FNMA HomeStyle
Fannie-Mae (FNMA) allows borrowers to purchase or refinance a house and renovate, improve, add-on, and/or make luxury upgrades through its Homestyle loan. Renovations/improvements/additions can be up to 50% of the as-completed value of the home with just this single loan. As long as the renovations/improvements/additions are permanently affixed and add value to the property, the funds can be used for most anything.
Below are a few features of the FNMA Homestyle program:
- Purchase or Refinance
- Only 5% Down Payment required (purchase)
- Gift funds for down payment & closing costs allowed for primary residence, after minimum contribution of 3% down payment
- Borrower against home’s future value. Renovations can be up to 50% of home’s as completed value.
- 3% Seller Contribution allowed on purchase
- Cosmetic and rehabilitation renovations allowed
- Miscellaneous improvements allowed like landscaping, swimming pools, and more!
