Alerts are a great way for you to stay up-to-date on things you care about. We will email you a list of the new items that match your criteria at a time of your choosing.
Is it time? If you want it improved so you enjoy the property more it is. I'm not sure what numbers you are waiting for to do improvements. If you can afford it, and can stay within the values of your neighborhood, go for it. But remember, your home is worth what someone will pay for it when you are ready to sell.
You may also take a look at your local market.
If it takes $50,000 to make you happier - You may be able to move-up into a much better home for the same additional $50,000 investment.
Just a thought.........
Thanx, D
Have no idea if you can afford it with the information listed. If you do not do anything else combine those two mortgages. Terms on the second will always be high and banks want out of them in the first place.
Find a good broker in your area. If your in Indiana email me. Let the broker find out what your are looking for so they may present options.
Good Luck

What things do you want to improve? Do you want to do that work yourself, or have contractors come in and complete the work?

Featured Rates are based on state rates for 5/1 ARM loans and are valid for the date shown, but they may change without notice. They are for consumers with a credit rating of 720 or higher and a 20% or higher down payment. Rate, terms, pre-paid finance charges, and APR may vary based on factors such as creditworthiness of the applicant(s), self employment status of the applicant(s), condo or townhouse structure, loan amount, and geographic location of the property.
If a lender does not offer a national rate, a state rate may be shown next to the lender's name. For example, 'Bank name (CA)'.
