Their communication was awful. I went through my credit report, gave all types of personal info and they stopped communicating with me. It wasn’t even a matter of not meeting their criteria, though that would still be poor customer service. I ended up going with a different company that gave me better terms.

After applying and uploading all the documents through their portal and not hearing anything for over a week (despite multiple emails and calls), I came here and immediately saw all the reviews referencing slow communications. It turns out that is 100% a huge issue at Renofi and a major red flag for any company, especially one that people rely on for sizable loans. I’ll update this review if/when I get a response but for now, my advice and plan is to look elsewhere for renovation funding. Heed the negative reviews

We tried renofi because we didn't have enough equity in the house for a heloc. I don't know if this company is scamming to get kickbacks from appraisals and referrals or if they're just terrible, but in either case, they are the worst. After the initial consultation, they are near impossible to get a hold of. They do not answer emails, you have to schedule a call and they won't always show up for that. They don't keep you updated and they don't follow up with you or the bank. And they use the lowest rated shady banks to begin with. They don't actually give you any choice of bank, they pick one and submit for you. At the beginning, they collect your information, but they don't collect everything the bank needs, so 4 months later, after hearing almost nothing despite requests, the banks rejects you because they made assumptions. Even after providing them proof of what they needed, which they say they'll look at, silence. Just, literally no communication from the bank or from renofi. Even though renofi said they had other banks to submit to and said they would if this bank rejects, they didn't do it. And they wont talk to you again. They don't answer email, they don't call when you schedule a call. Just nothing. We could've sold our home for a huge profit, had an offer, but we were told y Renofi that we were approved so we declined the offer. The market is cooled now so that is an opportunity well never get back. We have great income, great credit, almost half the renovation budget in savings, an appropriate debt-income ratio, a detailed contractor bid, and the as competed appraisal came back high enough. They either dropped the ball or never had a ball to begin with. *Edited to add because of business's response: Our application was in my husband's name, though we were both involved in every aspect, I'm on the deed to the house, and was on the (of the few there were) calls and emails.*

The word ball drop got used so much throughout their process for a personal loan, that I'm almost not surprised the loan company backed out. Communication is not a top priority with them, I had to get involved with the underwriting team to fix their communication issues, which is unheard of anymore. They had me apply with one lender who countered at half the budget and doubled back only to have me apply with the lender who does scope of work loans on personal loans. Which it baffles me that their website articles warn against doing personal loans yet they drove me into the ground with the lack of understanding with their lender's requirements. Of course they jump ship after the fall through, and I'm left up a creek with two pulls on my credit, while they're hardly even affected. Triggered by their use of "hindsight being 20/20" and "ball drops". Edit: The supposed documents the renofi team is referring to was a utility bill that I had to have generated early. This was due to them not telling me half way through the loan process that the lender changed their policy on rental properties. Which was a further "ball drop", thankfully anything the team wants to dispute on how they failed in this process is documented call and otherwise. So I'm happy to address their discrepancies.
