Shopping Around For Swimming Pool Financing
Monday, June 7th, 2010Going to the bank to obtain financing for your swimming pool, or any new home construction, is a bit harder these days then it was even as recently as three years ago. The financial crisis has made the banks skittish about making these types of loans.
Even so, however, for a typical swimming pool financing deal, you will need reasonably good credit. You have to apply for the loan through one of your bank’s long term home improvement loan programs. Before speaking with your banker, however, it’s a good idea to talk to contractors and get some estimates in writing so that when you’ll have some hard figures to show when you sit down to fill out the application.
Also, don’t feel obliged to seek out the loan from your current mortgage holder. Shop around town and get the best interest rate that you can.
