Hi Guest!

Welcome to forums!

I don't think lenders will give you a loan more than the worth of the property. You can take a separate home improvement loan in order to improve your home.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

No you cant do that, They will just loan what the house costs. No money to improve or upgrade your house.
