If you are planning a remodel or addition
to your home, major or minor, you may be considering financing
the cost. This might be a good opportunity to refinance your first mortgage
while rolling in the remodeling costs. You also might consider consolidating
your bills or taking out some additional cash. Instead of refinancing
your mortgage, you might consider taking out a second mortgage or opening
a "home
equity line of credit".
We have a few articles to help answer your questions and provide guidance
on your various options. Refer to the menu to the left to find articles
about home improvement finance options and other useful information.
Use our financial calculators below to estimate the equity
in your home, or the payments on a home equity loan or refinanced
first mortgage.
