Renovation Lending

The main concept behind these loans a.k.a Rehab, Renovation, 203k and Home Improvement loans is quite simple, clients who wants to finance the costs of home improvements through the mortgage for a purchase or refinance.

Financing the costs of the home improvements through the mortgage can be cheaper than high interest credit cards, emergency savings and high interest unsecured loans.

Don't worry about the appraised value if the house is in bad shape, the loan is based on the after improved value of your improvements.

Typically these loans can close in 30-45 days, with contract work started within 30 days of closing.
