HomeStyle® Renovation
Fannie Mae HomeStyle Renovation allows borrowers to purchase or refinance a property and its renovations all in one loan, with one closing. This includes unfinished new construction when 90% or more of the home build is complete.
CHOICERenovation®
Freddie Mac CHOICERenovation enables borrowers to purchase a home that may need repairs (or refinance the mortgage on their existing home) and include the renovation costs in the loan balance.

Freddie Mac CHOICEReno eXPress is for homes in need of small-scale repairs. Like CHOICERenovation, this loan enables borrowers to include the necessary funds for renovations into the mortgage balance.
