Hi I was under the impression that if I were to go to the bank and ask to refinance it that they would send out an appraiser and the appraised value as the house sits now would only be about $10,000 that is not enough to fix the house up. But if I were to fix it up the house would be worth $45-55k
Where do we look for rehab money to fix up a house in Pennsylvania we own the house free and clear but cant figure out how to find money to fix it up. Credit is like 600 just a bit better than that. Any suggestions?

If it’s an investment property you can use a hard money lender. They’ll base the loan off the after repaired value. You may run into problems with the loan amount. If it’s under $50k, many hml wont do it.
You could get a mortgage loan with the disbursement of the funds as progress payments. In other words, you would register a loan against the property and receive the money when certain renovations have met the banks criteria.
