Rehab Loans for Acquisition & Renovation

Structure purchase and rehab financing around your renovation scope, draw schedule, ARV, and exit. Compare investor loan options with Pillar.

Business-purpose investment financing. Options are subject to lender and property review.

One project, two funding needs

Acquisition capital closes the purchase; renovation capital pays for the work that creates value. A rehab loan review should distinguish those needs and show when cash is required. Pillar helps evaluate available structures against your scope, contractor plan, and intended sale or rental exit.

Understand what rehab financing actually covers

Some structures may fund eligible renovation costs through draws, but funding the rehab budget is different from funding the entire purchase and project. Confirm the approved scope, borrower contribution, draw inspections, reimbursements, and contingency reserves. Ask which costs are eligible and what you must contribute; full rehab funding, where available, does not mean a zero-cash project.

Build the exit into the budget

For a resale, include holding costs, sales costs, and a realistic after-repair value. For a rental hold, test the completed property's rent and likely permanent financing. Large structural work, permitting, or an incomplete project can change which lender and structure fit.

Questions before you apply

Is acquisition plus rehab financing a no-money-down loan?

No. Even when eligible rehab costs are financed, you may need funds for acquisition equity, closing costs, reserves, and draw timing. Confirm the complete cash requirement.

Can I use a rehab loan for my own home?

These programs are described for business-purpose investment projects. Owner-occupied renovations require a different financing review.

Capital options shaped around your deal

Pillar combines technology with advisor-led structuring, reviewing multiple lender and capital options against your property, timeline, and exit plan.
