Tips for Affording ‘Emergency’ Home Improvement Projects

If you own a house, you know it requires work to keep it up to community standards. At some point, you’re going to want to have some home improvement projects done but you’ll probably be worried about the cost. Homeowners, though, have several options when it comes to paying for home improvement projects.

Besides using cash, which is great if you’ve got plenty of it, you can also consider several other ways to pay for projects. How about refinancing your mortgage, taking out a home equity line of credit, or a home equity/construction loan? You could also borrow from your 401(k) or put the payment on a credit card.

Government loans that can help finance home repairs include the Federal Housing Administration 203k loan and the FHA Title 1 loan.

If you’re over the age of 62, you might consider a reverse mortgage.
