With local housing inventories at historic lows, the lack of availability is making it hard to find the house of your dreams in the area you desire. Our Purchase Remodel loan is the perfect solution to this problem because you can find a home in the neighborhood of your choice with the additional funds to customize the home to your liking. Even better, with this loan the planned improvements can be added to the appraised value giving you more borrowing power!
Accessory Dwelling Units, or ADUs as they are commonly known, are growing in popularity as many of our local municipalities make planning, zoning and permitting changes to make them easier to build and a more affordable housing option. ADU’s make for a great home office, a guesthouse for visitors, an income-producing rental, or a space for multi-generational living.
With the cost of ADUs varying somewhere between $100,000 to $200,000 depending on size and finishes, we’ve developed six different loan options to meet your needs.
