Build

Whether you're planning to build your dream home from the ground up or embarking on a home renovation project to increase value and functionality, a mortgage broker can help you secure the right financing to make your vision a reality.

From new builds to large-scale home renovations, we have the experience and resources to guide you through the process, ensuring that you have the right financial tools at your disposal. Additionally, if you're looking to access funds for a renovation or project, a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) might be a great option.

Here’s how we can help you finance your construction or renovation project:

1. Financing a New Build Construction Project

Building a new home is an exciting but complex process. With a mortgage broker by your side, you can navigate the complexities of new construction financing. We’ll work with you to:

- Explore Construction Loan Options: We’ll help you understand the different types of construction loans available, including:

- Construction-to-Permanent Loans: These loans finance the construction of your new home and then convert to a permanent mortgage once the construction is complete.

- Stand-Alone Construction Loans: These loans cover the cost of construction, and once the home is built, you will need to secure a separate permanent mortgage.

- Evaluate Builder and Project Costs: A mortgage broker helps you assess the total cost of the construction project, including the builder’s fees, permits, land costs, and any unexpected expenses.

- Secure Financing with Competitive Terms: We shop multiple lenders to find the best interest rates and terms, ensuring that your loan suits your needs and budget.

2. Financing Small or Large-Scale Home Renovations

Whether you’re making minor upgrades or undertaking a large-scale renovation, a mortgage broker can help you secure the necessary financing. We’ll work with you to determine the best options for your renovation project:

- Renovation Loans: We help you access specialized renovation loans, such as the FHA 203(k) or Fannie Mae’s HomeStyle® Renovation loan, which allow you to finance both the purchase of the home (if applicable) and the cost of the renovation in one loan.

- Home Equity Loans & HELOCs: If you have sufficient equity in your current home, we can help you leverage that equity to fund your renovation project. Home equity loans or lines of credit (HELOCs) are ideal for smaller-scale renovations or when you need access to cash over time.

- Cash-Out Refinancing: If you have a mortgage on your home and need additional funds, a cash-out refinance might be an option. This allows you to refinance your existing mortgage for more than you owe and receive the difference as cash to use for renovations.

3. Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a flexible and popular option for homeowners who want to access their home’s equity. A mortgage broker can help you understand how a HELOC works and how it can be used for your construction or renovation projects:

- What is a HELOC? A HELOC allows you to borrow against the equity in your home, offering you access to a revolving line of credit. Similar to a credit card, you can borrow and repay funds as needed, up to your credit limit, during the draw period (usually 5-10 years).

- Why Use a HELOC for Construction or Renovation? A HELOC is ideal for homeowners who need ongoing access to funds throughout a construction or renovation project. You can use the funds as needed, whether for labor, materials, or other unexpected costs that arise during the project.

- Flexible Repayment Options: With a HELOC, you can typically make interest-only payments during the draw period and then pay off the principal when the line of credit converts to a repayment period. This can help ease cash flow challenges during long renovation or construction projects.

- Access to Lower Rates: Since a HELOC is secured by your home, it usually offers lower interest rates than unsecured credit options like personal loans or credit cards.

4. Navigating Permits, Costs, and Project Timelines

Financing construction or renovation projects involves more than just securing the right loan. A mortgage broker will help you navigate the process, from understanding permit requirements to budgeting for unexpected expenses. We’ll work with you to:

- Estimate Project Costs: We’ll assist in evaluating the cost of your project and help you ensure that your loan covers all necessary expenses.

- Timeline Considerations: Construction projects can take time, and financing must align with project milestones. We’ll help you secure funding in stages and ensure payments align with construction progress.

5. Access to Multiple Lenders and Customized Financing

As a mortgage broker, we have access to a broad network of lenders who specialize in construction and renovation loans. We’ll work to find the best loan product for your specific project, whether it’s a new build, small renovation, or large-scale remodel. Our goal is to offer customized financing options that fit your timeline, budget, and vision.
