Borrow up to 90% of your future home value with a RenoFi Renovation Loan.
Three years after moving in, Michael & Jenna completed their entire renovation wish list with a RenoFi Loan 💪🏻.
RenoFi Loans use the After Renovation Value instead of the home's current value, enabling the most borrowing power at the lowest rates available through our partner network. Thanks to RenoFi, homeowners now have a smart way to finance their renovation and tackle everything on their wishlist.

Lenders offering RenoFi Loans may charge closing costs and fees as they would for any home equity loan. Closing costs vary by lender and for RenoFi Home Equity Loans range from several hundred dollars ($700-$800) up to 1% of the loan amount. These costs typically include an origination fee, title and escrow fees, tax certifications, recording fees, other underwriting costs paid by the consumer to the lender, and may include title insurance for higher loan amounts. Closing costs do not include the cost of the appraisal. The average appraisal cost is around $700, but can be in excess of $1000 depending on renovation size, complexity, and geographic location. It is important to note that the lender is taking the application and making a loan decision and that it is possible that you pay for an appraisal and are not approved for a loan.
During the renovation, some lenders may charge a monthly fee or a higher rate, but this is temporary and will cease once the renovation completes and RenoFi issues a certificate of completion.
RenoFi provides lenders with our Renovation Underwriting services. These services include a thorough review of the renovation project cost and scope, due diligence on the contractor, reconciliation of the appraisal and monitoring of renovations in progress. As such, if you decide to proceed with a RenoFi Loan, we will be paid for these services by the partner lender. RenoFi doesn’t charge any fees to homeowners and there is no obligation to obtain a RenoFi Loan.
Embarking on a home renovation project is an exciting milestone. RenoFi's resources will help you get started and make the right decisions along the way.
