Most homeowners qualify to finance an ADU several financing options are available. One popular option is refinancing your current loan and pulling out equity to finance your ADU. ADU budgets can start out at $80,000 but most will range in $200,000 to $300,000.
Not all homeowners will have sufficient equity for an ADU, then you can consider renovation loans from HUD & Fannie Mae. The key advantage is these loans are based on the future value of the property. Anytime a renovation adds square footage, it’s highly valued and appraised.
Other loans are also available that can be considered: constructions loans, jumbo loans & hard money loans.

Utilize up to 80% equity of your home to fund the ADU. This offers a lower interest rate and terms available in construction

Using funds from a Cash-out Refinance to consolidate debt may result in the debt taking longer to pay off as it will be combined with borrower’s mortgage principal amount and will be paid off over the full loan term. Contact OriginPoint, LLC for more information.

The Origin Point home equity line of credit (HELOC) is an open-end product where the full loan amount (minus the origination fee) will be 100% drawn at the time of origination. The initial amount funded at origination will be based on a fixed rate; however, this product contains an additional draw feature. As the borrower repays the balance on the line, the borrower may make additional draws during the draw period. If the borrower elects to make an additional draw, the interest rate for that draw will be set as of the date of the draw and will be based on an Index, which is the Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal for the calendar month preceding the date of the additional draw, plus a fixed margin. Accordingly, the fixed rate for any additional draw may be higher than the fixed rate for the initial draw. This product is currently only available in California, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Washington, Illinois, Washington DC, and Indiana. The HELOC requires you to pledge your home as collateral, and you could lose your home if you fail to repay. Property insurance is required as a condition of the loan and flood insurance may be required if your property is located in a flood zone. Borrowers must meet minimum lender requirements in order to be eligible for financing. Available for primary, second homes and investment properties only. Dependent on minimum credit score and debt-to-income requirements. Occupancy status, lien position and credit score are all factors to determine your rate and max available loan amount. Not all applicants will be approved. Applicants subject to credit and underwriting approval. Contact Origin Point for more information and to discuss your individual circumstances. Restrictions Apply.
