The HomeStyle Renovation (HSR) mortgage provides a convenient and economical way for borrowers considering moderate home improvements to make repairs and renovations with a single-close first mortgage, rather than a second mortgage, home equity line of credit, or other, more costly methods of financing.
Clear Lending offers renovation loan mortgage programs that might be right for you.
Our HomeStyle Renovation program allows borrowers to combine the purchase or refinance of a home with the costs to renovate or extensively remodel the property. At closing, an interest-earning account will escrow all funds for renovation. After all renovation work is complete, any remaining funds in the renovation escrow account will help pay down the mortgage's principal balance.
Program Highlights:
• Include in renovation loan six months of mortgage payments if borrower must vacate the house (Loan + Taxes + Insurance).
• Finance up to 97% of your home purchase and renovation costs (Refinance allows max 75% for renovation costs).
• Eligible properties: 1 - 4 units, PUDs and manufactured homes.
• 15 and 30-year terms.
• Loans from $250,000 to $806,500.
• No Minimum Credit Score but Automated Underwriting System Approval.
• Renovation loans for primary, secondary, and investment homes.
• A minimum of a 10% and maximum of 15% contingency reserve is required and can be financed into the loan.
• Renovation funds are escrowed in an interest-bearing account.
• Finance soft costs (architectural services, engineering, permit fees, etc.).

If you want a hard working loan officer Joan Gallardo is the one. Joan worked on our loan day and night plus he was always available whenever we had questions. I learned a lot from him about residential loans in the process. Thanks Joan!
Joan was great, very transparent, and got me almost a percent lower with less money out of pocket than what my builder's lender was offering! Highly recommend
I highly recommend Joan. I reached out to Clear Lending because I was not receiving information and good customer service from the first mortgage company I reached out to. Joan was extremely professional,informative and patient. He spoke to me for over 45 minutes and answered so many questions that I had as a first-time home buyer. I was looking for the Michael Jordan of mortgage brokers and Joan at Clear Lending is exactly that! He definitely cares and works very hard To help his clients in any way that he can.
