1 Financing Options to support Energy Efficiency & Contractors

2 Renovation Loan Overview Renovation Loans offer a buyer the opportunity to buy a property and close as-is, financing both the purchase and repair money in one mortgage transaction. The appraisal assignment is done as if the property were complete and there is no requirement for a certificate of occupancy prior to closing. We close AS IS, payoff the seller and set up an escrow for repairs.
