Remodeling Loans                                                                                                                                           

Remodeling loans address the need to finance improvements on your home. Before remodeling loans, homeowners had few alternatives. These were 1) Pay for remodeling in cash. 2) Do a cash-out refinance based on the current value of the home. 3) Take out an equity line. This still places the burden of funding the remodeling on the homeowner. Remodeling loans solve this problem. Email questions on remodeling loans.

As a mortgage broker specializing in remodeling loans, I work for you, taking the time to understand your situation and placing your remodeling loans with the lender whose remodeling loans match your needs. I have access to 22 lenders offering remodeling loans. Remodeling loans are available as a fixed rate or adjustable. Remodeling loans are a specialized part of mortgage banking and most brokers do not have the experience to guide you through this complex process. Lenders offer two types of remodeling loans characterized by how they base interest rate on the loans during the construction phase. I refer to these approaches as “One Step” and “Two Step” remodeling loans.

Remodeling loans allow you to refinance your current mortgage or purchase a new home and fund the improvements. Remodeling loans are modified at the completion of the improvements to a permanent loan product.

They are a variation of the "One Time Close" remodeling loans product. A major advantage is that we lend against the finished or "as completed" value of the property rather than the current value of your home. With other programs, you are out of luck if you do not have enough equity to complete the project. 

  • Remodeling Loans Single Rate. "One Step" program protects you against increasing rates and extended lock fees. Interest only fixed rate during construction and modifies into a permanent loan after construction. Great flexibility and low rates on ARMs.

  • Remodeling Loans Prime Rate Based. "Two Step" program allows you to borrow up to 95% of your total cost. Based on the Prime Rate  during the construction period with interest only collected on funds disbursed. Allows a 12 month construction phase. 

I have included a list of the documentation needed to process Remodeling Loans , a section on Frequently Asked Questions, a section on remodeling loans draw schedules, and information on remodeling loan fees. They may require the use of a contractor. I have a section on contractor requirements and contracts.

Please feel free to email with any specific questions.

A newsletter giving a detailed description of them available by email.

One of the questions I frequently get from my clients is about finding a qualified and reliable contractor. After a great deal of research, I do recommend Reliable Remodeler. I have personally used their free service and was very pleased with the outcome. Please complete their contractor referral form for up to 4 local pre screened contractors.
