The HomeStyle Renovation mortgage enables a borrower to obtain a purchase transaction mortgage or a limited cash-out refinance mortgage and receive funds to cover the costs of repairs, remodeling, renovations or energy efficient improvements to the property.
There are no required improvements or restrictions on the types of repairs allowed or a minimum dollar amount for the repairs. Repairs or improvements, however, must be permanently affixed to the real property and add value to the property.
When HomeStyle is used for energy-related improvements, borrowers are required to obtain an energy report to identify recommended energy improvements to the property and the estimated cost savings associated with those improvements.
Essentially, HomeStyle Renovation is a solution to the current problem in housing that home buyers often see: finding houses that aren’t yet “home.” You can buy a house with potential and turn it into your home with your style, without breaking the bank. With a minimum of 5% down*, you can finance the purchase and remodeling of your dream home.
