Whether you can’t find that perfect home or it’s time to upgrade your current property, we have the experience you need for the perfect home loan options. Our home improvement loan options in West Palm Beach, FL can be used either when purchasing your new home or if you would like to make improvements to an existing property you already own. One of the most exciting aspects of this loan program is that it allows you, the borrower, to use the after-repaired value of the home to determine the loan amount.
Sounds Confusing? Here’s an example. Let’s say you currently own a home, but there is not enough equity in the property to obtain a home equity line of credit. Most lenders would turn down your loan application, even though you plan to use the funds to improve the property they are lending on. With these type loans, we provide the property appraiser a list of the repairs and materials you would like to use for your renovation project. The appraiser then uses this list to determine the value of the property with the repairs completed.
This valuation is important for two reasons–first, it gives the lender a new valuation to base your loan amount on and second, it gives you, the homeowner, knowledge of the value the improvements you are going to invest in will add to your new or existing home to assure you make the most out of your investment.
These loans are offered in two separate options, both FHA and Conventional. The differences in these programs are listed below, along with FHA and Conventional loan home requirements in West Palm Beach, FL.
