What is the HomeStyle Lite Pool Loan?
With a HomeStyle Lite Pool Loan, you can secure the mortgage for your new home and your dream pool all at once. Already own your home? You won’t need to think about getting a second mortgage or line of credit. The HomeStyle Lite Pool Loan was designed to be streamlined and simple, saving you time and money. With this renovation loan, the only work being done is adding a swimming pool. Here are the benefits that homebuyers and homeowners can enjoy with the HomeStyle Lite Pool Loan:
- The swimming pool is financed into the loan with a loan-to-value up to 95%.
- Your home’s appraised value is based on the finished project.
- The construction of the pool happens after the closing, reducing your wait time to move in.
- The seller is not involved in the pool’s construction.
- Your mortgage lender will handle the draw payments to the contractor until completion.
- No pest inspections are needed.
Who Benefits from a HomeStyle Lite Pool Loan?
Buying A New Home
Looking to purchase a new construction home but a pool is not currently in the builder’s plans? The HomeStyle Lite Pool Loan offers a win-win solution for both the buyer and the home builder. Buyers are able to qualify for a loan that includes the cost for both the house and the pool in a single closing, use a third-party pool company to install the pool, and fast-track pool construction so it can commence as soon as the home is closed. Builders are able to sell the home without needing to be involved in the installation and warranty of the pool and close the home without waiting for the pool to be completed.
Buying A Resale Home
If you’re looking to purchase an older home and want to personalize your space with a pool, consider HomeStyle Lite. The home seller is not involved in the pool construction, as the renovations will take place after the closing. The pool company will be paid through draws each month until the pool is completed. You’ll still benefit from a single closing, saving you time and money on your path to your dream home.
Refinancing Your Current Home
Already a homeowner and thinking about adding a pool? Take advantage of the HomeStyle Lite Pool Loan to cover the payoff of your existing mortgage, closing costs, prepaid expenses, and pool construction.
