Renovation & rehab loans: buy the diamond in the rough.
Turn a fixer-upper into your next home with one loan that covers both the purchase AND the repairs.
The Smart Way to Buy & Fix
A rehab loan lets you finance both the purchase price AND renovation costs in a single mortgage. Instead of buying a house, THEN getting a separate construction loan, you roll it all into one.
You can compete for homes that other buyers pass over. Less competition means better prices. Then you customize it to YOUR taste.
The Real Advantage: You're not paying cash for renovations. You're financing them over 30 years at mortgage rates — which are way lower than credit cards, HELOCs, or personal loans.
Why This Matters
- One closing: No separate loans, no extra fees.
- Lower interest rates: Mortgage rates beat personal loans by 3-5%.
- Build equity fast: Renovations increase home value immediately.
- More home choices: Access properties other buyers ignore.
- Predictable budget: All costs fixed in one loan estimate.
