Flips & Fixer-Uppers: Renovation Loans
Sometimes you need to make repairs before moving in. Renovation loans are used in addition to your mortgage to ensure that you have the money you need to account for those costs upfront. The FHA 203(k) Fixed-Rate Rehab Loan - Allows you to borrow against the “as completed” appraised value of the property, or what it will be worth once all the work is done. Plus, offers standard or limited programs based on the scope of the renovations that need to be completed.
Unique Financial Situations: Portfolio Loans
Portfolio loans are kept and serviced in-house, as opposed to be being sold to a larger lender, which is often the case with more traditional financing. Since our branch will be keeping responsibility for the loan, we have more freedom in terms of who can be declared eligible.
Usually, these loans are a good choice for those with non-cookie-cutter finances or who are interested in higher-risk properties. If you’re self-employed, have some credit issues, or intend to tackle a tricky flip, you may be a good candidate.
Armed Forces Bank's portfolio loan programs include:
- Homeowner’s Access - Allows you to have several 30-day late or 60-day late payments within the last year.
- Fresh Start Program - For those looking to rebuild credit after a bankruptcy, foreclosure, or short sale.
- 1-4 unit Residential Investment Program.
