RENOVATION FINANCING

Financing review for a property improvement plan.

The review should connect the current property, proposed improvements, budget, expected timeline, available equity, projected value, and intended repayment path.

A renovation review starts with the property as it stands today, then works through the proposed improvements, the budget behind them, and how the financing is expected to be repaid.
