Financing options for apartment renovation projects. Bridge loans, HUD programs, PACE financing, and capital improvement funding in Houston.
Renovation capital comes from many sources. Understanding your options helps you choose the right financing structure for your project's scope, timeline, and return profile.
Short-term (12-36 month) loans specifically for value-add renovation. Higher interest rates (7-12%) but fast funding (2-4 weeks). Ideal for buy-renovate-refinance strategies. Loan-to-cost ratios typically 75-85%.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac offer supplemental loans for capital improvements on stabilized properties. Lower rates (5-7%) but longer approval timelines. Best for properties with existing agency debt.
FHA-insured construction/renovation loans with 40-year terms and low fixed rates. Best for large-scale renovations ($5M+). Complex application process (6-12 months) but excellent long-term financing for major repositioning projects.
Property Assessed Clean Energy financing covers energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy improvements. Repaid through property tax assessments over 20-25 years. Available in Texas. No personal guarantee required.
Established properties should maintain capital reserves of $250-$500 per unit annually for ongoing renovation needs. Reserve studies help predict future capital requirements and avoid emergency funding situations.
