How to Use Construction Loans to Finance Your Home Renovation

October 31, 2022 By Cade's Team Leave a Comment

Are you a homeowner?

Have you been dreaming about starting a big home-renovation project?

If you answered yes to both of these questions, this article can help make the process of financing your renovation project a little easier. After all, securing the money you need to pay to make costly home improvements can be stressful. Fortunately, the tips contained here can help.

Here we take a look at how construction loans can make financing your home renovation a breeze and allow you to pay off the construction costs over time, rather than needing the money upfront. Keep reading to learn more.

Why Apply for a Construction Loan?

Let’s start by discussing the need to seek financing for your home renovation. The simple fact is that the costs of building materials, renting or buying construction equipment, and hiring subcontractors are currently through the roof.

This makes it challenging for many homeowners to consider tackling this type of project.

And yet applying for a house building loan can actually make a home renovation affordable, because you can finance the project over a period of years. In other words, a house building loan makes the impossible seem possible, even during a tough economy.

Creating Financing

You don’t have to be a genius to understand that the real estate market is crazy at the moment. Many first-time home buyers are discovering that they can’t afford to buy the house of their dreams because prices are out of control.

The key is to understand that you can buy an older or less extravagant home and then apply for a house construction loan, using that money to pay for your home renovation.

These types of loans can help you to save money while investing in an awesome home that you can enjoy for years.

Finding the Right Loan

Believe it or not, there are many different types of loans to choose from. That’s why it’s important to understand your needs and goals, and then do some research to find the perfect type of loan to finance your home renovation project.

One of the most important factors to keep in mind is that home construction loans typically require a 20% down payment and a minimum credit score of 620. Thus you’ll need to get your finances in order before applying.

Thankfully, construction costs are often much less than the total price of a home. For example, a construction loan might only be for $20K or $50K, even though the value of the home you are restoring might be $300K. Thus, the 20% down payment can often be within reach.

Another thing to know about home construction loans is that they are generally are intended to help you while the construction process is underway. Thus, these loans are often issued for a period of one year to 18 months. At that time, you can either pay off the construction loan or you apply for traditional financing to pay it off.

Here’s a great resource where you can learn about rental property construction.

Using Construction Loans for Home Renovations

It’s no secret that investing in home renovation can be a compelling way to increase the property value of your home. I hope that this guide to using construction loans to fund your next renovation project will help to make the process as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

Erin and I are smiling in this photo, but only a few times in my life have I been so devastated, so heartbroken, so utterly and emotionally broken. 

When this photo was taken, we had recently had to say goodbye to our dearest, move beloved baby, Percy, who we had raised since adopting him at birth. He was our cherished companion, a therapy dog, and our beloved friend. 

The last photo was taken on our very last walk ever with him. 🐾👣🥺

This post is a reminder to be gentle with each other, because this human experience is extremely painful … and we’re all in it together. 🐶🌎❤️
