How to Finance Your Remodel: HELOCs, ARVs & Real Costs Explained!
Manage episode 523542671 series 3705849
In this episode, I sit down with renovation-financing expert Megan Safara from RenoFi to finally break down how homeowners can really fund their remodels. Most families want to upgrade their space — but very few understand how renovation loans, HELOCs, ARVs, and ADU/DADU financing actually work in 2025.
We talk about the biggest mistakes people make before starting a remodel, how using your home’s future value can unlock the budget you need today, and why paying cash isn’t always the smartest move. If you’re thinking about an addition, a kitchen expansion, a DADU, or a full home update, this episode will help you make decisions with confidence — and avoid costly surprises.
If you’re planning a remodel anywhere in the Greater Seattle Area, this conversation will give you a clear roadmap for financing it the right way.
