Welcome to your Local Mortgage Report. My name is Lauren Hatmaker.

Is it time to tackle some BIG projects around the house?

Do you have a running list of “honey-do’s” that you’ve been meaning to get to? Or – maybe even finish?

My friends wanted to convert their current garage into a new bedroom and bathroom suite.

Their plans included a new detached garage and shop.

Since they didn’t have enough money for this large project based on their current value, we talked about a renovation loan.

With their builder’s plans and estimates, we had an appraisal done. That gave us the value after their project was completed.

Do you wish your house fit your family better?

Here’s what to do –

• List out the ideas you want to cover.
• Get a rough estimate from your builder.
• Talk to a renovation loan specialist – like me!

With the right team, your dreams can come true.
