As a contractor, it is important to know what types of projects customers typically take out personal loans for so you can be prepared to offer the right financing options to help close the deal.

Homeowners take out personal loans for a variety of reasons related to home improvement and repairs. Here are some of the top projects that homeowners take out personal loans for:

  1. Kitchen renovations: Kitchen renovations can be costly, and many homeowners choose to take out personal loans to finance these projects. This may include installing new appliances, upgrading countertops, and replacing cabinets.
  2. Bathroom renovations: Bathroom renovations are another popular project that homeowners take out personal loans for. This may include replacing fixtures, upgrading the shower or bathtub, and installing new tile.
  3. Roof repairs or replacements: Roof repairs or replacements can be expensive, and many homeowners choose to take out personal loans to finance these projects. This is particularly important if the roof is damaged and needs to be repaired quickly to prevent further damage to the home.
  4. HVAC system upgrades: Upgrading an HVAC system can improve the energy efficiency of a home and reduce energy costs. Many homeowners choose to take out personal loans to finance these projects.
  5. Home additions: Adding an addition to a home, such as a new room or a garage, can also be expensive. Homeowners may take out personal loans to finance these projects and increase the value of their home.

These are just a few examples of the top projects that homeowners take out personal loans for. It’s important to carefully consider the costs and benefits of any home improvement project and to make sure that the financing option you choose is the best fit for your needs and budget.

1 Rates as of 6/14/2024. Advertised rates and terms are subject to change without notice. Estimated interest rates, APRs, and other terms are not binding in any way. For illustrative purposes only, if you request $10,000, you could get a total loan of $10,000 with an 8.94% interest rate and $0 fees (note, if the lending partner charges an origination fee, it will increase the APR). You would receive $10,000 with 84 payments of $161. Your actual interest rate and APR will depend on factors like credit score, requested funding amount, and credit history. Only borrowers with excellent credit will qualify for the lowest rate. Offers represent lowest monthly payment for amount and term displayed. When evaluating offers, please review the funding partner’s terms and conditions for additional details. All loans and other financial products are subject to credit review and approval by our partners.

2 We work with some lenders that do not have a requirement for a credit check and use income and/or employment to make decisions on eligibility for their financial products. Underwriting criteria is established by our partners, not Acorn Finance. Most of our lenders will do a soft pull, which does not impact your credit score; however, our funding partners will conduct a hard credit pull when you express interest in an offer, and this could impact your credit score.
