A growing number of homeowners are eager to incorporate green features into their homes. These improvements can range from installing solar panels and energy-efficient windows to upgrading insulation and using sustainable materials. However, such projects often require significant funding. This is where The McNelly Team can guide you through your financing options to help make your dream of an eco-friendly home a reality.
When considering mortgage options for green renovations, the Energy Efficient Mortgage (EEM) is worth exploring. An EEM allows homeowners to incorporate the cost of energy-efficient improvements into their mortgage. This can result in lower monthly energy bills, making it an attractive option. The McNelly Team can assist in determining if the cost savings from reduced utility bills will outweigh the initial investment.
Another option available is the FHA 203(k) loan, which covers both the purchase of a property and the cost of significant renovations within a single mortgage. This loan is particularly beneficial for those looking to upgrade an older home to meet modern energy efficiency standards. With the help of The McNelly Team, you can navigate the complexities of a 203(k) loan, ensuring that every step of your renovation is well-funded.
For those not looking to integrate the renovation costs into a new mortgage, a home equity line of credit (HELOC) might be the answer. A HELOC offers the flexibility to borrow only what is needed when it is needed, and can be ideal for homeowners who wish to tackle renovations in phases. The McNelly Team is proficient in assisting clients to assess their equity and determine a borrowing limit that aligns with their renovation goals.
The rise of Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loans is another avenue worth consideration. PACE financing supports sustainability improvements and is repaid as an addition to the property tax bill. This method can finance everything from storm-proof windows to geothermal systems. While availability varies by region, The McNelly Team can help you understand if PACE loans are accessible in your area and beneficial for your project.
The benefits of eco-friendly renovations extend beyond personal savings and environmental impact. Homes with green certifications can see increased property value, making them more appealing if you consider selling in the future. The McNelly Team is adept at helping you evaluate how such investments can influence the market value of your home over time.
