A renovation loan is a specialized mortgage product that allows you to bundle the purchase price of a home and the cost of future repairs or upgrades into with one monthly payment. These loans are typically based on the property’s estimated value after renovations (as-completed value) rather than its current condition, giving you more borrowing power than a traditional home equity loan. Primary Renovation Loan Options

: Best for minor, non-structural repairs like kitchen updates or painting. It typically covers costs up to $35,000 . Some sources indicate limits can reach up to $75,000 .

: Specific programs for eligible veterans or low-to-moderate-income buyers in rural areas, allowing for combined purchase and repair costs.

: Similar to HomeStyle, this conventional option allows you to finance renovations up to 75% of the home's post-improvement value .

: A government-backed option with a low down payment (as low as 3.5%) and flexible credit requirements (typically a 580+ score).

: A conventional loan that allows for almost any renovation project, including luxury upgrades like swimming pools or patios, which are typically excluded from FHA loans. It requires a minimum 5% down payment for primary residences.
