CHOICERenovation

Freddie Mac's flexible renovation loan, including disaster-resiliency and accessibility upgrades.

As low as 3% down

CHOICERenovation is Freddie Mac's renovation mortgage — a conventional program that finances a home purchase or refinance together with renovation costs in a single loan.

It stands out for explicitly covering resilience improvements: storm shutters, reinforced roofing, foundation hardening, and other upgrades that protect a home from natural disasters. Accessibility renovations for aging-in-place are also eligible.

Like HomeStyle, CHOICERenovation follows conforming loan limits, offers down payments as low as 3% for qualifying buyers, and avoids FHA's upfront mortgage insurance premium.

Best for

  • Disaster-resiliency and storm-hardening projects
  • Accessibility and aging-in-place renovations
  • Buyers comparing conventional alternatives to the 203k
  • Renovations on homes above FHA price ranges

Program terms, limits, and eligibility are set by the insuring or guaranteeing agency and vary by lender and county. A licensed renovation lender can confirm exactly what your scenario qualifies for.
