Remodel Loans
Remodel Loans
Have you found a house with the potential to be the home of your dreams, but not before some significant updates (kitchen and bath remodels, finishing of a basement, room expansions and additions) are made?
3Rivers’ Purchase-Remodel Loan Program allows the homebuyers to purchase a home as-is and complete all of the major updates that come later with just one loan. This loan option allows you to avoid having to use cash to pay for remodels and refinancing to complete later work.
In addition, with our Purchase-Remodel Loan, you’re able to:
- Utilize one loan and one set of closing costs to get the home you want.
- Lock-in the interest rate that comes with the initial loan.
- Use the home value (based on remodel completion).
- Utilize the loan like a construction loan (project set-up using draws).
It’s important to note that this loan is not applicable to cosmetic updates (new carpet, new paint) or customary maintenance (HVAC, new roof) unless they’re a part of a larger remodeling project. In addition, remodels made using this loan require the use of a licensed contractor.
