About Me

What is the Renovation Mortgage Program?

Renovation mortgages allow homebuyers/homeowners to purchase/refinance a home plus make improvements.

·        One application, one loan approval, one closing and one monthly mortgage payment.

·        Financing based on an appraiser’s estimated “After Improved Value” of the property.

·        Conventional Homestyle and FHA 203K loan options are available.

·        Owner-occupied, second home and investment properties are available.

·        Finance homes in most any condition.

·        Renovation can be for remodels/repairs/upgrades/square footage additions, accessory dwelling units (ADU)

Who can benefit from Renovation Mortgage Loans?

Homebuyers can:

·        Purchase and Renovate less than perfect home where traditional financing is not an option due to the current property “as is” conditions.

·        Address property health, safety and code violation problems.

·        Finance homes in most any condition and make improvements from basic repairs or upgrades, to extensive additions or renovations

·        Owner-occupied, second home and investment properties are available.

·        Pay for the improvements over the course of the mortgage term

Homeowners can:

·        Remodel, upgrade or expand to enhance the value of their home

·        Finance the expense of remodel projects or home repairs

Real Estate Agents can:

·        Move hard to sell listings by helping potential buyers envision remodeling possibilities

·        Overcome the challenges of selling a home in need of repairs, such as aged homes or fixer uppers.

·        Make seller aware of mortgage with renovation financing so they can list their fixer upper “as is” without making any repairs and market this financing option with their listing

·        Makes aged properties more marketable to new generation of buyers that are interested in purchasing and remodeling homes.

·        Increases the number of potential buyers, sets the agent apart from their competition.

Investors can:

·        Purchase a property that is in need of repairs, updates or structural additions.

·        Project flexibility – Improvements can range from basic repairs or upgrades, to more extensive additions or remodels

Contractors can:

·        Provide their customers with information about mortgages with renovation financing and connect them with a renovation loan specialist

·        Customers can move with their project sooner

·        Complete the improvements as planned without compromising on budget

Neighborhood civic groups can:

·        Promote renovation mortgages to advance community revitalization and beautification projects

Hello My name is Glen and I had the pleasure of working with Thomas Bouda. This was an awesome experience refinancing my home and being approved for the CalHFA's ADU Grant Program. This program allowed In February of 2022 the grant was $25000 for Homeowners and by April of 2022 the grant increased to $40000. My original interest rate was 4.375% and it decreased to 3.75% by Thomas buying down the interest rate. This was truly a blessing and Thomas professionalism in updating his clients with pertinent information was remarkable. Thomas took the time to answer all my questions and concerns in a timely manner which was appreciated. If your looking for someone to provide all your refinancing CalHFA grants and ADU projects I recommend Thomas Bouda. If your looking for someone who is vested in your best interest prioritizing you as a client and getting fast results I recommend Thomas Bouda. Sincerely Glen Godfrey

Thomas was fantastic! My case was not an easy one - but the time care and effort he put in to the case and to keep me informed helped make a complicated process feel a lot more understandable and manageable. Couldn't have done it without him!

Thomas was very helpful and very professional. I can tell when someone is not knowledgeable enough or doesn't really care about their job. Thomas was always on point and he was there to answer any questions through the whole loan process. He managed to win our trust with our investment. At first I was a bit skeptical about Guild mortgage but Thomas showed me that Guild mortgage is a solid company. I had always known about the disaster of the entire housing market of 2008 with all of the sub prime mortgages but I found out the Guild never did deal with sub prim mortgages. That to me was peace of mind.
