With the available pool of hosuing stock dwindling in the Raleigh, Durham, and Cary markets, more and more buyers are turning to older homes. While many have larger lots, and mature landscaping, most havent been updated in decades, if at all.
More homeowners are seeking our renovation loans. Unlike buying a spec home, or a prebuilt new construction home, renovation loans allows the buyer to make ALL the decisions such as finishes, and architectual changes.
There are a lot of factors to consider when home shopping or remodeling. By including the cost of repairs in the mortgage, our renovation loan programs help you expand your options.

Renovation loan options include:
FHA 203k

- All permanently affixed improvements allowed, including “luxury” improvements
