The HomeStyle Renovation (HSR) mortgage provides a convenient and economical way for borrowers considering moderate home improvements to make repairs and renovations with a single-close first mortgage, rather than a second mortgage, home equity line of credit, or other, more costly methods of financing.
Clear Lending offers renovation loan mortgage programs that might be right for you.
Our HomeStyle Renovation program allows borrowers to combine the purchase or refinance of a home with the costs to renovate or extensively remodel the property. At closing, an interest-earning account will escrow all funds for renovation. After all renovation work is complete, any remaining funds in the renovation escrow account will help pay down the mortgage's principal balance.
Program Highlights:
• Include in renovation loan six months of mortgage payments if borrower must vacate the house (Loan + Taxes + Insurance).
• Finance up to 97% of your home purchase and renovation costs (Refinance allows max 75% for renovation costs).
• Eligible properties: 1 - 4 units, PUDs and manufactured homes.
• 15 and 30-year terms.
• Loans from $250,000 to $806,500.
• No Minimum Credit Score but Automated Underwriting System Approval.
• Renovation loans for primary, secondary, and investment homes.
• A minimum of a 10% and maximum of 15% contingency reserve is required and can be financed into the loan.
• Renovation funds are escrowed in an interest-bearing account.
• Finance soft costs (architectural services, engineering, permit fees, etc.).

Joan Gallardo and his team are an exceptional group who are devoted to helping others realize their goal of home ownership. Compassionate and conscientious business people are a rare find. As first time home buyer and new to Texas I had no map of the territory. Joan was a reassuring presence through the entire experience and I will always remember and endorse his company for excellence.
Joan:
Thank you so much for all your hard work to make this loan a successful ending. You know this is not my first house, but my family and I are very grateful. I am not a first time home buyer, but we are very excited to be a home owner again. I thank you from the bottom of my heart once more for making this possible. Yes, I will definitely refer anyone who comes to me for the inquiry. I will never forget you Joan and Nathalie for what you have done and how hard you worked to make my dream come true. You are very efficient and professional. I am glad that you are my loan officer. Thank you very much once again.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Rodriguez
One of my co-workers referred me to Joan Gallardo with Clear Lending. When I called him, he was in Spain. He proceeded to talk to me about my needs and concerns for a Home Equity Loan. He told me that someone from his office would be calling me. They did call me, that same day! Since then, I have been working with Jorge Balderas. He has been very helpful and always follows through with what he says and also follows up. I had talked with 3 other lenders before going to them and none of them gave me expertise service as Jorge has. My credit is not perfect, but I have worked hard after a divorce to get it where it is. I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel! Even if my loan does not get approved, I would highly recommend them. This is due to their expertise service, dedication to helping me, and professionalism.
