The process involves careful planning, regular inspections, and adherence to the agreed-upon renovation schedule to ensure the project’s success and secure the necessary funding. Here’s how it work with most lenders that offer this product:
Initial Property Assessment:
- Lender appraises the property to determine its current as-is value and estimates its ARV based on the proposed renovations.
- Identify a property in need of renovation and approaches a lender for financing.
What You Should Know – ARV Loan Approval Process:
- The lender evaluates the borrower’s project plans, budget, and experience.
- The loan amount is typically based on a percentage of the ARV, often ranging from 65% to 75%.
For example, if the ARV is estimated at $1,000,000, the lender might approve a loan up to $700,000 (70% of ARV).
ARV Disbursement of Funds:
- The loan may cover both the purchase price of the property and the renovation costs.
- Funds for renovations are often released in stages, or draws, based on the completion of specified project milestones
- Inspections are conducted at each stage to ensure that the work is being completed according to the plan.
Interest Rates and Repayment:
- ARV construction loans are usually short-term loans with higher interest rates compared to traditional mortgages, reflecting the increased risk.
- Borrowers typically make interest-only payments during the renovation period.
- Once the project is completed and the property’s value has increased, the borrower can refinance into a long-term mortgage, sell the property, or pay off the loan through other means.
