Benefits

Eligibility

Construction must be completed by a licensed and insured contractor.

Dennis and his wife Margie need more space in their home. The plan is to have Dennis’s mom move in with them, to take care of their new addition – a baby girl.

The Problem

Dennis and Margie wanted to upsize their home in order to make room for their growing family, but home prices were all too expensive so they decided to build an addition to their home instead. To pay for their addition, they didn’t want to pay with credit card because of high interest rates, and they did not have enough cash to pay for the construction outright.

Our Approach

Rehab Loans such as the Fannie May Homestyle renovation loan and the FHA 203k enables our clients to either purchase or refinance their home while including rehabilitation costs while maintaining a low monthly mortgage payment.

Results

Dennis and Margie were able to add square footage to their home, put on a new roof, remodel the existing kitchen – all without raising their monthly mortgage payment.
