Who Benefits from a Personal Loan for Home Improvement?

Any homeowner who needs money to fix or improve their home is a good candidate for a home improvement loan, including:

You don’t want to use your home for collateral
Unlike with a second mortgage or home equity line of credit, you’re not securing your loan with your home as collateral.

You don’t need a lot of money
While personal loans come in amounts as low as $2,000, second mortgages and HELOCs are based on your equity and you could end up borrowing more than you need.

Your credit card APR is high
Rather than using your credit card for home improvement at high interest, you could get a personal loan at a lower APR and save hundreds or thousands of dollars in interest

You don’t have savings or don’t want to use all your savings
You don’t have to bleed your savings account dry or take money out of your retirement account.

Home Improvement Loan FAQs

Learn more about home improvement loans.

What is the downside to a home equity loan?

When you use home equity to fix up your home, in the event you get behind on that loan or can’t pay, you could lose your home, even if you are on-time with your mortgage payments.

Can I payoff a home improvement loan early?

In most cases you can pay off a personal loan early but check with your lender to see if there’s a prepayment penalty on your loan.

How much does it cost to get a home improvement loan?

Most lenders have an origination fee, but you may find that the fees associated with obtaining a personal loan are less than those that come with a home equity loan. One big difference is that you usually have to pay for a home appraisal for any home improvement loan that uses your house as collateral.

Is a home improvement loan worth it?

Home improvements usually increase the value of your home and amplify the enjoyment and comfort of your home, so in that sense, a home improvement loan could be worthwhile. You will need to weigh the benefits based on your personal situation.
