UIF Renovation Financing
Halal Home Financing in Georgia
Combines your home purchase and renovation costs into one Shariah-compliant Musharakah contract - buy a fixer-upper and finance the improvements together, with up to 5 draws as work is completed. Finances up to 75% of the combined purchase plus renovation value on 15- or 30-year fixed terms, for 1-2 unit primary residences and 1-unit second homes in 9 states (AL, FL, GA, IL, IN, MI, NC, TX, VA). Requires a 660 credit score; your own licensed contractor's bids and plans are reviewed and approved before closing, and a feasibility study is required for major repairs or projects over $35K.
UIF offers halal renovation financing using a Musharakah structure in 9 states - one of the only US providers that lets you buy a fixer-upper and fund the work in a single Shariah-compliant contract. It combines home purchase and renovation costs with up to 5 draws as work completes, on 15- or 30-year fixed terms, financing up to 75% of the combined value. The $1,975 supplemental origination fee is the visible cost; quote-only pricing and a 660 credit floor are the gates. Watch the exclusions: no self-builds, no tear-downs, and nothing that leaves the home uninhabitable beyond 30 days. Best suited for buyers targeting under-priced homes that need real work.

How to use this comparison: HalalWallet is an independent educational comparison platform - by design, we do not provide financial, legal, or religious advice. We do the research homework so your final checks are quick and personal.
Product structures and Shariah oversight vary by provider, so finish with three built-in steps:
- Confirm current terms and halal compliance directly with the provider - their quote is final.
- Review the contract structure (Murabaha, Ijara, Musharakah, etc.) and any disclosed Shariah board opinions.
- Bring your shortlist to a qualified Islamic finance advisor or scholar, so the conversation is about your situation, not the basics.
