I’m looking to do some major rennovations on my house and figuring out the best way to finance it has been racking my brain. I just can’t figure out the pros & cons between refinancing, 2nd mortgages, home equity line of credits, etc.
A little background on the house, It is located in North NJ in a very high demand area. I bought the house over 6 years ago for $215k, it’s currently valued around $380k. Our current Mortgage is around $175k. I estimate my renovation to cost around $200k-$250k. We plan to be in this house for a long time. We’re looking to add a 2 car garage, extending the living room, redoing the kitchen and adding a master bedroom.
any advice on what direction I should head in and pifalls to look out for would be greatly appreciated.
