Want Your Exact Freddie Mac CHOICERenovation® Checklist?
Expect a standard conventional income and asset package plus renovation extras: one general contractor’s bids, licensing, insurance, and a scope that supports the after-improved appraisal. Having the rehab stack ready is what separates a fast Freddie Mac CHOICERenovation® close from a stalled one.
Four buckets every Freddie Mac CHOICERenovation® file usually covers.
Freddie Mac CHOICERenovation® is not a standard purchase with a vague remodel wish list. Underwriters and appraisers need line-item bids that match the financed scope — so five escrow draws have a clear pay schedule and after-improved value has market support inside the repair cost caps.
Missing insurance certificates, unsigned bids, DIY scopes without a licensed general contractor, or a loan amount under the $100,000 minimum are the most common document delays after credit is already approved.
