Renovation loans combine your purchase price and renovation costs into one mortgage, allowing you to buy properties that need work and finance the improvements all at once.

Full 203(k) and HomeStyle loans allow structural changes, room additions, and major systems replacement.

DIY Options Available

Some programs allow you to do certain work yourself, potentially saving thousands on labor costs.
