When a renovation or redevelopment project starts to falter, the consequences can be far-reaching. From unplanned expenses to legal complications and diminishing ROI, lenders and project owners alike often find themselves at a crossroads. Whether you’re managing a portfolio of defaulted loans or dealing with a single project going sideways, making the right decisions moving forward is critical. That’s where Refresh Homes comes in.
Led by Ron Howard, a licensed top-producing realtor and MHIC contractor with over 20 years of experience, Refresh Homes specializes in getting stalled projects back on track. With a proven track record of successfully guiding over 1,000 renovation sales and working closely with regional banks, private lenders, and renovators, Ron and his team are uniquely equipped to help you navigate the challenges of troubled real estate investments.
Why Troubled Projects Require Expert Guidance
When renovation projects run into trouble, it’s often due to poor planning, insufficient oversight, or unexpected complications. The situation can become even more complex when permits, inspections, or Use and Occupancy certificates are missing. For lenders managing defaulted loan portfolios, these challenges are magnified, as each misstep can result in lost time and money.
Without the right expertise, it’s difficult to determine whether to:
Foreclose on the property
Provide additional funding to complete renovations
Sell the property as-is
Invest in strategic improvements to maximize resale value
Making these decisions requires a deep understanding of real estate markets, construction processes, and the nuances of valuation—all areas where Refresh Homes excels.
