    Rehab-to-permanent financing combines renovation financing and long-term financing into a single loan. It is designed for investors who want to buy, improve, and hold a property.

    How rehab-to-permanent financing works

    This type of financing typically begins as a short-term construction or renovation loan and may convert to long-term financing once the work is complete. The structure can simplify the transition from renovation to a permanent loan.

    Who it may suit

    Rehab-to-permanent financing may suit investors planning to buy, renovate, and hold a property as a rental. It can also fit homeowners purchasing a property that needs work. Eligibility varies by program and lender.

    What to consider

    Consider the renovation scope, the timeline, and how the permanent financing terms align with your long-term goals. Ramzi can help you review whether this approach fits your situation.
