Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Apply for a home equity loan or a home equity line of credit. These use the current value of your home to allow you to get some extra cash.
2. Refinance your existing mortgage. Lower interest rates make this a popular alternative. You can refinance your home, and take the extra cash to complete your remodel.
3. Find a construction loan. These loans are specifically designed for people who are about to undergo a remodeling project.
4. Take out a personal loan. You might be surprised at the amount of money you can get simply by taking out a personal loan at your local bank.
5. Use your savings. You can tap into your savings account, and you can even use money that has built up in your 401K.
6. Charge it to your credit card. Some credit cards can have a high enough limit that you can remodel even the biggest projects using your credit card.
7. Ask about store credit. Some businesses have a store credit card you can use, and many of them have special promotions for people who open a new credit card. And other businesses finance your bill without a credit card. Ask about special offers, like 6 months same as cash, so you can avoid paying interest on the loan.
