Ask about renovation financing for this home
With a fixer-upper, you can often finance the home and the repairs together — loans like the FHA 203(k) and Fannie Mae HomeStyle roll the purchase price and the cost of the work into one mortgage. Whether this home qualifies and what it would take are confirmed with a lender. Tell us you're interested and we'll help you explore the options.
