Unlike home improvements or renovations that can be planned for, home repairs tend to be emergencies that need to be fixed ASAP.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, a home repair loan could help you get the funds you need to cover the expense.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here\u2019s what you should know about home repair loans:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#home-repair-personal-loans\">Home repair personal loans<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#options-home-repair-loans\">5 types of home repair loans<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-much-home-loan-cost\">How much will a home repair personal loan cost?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-apply-home-personal-loan\">How to apply for a home repair personal loan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#how-qualify-home-repair-loan\">How to qualify for a home repair personal loan<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#are-loans-tax-deductible\">Are home repair loans tax deductible?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#are-government-grants-home-repairs\">Are there any government grants available for home repairs?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#what-weatherization-program\">What is the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP)?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#do-need-home-improvement-loan\">Do I need a home improvement loan instead?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a name=\"home-repair-personal-loans\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Home repair personal loans<\/h2>\n<p>A home repair loan is a type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/personal-loan\">personal loan<\/a> that you can use to pay for critical home repairs. Home repair loans can come in handy for situations such as a broken HVAC system, burst pipe, faulty roof, and other circumstances that affect the condition of your house. While this kind of loan can be similar to a home improvement loan, home repair loans might come with faster funding to help you quickly cover the needed repairs.<\/p>\n<p>Before you take out a home repair loan, it\u2019s important to shop around and compare your options from as many lenders as possible. This way, you can find the right loan for your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Here are Credible\u2019s partner lenders that offer personal loans for home repairs:<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-780\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-780 table table-border-top table-rounded table-no-img-margin table-capitalized-column-titles tbody-has-connected-cells\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\"><strong>Lender<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-2\"><strong>Fixed rates<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-3\"><strong>Min. credit score<\/strong><\/th><th class=\"column-4\"><strong>Max. loan amounts<\/strong><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\"><center><br \/>\n            <div class=\"tablepress-lender__logo__container\">\n                <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2022_Achieve_Primary-Logo_AchieveBlue_RGB-768x282.png\" class=\"tablepress-lender__logo wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2022_Achieve_Primary-Logo_AchieveBlue_RGB-768x282.png 768w, https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2022_Achieve_Primary-Logo_AchieveBlue_RGB-600x220.png 600w, https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2022_Achieve_Primary-Logo_AchieveBlue_RGB-300x110.png 300w, https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2022_Achieve_Primary-Logo_AchieveBlue_RGB-150x55.png 150w, https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/2022_Achieve_Primary-Logo_AchieveBlue_RGB.png 856w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>            <\/div>\n        <br \/>\n        <div class=\"tablepress-rating-shortcode\">\n            <div class=\"heading__container\">\n                <span class=\"heading\">\n                                            <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/lenders\/achieve\/\">Credible Rating<\/a>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                    <div class=\"even\" data-toggle=\"tip\" data-placement=\"top left\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"icon-help\" alt=\"Question mark icon to show more information\" src=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/credible\/assets\/images\/lender-rating\/icon-help-dark.svg\">\n                        <span class=\"tip\">\n                            <span class=\"tip-content\">Credible lender ratings are evaluated by our editorial team with the help of our loan operations team.

Most personal loans are unsecured, which means you don\u2019t have to worry about collateral.<\/p>\n<p>Personal loans are a great option for borrowers who have good to excellent credit. You\u2019ll typically need a good credit score to qualify for a personal loan with a low interest rate. However, you can improve your chances of getting approved for a loan by applying with a cosigner with good credit. Also keep in mind that if you need to borrow more money, you\u2019ll have to apply for another loan.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fast loan funding compared to other options<\/li>\n<li>Fixed interest rates<\/li>\n<li>Usually don\u2019t require collateral<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Could be hard to qualify if you don\u2019t have good credit<\/li>\n<li>Can have higher interest rates compared to other options<\/li>\n<li>Shorter repayment periods than other options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Home equity loan<\/h3>\n<p class=\"featured-box featured-box--isBlue\"><b>Best for: <\/b>Homeowners with at least 15% to 20% equity in their homes who don\u2019t need funds immediately<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re a homeowner, you might be able to tap into your home\u2019s equity with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/mortgages\/home-equity-loans\/\">home equity loan<\/a>.

Unlike a home equity loan, a HELOC is a type of revolving credit, which means you can repeatedly draw on and pay off your credit line \u2014 similar to a credit card. This can be useful if you\u2019re not sure exactly how much your home repairs will be.<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that HELOCs usually come with a five- to 10-year draw period, after which you\u2019ll no longer be able to withdraw funds.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, because a HELOC is secured by your home, they can come with lower rates than other revolving credit lines like credit cards \u2014 but this also means you risk losing your house if you can\u2019t make your payments.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Allows for repeated borrowing<\/li>\n<li>Lower interest rates than other revolving credit<\/li>\n<li>Potential tax benefits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Risk of foreclosure<\/li>\n<li>Variable interest rates that can fluctuate<\/li>\n<li>Closing costs and fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Cash-out refinance<\/h3>\n<p class=\"featured-box featured-box--isBlue\"><b>Best for: <\/b>Homeowners with good credit who plan to stay in their house long term<\/p>\n<p>With a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.credible.com\/blog\/mortgages\/cash-out-refinancing\/\">cash-out refinance<\/a>, you can pay off your existing mortgage with a larger mortgage and use the remaining funds (minus any closing costs) how you see fit.<\/p>\n<p>Depending on the equity in your home, you might be able to get a much higher amount of cash this way than you would with a personal loan or credit card.<\/p>\n<p>Cash-out refinances tend to have low fixed interest rates because they\u2019re secured by your home.

With a credit card, you\u2019ll have access to a credit line that you can repeatedly draw on and pay off without a specific repayment period.<\/p>\n<p>Some credit cards offer a 0% APR introductory period, which means you can avoid paying any interest if you can repay your balance before this period ends. But you\u2019ll typically need good credit to qualify for a 0% APR credit card.<\/p>\n<p>And keep in mind that if you can\u2019t pay off the card in time, you could be stuck with some hefty interest charges \u2014 and credit cards usually come with higher interest rates compared to other options.<\/p>\n<p><b>Pros<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>0% APR introductory offer (with some cards)<\/li>\n<li>Allows for repeated borrowing<\/li>\n<li>Might offer rewards or other perks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Cons<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can have high variable interest rates<\/li>\n<li>Can come with fees (such as annual or cash-advance fees)<\/li>\n<li>Could tempt you to rack up debt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The type of loan you opt for will largely depend on how quickly you need money, your credit score, and the equity you have in your home. Personal loans can be a great option for borrowers with good credit who need money quickly, while home equity loans and HELOCs may be a better option for borrowers who need access to funds for a longer amount of time.

The origination fee charged by the lenders on our platform ranges from 0% to 12%. Each lender has their own qualification criteria with respect to their autopay and loyalty discounts (e.g., some lenders require the borrower to elect autopay prior to loan funding in order to qualify for the autopay discount). All rates are determined by the lender and must be agreed upon between the borrower and the borrower\u2019s chosen lender. For a loan of $10,000 with a three year repayment period, an interest rate of 7.99%, a $350 origination fee and an APR of 11.51%, the borrower will receive $9,650 at the time of loan funding and will make 36 monthly payments of $313.32. Assuming all on-time payments, and full performance of all terms and conditions of the loan contract and any discount programs enrolled in included in the APR\/interest rate throughout the life of the loan, the borrower will pay a total of $11,279.43. As of October 9, 2023, none of the personal loan lenders on our platform require a down payment nor do they charge any prepayment penalties.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dealing with an unexpected home repair can be a stressful and frustrating experience.
