South Carolina renovation loans allow home buyers to turn a house with solid bones into a home with all the special features and characteristics in the dream home they desire.
This type of mortgage loan is perfect for buyers who want (or need) financing to make repairs, additions or updates to a newly purchased house. A home renovation loan is a financing vehicle that combines the purchase price of a house with an anticipated cost of renovations into a single, typically low-rate, primary mortgage loan.
