FCS Financial - Ask the Expert: Can We Bundle a Farmhouse Purchase and Renovation into One Loan?
Ask an Expert • Rural Home & Property Loans

Question:

“I’m looking at a ‘fixer-upper’ farmhouse on 60 acres. Most traditional banks won’t touch a home on this much acreage. Does FCS Financial have a way to bundle the purchase and the renovation into one loan?”

Yes, FCS Financial can definitely help! We offer a “one time close” real estate loan that would include funds for purchasing the property as well as the future construction project (whether home improvements or even land improvements).

Prepare Your Construction Plans

In addition to the typical application and financial information needed at application time, please also provide as much information as you can regarding your construction plans (estimated cost, copies of bids, construction timeframe, etc.) to help your loan officer structure a loan amount, construction period length, and payment due dates that match your needs.

Ongoing Project Support

Depending on the size and complexity of the project, FCS Financial can often pay your construction invoices and help provide other services such as construction visits and lien waivers to help protect your investment.
