A new streamlined loan program allows buyers to create the home of their dreams!

Seattle, Wa. –

Homebuyers in the Seattle market are growing frustrated at the lack of available homes. With so few properties available, move-in-ready homes are receiving multiple offers with escalating prices. It doesn’t take long before the average buyer is priced out of the market.

But buyers now have a new tool that can help them purchase the right property, at a much more affordable price. It may even help them create instant equity.

“Renovation financing is now available to everyone,” says the Seattle Mortgage Professor, long-time mortgage strategist Carl A. Self.

What was once the domain of real estate investors and those who qualified for neighborhood-specific assistance programs. But today, homebuyers with as little as three-percent down payment are eligible to purchase and renovate the home of their choice.

“There are plenty of homes on the market that affordable, but need repairs and updates. This is a unique opportunity for the buyer to create their “dream home”, where before, it was a long and frustrating search. Especially with a shortage of move-in-ready homes on the market,” says Self.

In a today’s market, sellers are no longer motivated to update or repair homes before putting them on the market. Before this new program, buyers had to come to the table with repair and update funds. Today, they can choose renovation financing simply and easily.

“It’s one application,” says Self. “It’s no more time and effort than a conventional loan, and you get the house you want.”
