HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage
The HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage also lets buy a home and repair or improve it with just one loan. You can also use it as a refinancing tool to refinance an existing mortgage and borrow funds for the improvement or repairs to the home you currently own. Funds used for renovation under this program are capped at 50% of the completed value of the home.
Homestyle Features:
• Loan amount based completed value but capped at the current FannieMae loan limits. *adjusted annually
• Low 5% minimum down payment
• Reasonably good credit and verifiable income required
• Virtually unlimited on types of repairs but funds for renovation are capped at 50% of the completed value of the property.
