Non Cash Options For Home Renovation

June 16, 2023

If you’re ready to give your house a makeover but don’t have a big budget, don’t worry! I’ve got two options for you. First up, there’s the home equity line of credit (HELOC). With a HELOC, you can access your home’s equity for upgrades whenever you need it. I can even connect you with preferred lenders who can help you explore this option. Another possibility is a home renovation loan, which can be a bit more complex in terms of financing and contractor approval. It’s important to think about whether you want to improve your home to sell or to enjoy living in it. If you love your current layout and location, renovating might be the right path. But if you’re not attached to the neighborhood, it might be time to consider a new home. While cash is the simplest option for renovations, keep in mind that there are creative solutions and alternative options available. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need guidance. I’m here to help you connect with the right resources and make your renovation dreams a reality.
