-Would it be better to ask for the down payment loan and construction loan from the same party, or are there any advantages to seeking loans for renovation costs elsewhere, such as HMLs or even credit cards?

There's plenty of horrible agents out there since the bar is so low, but if you find a good one make sure you communicate that you're open to working with them exclusively (written contract or not) for a period of time. 

No other debt.I have 2 CCs I pay off every month and a 810 credit score.
