Can I borrow against my rental property to remodel it?

Profile picture for MrRoyL
I have an investment property I bought out of foreclosure and it is paid for. It needs quite a bit of work to get it back into rentable condition and I want to get it done fast, as in hire a contractor, instead of doing it myself. For this, I would need to borrow money and was wondering if I can borrow against the property and use the rental income to pay it back. What would be the best option?

Sounds like you may be able to use the Fannie Mae Homestyle programs. The amount of the repairs cannot exceed 50% of the as completed value, minimum credit score = 720, 740 if self-employed. Let me know if this is something that may interest you.

Thanks,

Mark

And as we all know, FHA 203K is available for investment properties.

The  FHA 203K allows for you to include the cost of the repairs into your loan.This is perhaps your best route.

If the property is in rough shape, getting  a conventional loan may be an issue. There are also prohibitions in place on cash out refinancing within a certain period after purchasing. You should look into rehab/constuction loans locally.
