Renovate the home. Skip the HELOC.
Kitchen, bath, roof, addition, full remodel. HELOCs and home-improvement loans run 8-12% APR with variable rates and second-mortgage liens on your title. A savings club replaces them with a flat-fee structure that does not touch your existing mortgage or your title.
- No second-mortgage lien
- Flat fee
- Trust-protected funds
Why traditional financing falls short here.
Renovation financing is a tax on improving the home you already own. HELOC rates float with prime, second-mortgage liens complicate any future sale or refi, and home-improvement loans top out at $50K to $100K with rates that rival auto loans. A savings club configured at the renovation value lets you fund the work without a second-mortgage lien on your title.
- HELOC rates are typically prime + 1-3%, currently 9-12% APR.
- Home-improvement loans cap at $50K to $100K with 8-15% APR.
- Second-mortgage liens complicate future refinancing or sale.
- Variable-rate exposure on HELOCs means your payment can climb mid-project.
- Some lenders require contractor lien waivers and project draws, operational drag.
HOW IT WORKS FOR HOME RENOVATION
Four steps to a renovated home.
- 1
Estimate the renovation budget.
Get a contractor estimate. The savings club is configured for the renovation value.
- 2
Join the club, no second-mortgage lien.
Monthly contributions only. No HELOC. No second mortgage. Your title stays clean.
- 3
Receive your voucher.
Use it to pay contractors directly, or to reimburse yourself for already-paid work.
- 4
Own the renovation outright.
No floating-rate exposure. No second-mortgage lien. Finite club obligation replaces ongoing debt.
A CLEAN TITLE, START TO FINISH
No second mortgage on your home.
Your title stays clean. The savings club is a separate contribution stream that does not interact with your existing first mortgage, so a future sale or refinance is unaffected.
- Any renovation type: kitchen, bath, roof, addition, full remodel, ADU build, by value bracket.
- Pay contractors directly. The voucher redeems with any licensed contractor.
- Contributions in trust at US Bank under JHTC.

THE MATH, SIDE-BY-SIDE
An $80,000 renovation, two ways to pay.
| Traditional financing | Savings.Club | |
|---|---|---|
| Total cost on $80,000 renovation (10 years) | $120,000 to $135,000 | $92,000 to $98,000 |
| Floating-rate exposure | Yes (HELOC) | No |
| Second-mortgage lien | Yes | No |
| Contractor lien-waiver overhead | Often required | No |
| Effect on future refinance | Complicates | None |
Illustrative: $80K renovation, HELOC at 10% over 10 years vs. flat-fee Savings.Club obligation. Actual savings depend on renovation value and current rate environment.
QUESTIONS
Common questions.
Yes. The savings club is configured for the renovation value, not the renovation type. Full remodels, ADUs, additions, kitchen/bath, roofing, and structural work all qualify.
