Check with New South Federal Savings. They have a refi and rehab program, I can’t remember what they call it but I used the program to rehab and refinance a property. Bought run down damaged triplex for 25,000, did 35,000 worth of work and after rehab the property was appraised at 103,000. That estimated value was submitted prior to rehab and the bank was able to lend the entire value of the mortgage. After rehab we had an automatic 63,000 in equity. Sweet
