Financing for your “fixer upper” properties

Have your eye on a home that’s a steal to purchase, but needs some tender loving care? Or maybe you want to build your own? Usually, you’re looking at two loans. One for purchase, the other for the renovation. Or, in the case of new construction, the work and then the permanent financing. Either way, it’s complicated and costly.

North American Mortgage Company has loans that do both. And you only have one set of paperwork to fill out. One set of loan approvals. One interest rate, throughout. Pick up the lumber and nails, and let’s start hammering!

203(k). A hard-to-find government loan that’s perfect for new home buyers. Low down payment (as little as three percent), and loan amounts up to 110 percent of the home’s after-improved value!

HomeStyle. Works similar to 203(k), but there are no restrictions to the type of home improvements you can make, such as luxury items. You can finance up to six months of mortgage payments during the renovation. And you can use up to 50 percent of the home’s after-improved value for improvements.
