Luminate Bank Interim Renovation Loan Guide

What Types of Properties Are Eligible for an Interim Construction Loan?

Eligible property types include single-family homes, modular homes, manufactured homes (for primary and second homes), and eligible 2–4 unit investment properties. The program is available for primary residences, second homes, and investment properties.

Property Type and Occupancy — Both Matter

The Luminate Bank Interim Renovation Loan supports a practical range of residential property types while covering primary, second-home, and investment occupancy. That combination is what makes the product useful for both homeowners renovating in place and investors running large rehabs or flips.

Before you write an offer or schedule a contractor, confirm the property type, occupancy, and renovation scope meet matrix guidelines — especially for manufactured homes and multi-unit investments, which often need earlier underwriting review.

Ryan and Steve help you clear property eligibility alongside credit, LTV, and draw logistics so you do not discover a deal-breaker mid-underwriting.
