Wondering how you'll finance your dream kitchen? Need a new roof and want to avoid tapping into savings? There are many home improvement loans designed for just these scenarios. Three popular home improvement loans are: home equity loans (or lines of credit), construction loans and combined home purchase and rehab loans. |

Among the most common home improvement loans are those tied to your home equity. Home equity loans and lines of credit allow you to borrow against the equity in your home to finance the remodeling. Among the advantages to these home improvement loans is the low interest rate and tax benefits. (In many cases, the interest is tax deductible). Construction loans are home improvement loans that cover a variety of scenarios - from large home remodeling to land purchases and custom home building projects. In these scenarios a loan officer may help disburse funds to the contractors. This helps ensure that the contractor has completed work before receiving payment. The third key home improvement loan is one that combines funds for a home purchase with funds for remodeling. This type of financing is important for those buying properties to rehab, as it allows them to borrow against what the house value likely will be after the remodeling.
