want the lowest-rate financing option available.
