Quote from @Jonathan Welch:

I purchased a home in October with a hard money loan and am nearly finished renovations.  I plan to live in the house.  The value of the house has gone up SIGNIFICANTLY due partially to cash invested, and primarily due to sweat equity.  I am being told by my mortgage broker that the only valuation that would be looked at is the original purchase price of the house because I haven't owned it for more than a year. 

Is this a "find a different lender" type of issue, or are there laws about this? I basically want to make sure I can access my equity. I'd like to take as much as I can without paying a penalty in the form of PMI or much higher interest rate.


Are equity lines different?  Can I take a regular mortgage and get a new equity line immediately after for 85% of the NEW value?  Just trying to understand options here and while I'm not new to home renovations, the creative financing party is new to me.


 The issue is you now want to live in it. If it was an investment property you could finance immediately but now that its owner occupied you will have to most likely wait. 

If your entire plan was to live in it, I would not have gotten a HML but worked with a lender on a renovation loan - as now you mine as well wait for your HML to mature (assuming 12 month loan) and refinance at that time.

If you go to get a HELOC, as investment most dont go above 60%

@Michael Cosstephens lots of lenders would (we do) . It's really the deal you make with the seller to lock them up but buy them over a period of time

You do not pay income tax on bank debt. It's really no different when you get the loan against the properry

we work with a good commercial loan officer if you ever need a recommendation
