Every month, ACAR has a column in Properties Magazine, Northeast Ohio’s monthly realty, construction and architecture magazine. We’ll share each column here so you can follow along.
This month’s theme is Renovation & Restoration, and our column, “Financing a Renovation When You Buy,” explains how buyers can roll the cost of repairs and upgrades into their home purchase loan. It covers FHA, conventional, VA and USDA renovation options, the types of properties that qualify, including multi-unit and mixed-use buildings, and why one loan can beat borrowing after closing.
Read the full column in the issue.
