Home Rehabilitation Loan
Home rehabilitation loan products are flexible. Homeowners and buyers need a
better way to finance rehabilitation of their existing home or the home they are
purchasing. Before home rehabilitation loan programs, homeowners or purchasers
wishing to finance rehabilitation had few alternatives. These were 1) Pay for improvements in
cash. 2) Do a cash-out refinance based on the current value
of the home. 3) Take out an equity line.These place the burden of funding the
rehabilitation on the homeowner who will
not be reimbursed until after the loan closes. E I
am a home rehabilitation loan mortgage broker and represent 21 of the largest construction
and rehabilitation lenders. As a broker, I work for you, my client and not the lender, taking time to
understand your situation and placing your home rehabilitation loan with the lender whose
loan matches your needs. I give you unbiased advice and support throughout the
process. Construction and rehabilitation lending
is a specialized area and most brokers do not
have the experience to guide you through this complex process. I have given you basic information
here but please do call to discuss your specific project. At the fundamental level,
lenders offer two types of product characterized by how they base
interest rates during the construction phase. I describe them “One Step” and “Two Step”
Home rehabilitation loan programs are a variation of the "One Time Close" construction/perm product. The major advantage of a rehabilitation loan is that we lend against the finished or "as completed" value of the property rather than the current value of your home Home rehabilitation loan programs have two uses: If you are purchasing a property that would be perfect if it had....... The first disbursement acquires the property and subsequent disbursements occur at predetermined points in the construction process. After construction, the loan modifies into the permanent loan of choice saving the cost of a second closing. If you are rehabbing an existing property because it would be perfect if it had.... The first disbursement refinances any liens against the property and advances the contractor any up front costs. Subsequent disbursements and modification follow the above process. Under the above programs, you may act as your own General Contractor if the costs are less than $50,000 and the "footprint" is not changed. If your project is large or will change the foundation you do need a fixed price contract with a licensed contractor. I have included a list of the documentation needed to process your Rehabilitation Loan , a section on Frequently Asked Questions, a section on rehabilitation loan draw schedules, and information on rehabilitation loan fees. They may require the use of a contractor. I have a section on contractor requirements and contracts. NEW! A newsletter giving a detailed description of rehabilitation loan available by email. One final but important note. These are complex and are a specialized area of mortgage lending. I have many years of experience in home rehabilitation loans and in most years will close in excess of $3,000,000 of these loans. As an experienced mortgage broker, I have access to most programs available today and will research the market for the program which makes the most sense for you. I prefer to analyze your goals and financial situation before I recommend a program but I will always make sure you clearly understand the options available to you. I stay with my clients from the beginning to the end of the project. If there is an issue with the lender, I will intercede on your behalf. I work for you, not the lender. As a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist, I offer an analysis of your situation today can make suggestions on how small changes in how your debt is structured today can have a life changing effect in the years to come.
