A home renovation loan is essentially financing used to pay for the costs of repairing, updating, or improving your home. Unlike traditional loans, these are specifically designed to fund renovations, potentially increasing your home's value.
Generally, homeowners who intend to undertake renovation projects and have a clear plan of the improvements they want to make are eligible. Your credit score, income, and the equity in your home can all play a role in your eligibility.
The amount you can borrow depends on the type of loan, your creditworthiness, the value of your home, and, in some cases, the projected value of your home post-renovation.
Absolutely! Whether you're hiring professionals or swinging the hammer yourself, a home renovation loan can cover the costs. However, some lenders may have restrictions on DIY projects, so it's essential to clarify this upfront.
