Purchase and Renovate Loan

Affordable Home Financing

Find a purchase and renovate loan

When you’re thinking about buying a fixer-upper or a home in need of significant repairs, a loan that allows you to combine the purchase and renovation cost may be the right mortgage product for you. With a purchase and renovate loan, you not only get money for the purchase price of the property but funds to cover cost of repairs and renovations as well.

The benefits of purchase and renovate loan programs include:

  • Taking a single loan to cover renovation as well as purchase or refinancing, helping to simplify your debt payments
  • Low mortgage rates and low down payment requirements for qualified borrowers
  • The opportunity to quickly build equity in your home by purchasing a property below market value and repairing or remodeling it to raise its worth

At eLEND, our knowledgeable Mortgage Loan Originators can help you with a mortgage comparison to determine if a loan to both purchase and renovate is the right program for you. As a leading provider of mortgages and loans online, we’re dedicated to providing affordable home financing options to both first-time buyers and existing homeowners. Our mortgage specialists are experts at understanding your financial goals and connecting you with the mortgage programs that best help you achieve them.
