Sometimes the home you want isn’t perfect. Everyone has different requirements and expectations of their home. Often, your dream house might need a little love to get where you want it.
Are you looking to purchase a new home and are curious if you can include renovation costs in your mortgage? Or maybe you’re looking to renovate your current home and would like to include the renovation costs in one loan? No matter what you’re looking for, there are plenty of options for renovation loans that can help you reach your goals.
Homestead offers several options for renovation loans so you can achieve your goals no matter what they are. Loan limits apply and vary depending on program and property location.
HomeStyle® Renovation loans are good for covering the cost of purchasing a home as well as including money for improvements and renovations. They are very versatile and can accommodate a wide range of situations. Homestyle loans are great for almost any type of improvement, including luxury improvements such as swimming pools. The loan amount is based on the “as completed value of the home rather than the present value.
FHA 203(K) Standard Renovation loans can be an affordable way to fund home improvements whether you’re renovating your current home or are buying a home that needs some work. These types of loans are designed to be used for more complex projects such like room additions, exterior grading, and landscaping or reconstruction that would prevent you from immediately moving into the home. It is also used for renovations that require engineering or architectural drawings and inspections. This type of loan does not allow luxury projects.
The FHA 203(K) Limited Renovation loan is similar to the FHA 203(K) Standard Renovation loan but has some differences. For one, there is no consultant or plan reviewer required, no detailed work write-up, and you only need contractor bids and a signed contract. Borrowers may finance renovation costs up to $35,000 or up to $50,000 if the property is in a Qualified Opportunity Zone for non-structural related property repairs and improvements.
The Energy Efficient Mortgage is available to help finance energy efficient improvements for your home. These loans allow for eligible energy efficient improvements to be included in your mortgage. This includes improvements such as repairing dated windows, insufficient insulation, inefficient furnaces or water heaters, and any other feature in the home that compromises its energy efficiency.
