How to Finance Your ADU: Bank Loans & Equity Options
In this brief dialogue, the speakers discuss financing options for building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). They explain that homeowners with pre‑2020 purchases often have substantial home equity, which can be leveraged through a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) or a cash‑out refinance. They also note that renovation loan products are available through FHA, conventional, and VA programs, and specifically point to Fannie Mae’s Homestyle Renovation Loan, which can be funded with as little as a 5% down payment. The overall message is that multiple bank‑based financing routes exist for ADU construction, and homeowners should explore equity‑based loans and renovation‑specific loan programs.
