I would like to thank all the advertisers for believing in the New and Improved Real Estate Book of Hartford County. I hope to be able to bring the booklet as the go-to magazine for not only real estate agents but for all those businesses who look to current and future home buyers and sellers in the Connecticut region.

I am looking to expand the advertising sections to include not only residential properties but investment and commercial properties as well.

I want to dedicate a section of the magazine for those properties that do not have another avenue for advertising those types of properties.

Please look for the Real Estate Book at all of Hartford County Stop n Shops and at your local diners and eateries. We hope to expand our book to many other locations throughout Hartford County. Please give us a chance as we are getting back on our feet !

Enjoy the magazine and if you would like your business featured in our magazine please give us a call or shoot us an email to get you into the next issue!

6 Ways

to Finance

A Renovation

If you’re planning to take on a home improvement project, you’re in good company. A recent report by the Joint Center of Housing Studies at Harvard University predicts that the home improvement industry is expected to post record-level spending this year.

As you prepare for your renovation, it’s important to review your financing options based on the size of the project, your intended repayment plan and whether you plan to use a contractor or do it yourself. Below are some financing options to consider as you talk things over with your lender.

Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)

A HELOC can provide ongoing access to funds using the equity in your home, which typically results in lower interest rates than unsecured credit. This type of credit may also provide you potential tax benefits.

Consult your tax advisor regarding the deductibility of interest.

Mortgages with Built-In Renovation Financing

These loans help homeowners complete renovations with a loan amount that is based on an appraiser’s estimate of what the property value will be with completed improvements. This is also an option for aspiring homeowners who purchase properties that need repair. Whether a home purchase or a refinance, this option finances the renovations and mortgage in one loan.

Personal Loans and Lines of Credit These personal credit options typically offer quick credit decisions and access to funds in a day. Lines of credit provide ongoing access to funds.

Credit Card

Credit cards can be used for large or small purchases and may earn rewards, which can add up to significant benefits when you’re making big home improvement purchases. However, credit cards often have higher interest rates than other loan or credit options, which should be taken into consideration.

Savings

If you have a do-it-yourself project or a small renovation, accessing your savings might be an option. By paying cash, there is faster access to funds and nothing to repay.

Cash-Out Refinance Mortgages

A cash-out refinance replaces your current mortgage with a new and larger mortgage that pays off your current balance and allows you to use the equity in your home to provide additional funds for other purposes.

Your bank or lender may not be the best source for what color to paint your room or which walls to move, but they can help you identify your financial options. Each option has its associated benefits and considerations, and your bank can provide valuable information to help you make informed decisions about which options are right for you.
