VA Renovation Loans: A Veteran’s Dream

Are you a veteran looking to purchase a home that needs a little TLC? The VA Renovation Loan program is designed to help you finance both the purchase and renovation costs in a single loan.

Why Choose a VA Renovation Loan?

  1. Flexible Financing: The VA Renovation Loan offers a streamlined process to finance both the purchase price and necessary repairs.
  2. Low Down Payment: Veterans can benefit from the VA’s zero down payment requirements, making homeownership more accessible.
  3. Competitive Interest Rates: VA loans often come with competitive interest rates, saving you money in the long run.
  4. No PMI: VA loans typically don’t require private mortgage insurance (PMI), further reducing your monthly costs.

How Does it Work?

The VA Renovation Loan program allows you to roll the cost of repairs and renovations into your mortgage. This means you can purchase a fixer-upper and finance the necessary improvements simultaneously.

Here’s a breakdown of the process:

  1. Find a VA-Approved Lender: Work with a lender who understands the VA loan program and can guide you through the process.  Lets be honest your best bet it to talk to Jeremy Drobeck.  He served in the Marine Corps and has closed 100’s of renovation loans!
  2. Get Pre-Approved: Obtain a pre-approval letter from your lender to demonstrate your financial readiness. Click here to get started on the preapproval.
  3. Find a House: Next step is to have your Real Estate Agent take you out to help you find a home to purchase and negotiate a purchase agreement.
  4. Hire a Qualified Contractor: Select a contractor who is experienced in working with VA renovation loans.  Develop a detailed budget for the renovation project, outlining the costs of materials and labor.
  5. The Loan Process: It takes about 30 days to get the appraisal, vet the contractor, and all the other things that happen to get everything ready to close.
  6. Close on the Loan: Once the purchase and renovation plans are approved, you’ll close on your loan.
  7. Work Begins:  Now that you own the home the contractor can go in and start the work.

Taking Advantage of This Opportunity

If you’re a veteran looking to purchase a home, the VA Renovation Loan program offers a fantastic opportunity to achieve your homeownership goals. By combining the purchase and renovation costs into a single loan, you can streamline the process and make your dream home a reality.
