Renovation loan or traditional and pay for renovation out-of-pocket?

I’m curious about what the best route on a renovation loan versus just a loan against the actual purchase price of the house in a pricey neighborhood and footing the renovation cost. Quite literally the worst house in the best neighborhood.

Let’s say $500k purchase and $200k renovation, $800-900k post renovation appraisal.

I’m wondering if it’s better to pay for them separately, or bundle them all together in a renovation loan and have to pay for the mortgage at the new appraised cost, as opposed to the purchase price.

I understand taxes are always a thing, but I’m curious if doing them separately and anticipating paying taxes at the end of the year would be a cost save in the long run.

We have a nice inherited nest egg that we’re not touching and we want to make this work within our current means. Without disclosing too much, we’re in a house with a $2,400 mortgage now and could comfortably 2x it. We also have 400-600k coming within the next 5 years that I plan on 1031 exchanging into our mortgage. Just can’t predict when based on multiple factors.

TIA!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

warning about Biggins and Scott Brunswick

his is a general warning for people who use this agency to rent a property. I am going to share a disgusting experience that I had with the above agency. I was new to the rental experience after a marriage breakdown so I answered a add on Real Estate .com and met a guy in Maribyrnong to look over a apartment . He suggested he was not only going to be my roommate, but he also worked at the company in Brunswick. All looked good and myself and a lovely lady moved in to the apartment in late March. Everything was going well ,we were paying our rent and things were moving forward with 3 people coming from different age groups and different upbringings. Then on the 25th of June out of nowhere 3 Breach Notices appeared on my email from my roommate but on Biggins and Scotts letterhead. I was completely surprised and after trying to reason with the sender of these documents, I then decided I had to call his boss the Director of Biggin and Scott in Brunswick. David told me that he was ...
