Renovation & Construction

Renovation, Construction & Property Rescue

Financing for building, improving, repairing, or protecting a property — from fixer-uppers to ground-up construction and everything in between.

Renovation & Construction Loan Programs

From cosmetic upgrades to ground-up builds — we have a program for every project scope.

FHA 203(k) Loan

Government-backed renovation loan that bundles purchase and rehab costs into one mortgage. Available as Standard (major structural work) or Limited (cosmetic upgrades up to $35,000).

Fannie Mae HomeStyle

Conventional renovation loan with flexible guidelines. Finance up to 75% of the as-completed appraised value — ideal for higher-end renovations or investment properties.

Construction-to-Permanent

One-time close loan that covers land, construction costs, and converts to a permanent mortgage at completion — saving you from two separate closings and duplicate fees.

Fix-and-Flip Financing

Short-term bridge loans for investors purchasing distressed properties to renovate and resell. Fast approvals, asset-based underwriting, and flexible draw schedules.

ADU Construction Loans

Finance the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit on your existing property. Add rental income potential or multigenerational living space with purpose-built ADU financing.

Scope of Work Loans

Loans structured around a detailed contractor scope of work and draw schedule. Funds are released in stages as inspections confirm completed milestones.

HELOC for Renovations

Tap existing home equity to fund renovations. Flexible draw period lets you access funds as needed throughout the project.

Cash-Out Refinance

Refinance your existing mortgage and pull out equity to fund a renovation or construction project. Combine your mortgage and renovation costs into one loan.
