Should I get my home retrofitted first and then contact a lender?
It should be the reverse. Often times the retrofit can be paid out of
the proceeds of the loan. Yet most importantly many contractors may say
they are retrofitting your home but their work product is worthless if
it can't meet an engineer's certification or garner the state
certification for recorded documents. Don't pay for something in
advance that may not meet a lender's requirements.
