Financing advice for a renovation project on second home
I own a second home in Michigan. I am looking for advice on how I should go about financing some renovations.
Current Mortgage balance $140,000.
Estimated repair costs $75,000. Not enough equity in subject property based on current value.
According to the Realtor, ARV would be $315,000 - $335,000.
Last time I looked my FICA score was in the excellent range
My DTI including the subject property is way less than the typical 45% requirement.
Any help, advice, would be greatly appreciated.
Christine
