VA Renovation Loans: A Veteran’s Dream
Are you a veteran looking to purchase a home that needs a little TLC? The VA Renovation Loan program is designed to help you finance both the purchase and renovation costs in a single loan.
Why Choose a VA Renovation Loan?
- Flexible Financing: The VA Renovation Loan offers a streamlined process to finance both the purchase price and necessary repairs.
- Low Down Payment: Veterans can benefit from the VA’s zero down payment requirements, making homeownership more accessible.
- Competitive Interest Rates: VA loans often come with competitive interest rates, saving you money in the long run.
- No PMI: VA loans typically don’t require private mortgage insurance (PMI), further reducing your monthly costs.
How Does it Work?
The VA Renovation Loan program allows you to roll the cost of repairs and renovations into your mortgage. This means you can purchase a fixer-upper and finance the necessary improvements simultaneously.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Find a VA-Approved Lender: Work with a lender who understands the VA loan program and can guide you through the process. Lets be honest your best bet it to talk to Jeremy Drobeck. He served in the Marine Corps and has closed 100’s of renovation loans!
- Get Pre-Approved: Obtain a pre-approval letter from your lender to demonstrate your financial readiness. Click here to get started on the preapproval.

- Hire a Qualified Contractor: Select a contractor who is experienced in working with VA renovation loans. Develop a detailed budget for the renovation project, outlining the costs of materials and labor.
- The Loan Process: It takes about 30 days to get the appraisal, vet the contractor, and all the other things that happen to get everything ready to close.
- Close on the Loan: Once the purchase and renovation plans are approved, you’ll close on your loan.
- Work Begins: Now that you own the home the contractor can go in and start the work.

Unlocking Homeownership: Supporting Loved Ones with the Family Opportunity Mortgage Program
For many, the dream of homeownership remains a significant milestone. But what if you could help a close family member achieve that dream, even if they face financial hurdles? The Family Opportunity Mortgage Program, often referred to as the Family Assist Program, is a specialized mortgage solution designed to do just that – empower families to support loved ones in purchasing a home.
What is the Family Opportunity Mortgage Program?
This unique program was created to address a common challenge: families who want to assist elderly parents, adult children with disabilities, or other qualifying relatives in buying a home, but where the assisting family member might not be able to occupy the home themselves, or where the assisted family member faces challenges meeting traditional mortgage qualifications alone. It essentially allows family members to secure financing for a loved one’s primary residence, often with more favorable terms than a standard investment property loan.
