Please review the important tips listed below about Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation Mortgages and home improvement projects:

• For the HomeStyle Renovation Mortgage, you do not receive any cash at the loan closing. The funds provided for renovation are placed in an interest-bearing escrow account (Renovation Escrow Account).
• The lender may require that a contingency reserve be placed in the Renovation Escrow Account to cover unforeseen repairs or deficiencies during the renovation. If funds remain after the renovation is complete, they can be applied to additional elective repairs or improvements or can be used to reduce the principal balance. If you deposit funds into the account, the funds you deposited can be paid directly back to you at your option.
• When selecting a contractor, always review the contractor’s references, licensing, and financial background. Ask the lender for a Contractor Profile form to assist in your review, or locate one at www.efanniemae.com.

HomeStyle Renovation

A renovation mortgage allows the home buyer to amortize the cost of renovations over the “life of the loan.” You get to spread the cost over your 30-year mortgage. The HomeStyle Renovation mortgage enables a borrower to obtain a purchase transaction mortgage and receive funds to cover the costs of repairs, remodeling, renovations or energy efficient improvements to the property.

There are no required improvements or restrictions on the types of repairs allowed or a minimum dollar amount for the repairs. Repairs or improvements, however, must be permanently affixed to the real property and add value to the property. With a minimum of 5% down payment you can finance the purchase and remodeling of your dream home.
