loan for me?
We are a direct lender and are licensed to do loans
in nearly all 50 states. We have access to the best
mortgage loan programs across the country. As a direct
lender, we save you the time and hassle of calling each
lender yourself and having multiple inquiries showing
up on your credit reports.
Can
I make home improvements and pay off bills all at once?
Yes. We have mortgage loan programs that allow you to
reduce your monthly bills and make your home improvements,
all within the same loan. Some even allow you to get
extra cash!
Can
I qualify even if I already have a second mortgage?
Yes. You can get up to $40,000 for home improvements.
You may even be able to pay off your existing mortgage
and other bills as well.
Can
I get a loan if have a bankruptcy?
Yes. If it has been several years since the discharge
of debts and you have reestablished some good credit.
I'm
self-employed, is that okay?
Yes. If your current business has been profitable for
two years or more.
I've
been 30 days late on my mortgage, can I get a loan?
Yes. If your mortgage is current now, and you were only
30 days late one time in the last year.
Who
are the checks made out to?
For protection and control, home improvement amounts
are made payable to both you and the contractor. The
contractor endorses the check, you then deposit it into
your bank account, and disburse money to the contractor
as the work progresses.
What
is the fixed interest rate and closing costs?
All lenders set their rates and closing costs based
on several factors. Most important is your credit history.
The better it is, the lower the rate. Also, because
of favorable tax laws, loans that include some home
improvements have lower rates than those that only payoff
bills. Lastly, the more solid your job and income history
is, the lower your rate will be.
Can
I use different licensed contractors?
Yes. You can use multiple contractors for different
home improvements.
My home
is a condo or manufactured home, is that okay?
Yes. You can make home improvements on owner occupied,
permanently fixed foundation homes.
