Not sure what kind of mortgage you are currently doing. If it's a purchase, there are renovation loans that can be done that include the cost to renovate them home. If you are refinancing, there are renovation loans for refinance purposes as well. I need a bit more information to answer you correctly.

There are a couple of approaches to this. In short, you can look at FHA 203k or Fannie Mae HomeStyle products - both provide an option to renovate a home your own - or that you are looking to buy. Of course, there are always caveats in qualifying, etc. Feel free to reach out directly if you have specific questions that I can answer. - David Baker, Halo Capital, davidb@sayhalo.com, 515-974-6908

Look into the two main rehab loan options, the FHA 203k, and the Fannie Mae HomeStyle. I have a lot of information on my web site at https://joemetzler.com/renovation/
