Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about basement finishing projects.
Credit score requirements vary by loan type. Personal loans may accept scores as low as 580, while home equity loans typically require 620+. Construction loans generally need 680+. We work with multiple lenders to find options for various credit profiles.
Approval times vary by loan type. Personal loans can be approved in 1-7 days, contractor financing often provides same-day approval, while home equity and construction loans typically take 30-60 days due to property appraisals and more extensive underwriting.
Loan amounts depend on the financing type and your qualifications. Personal loans go up to $100,000, home equity loans can reach 80% of your home's equity, and construction loans may cover up to 95% of the project value. We'll help determine your maximum borrowing capacity.
Most of our financing options do not have prepayment penalties, allowing you to pay off your loan early without additional fees. However, some promotional rate programs may have specific terms. We'll clearly explain all terms before you commit to any loan.
Yes! Getting pre-approved helps you understand your budget and shows contractors you're a serious buyer. For some loan types, you'll need contractor estimates, but we can provide conditional pre-approval based on your financial profile and estimated project costs.
We recommend borrowing slightly more than your initial estimate to account for potential overruns. Construction loans offer flexibility with draw schedules. If additional funding is needed, we can help you explore options like personal loans or credit lines to cover the difference.
