A Brownstoner reader is thinking of buying a townhouse that will need a gut renovation, and she is thinking about financing the project with a 203K or construction loan. She would like to hear from others who have used these loans to finance their own renovations. Any advice about pain points or what you would do differently? How long does the whole thing take and are there any types of renovations that wouldn’t be allowed?
