Home Improvement Loans vs The Perfect Home

Tweet

 

We all want our home to be perfect. However, finding the perfect home is like trying to catch a cloud. It's pretty much impossible. Almost every house out there has had someone living in it, and has their style and choices all over it. You'll find ugly wallpaper and carpet in some homes. Another place won't have a deck even though the yard is perfect for it. Yet another will have old windows and peeling paint. You could keep looking, getting back in the real estate agent's car and driving all over the place. Or you could find a diamond in the rough and put something to use: home improvement loans.

What is a Home Improvement Loan?

Finding a nice house "but it's missing something" or "but the appliances are old" can frustrate even the most patient home buyer. We call it "The But Problem." Fortunately, we have a solution: the But Loan™ mortgage program. The But Loan™ takes direct aim at any issues that follow the statement "I'd buy this house but..." For instance, if you find a house that has a great yard in a terrific neighborhood but the basement leaks, you may pass on the perfect diamond in the rough. The But Loan™ can solve the damp basement problem. It can also help you finance other improvements, upgrades or repairs. This means you get to turn the house you like into the home you love.

Here's how it works: you have a couple of options when it comes to home improvement loans. One choice is HomePath Renovation. This requires that the house you're looking at is a Fannie Mae-owned property. If that's not the case, you can take advantage of the FHA 203k. This loan option covers all kinds of houses and projects. The FHA 203k can help you make almost any home improvement and finance the cost into the life of your mortgage, all in one payment.

So...instead of spending months trying to find the perfect house, you could spend months living in the perfect house because you made it your own with a home improvement loan.
