Apply for your Home Improvement Loan and Get Approved in Minutes!

Home improvement financing can easily be secured through your home lending institution via an home equity loan. Home improvements are the biggest motivator for opening a home equity line of credit in the first place. One hangup here is of note. Because of the recent meltdown in housing prices, your home may not be worth as much as it was 4-5 years ago. This may impact your ability to borrow as much as you need to secure your improvement. As a rule of thumb you can only expect to borrow up to 75% of your equity. Therefore, get a read on your equity first.

Another way to secure financing is to apply for a personal loan. a loan based on your credit. These loans are readily available at every financial institution, and, if you ahve a postive credit history, it should not be a problem securing this type of loan. A word of caution here, just because you qualify for a loan that does not mean that you need one. Responsible borrowing starts with the applicant, not the lending institution.

There are some home improvement companies that will finance your repairs themselves. This may be a convenient one-stop shopping experience,but check the interest being charged on the loan, and ask for a price on the home improvement with and without in-house financing. The main reason for this is to ensure that he price charge for the home improvements do not fluctuate depending on whether you chose to finance with the company doing the improvements. The price for the actual improvement should be the same or sometimes even lower for the repairs themselves.
