Check your credit score, determine whether it is positive, negative or neutral. On the basis of your current score, put your efforts to improve the image. A higher credit score will help you in approving loans faster with minimum possible interest rate.Â

Remember it clearly that Fannie Mae Homestyle Loan is not meant for your DIY projects. While presenting the proposal of your project, approved contractors and architects should be mentioned clearly.Â
While applying for this type of loan, keep yourself informed with exceptions too. Building a new home on a separate property, movable storage or electricity renovation or tearing down a house is not covered. Get your files ready carefully!
