I’m new to this and need some Guidance

I currently pay a mortgage (4 yrs now). I want to potentially rent it out in the future, however, I’m going to need to take out a loan to rewire the house, replace some appliances, etc. I’m thinking about 10-15k will take care everything. What’s the best type of loan to take out for home improvement?

If you live in the property, and have enough equity, you can likely qualify for a HELOC (Home-Equity Line of Credit). With a HELOC you can withdraw money as needed. You could also do a cash-out refinance where you refinance the property with another mortgage in order to pay off the old mortgage with enough cash leftover for the repairs.
