Safely Use Your Home's Equity to Fund Rehab and Renovation...

...with CASH's 4.5% Home Improvement Loan. CASH (Cleveland Action to Support Housing) takes the worry out of home improvement! Does the thought of working with a contractor give you heartburn? Do you hate making upfront payments when you're not sure you'll ever see your contractor again? Do you even know how to identify and prioritize your home's basic rehab needs? Some people do, but for the rest of us, there's CASH. A CASH construction specialist will write specifications and generate cost estimates for the work to be done. Your contractors' bids will be reviewed for fairness and accuracy, and your money will be held in escrow, payable after work gets done. So if you're shopping for a home equity loan, banks are a good option—but be sure to include CASH in your comparison process. Call CASH at 216-621-7350 for more information.
