Short Answer - Almost anyone! Long Answer - see below.
There are no broad restrictions on who is allowed to do a renovation loan project? If it is your first home, second home, or one you currently live in, you can do it. As long as you can meet the minimum requirements, by the lender, to qualify for the loan, you can do a reno loan like the FHA 203k, Conventional Homestyle, VA Reno, or USDA Reno.
Qualifications
