It should be. I would speak with the lender and see if they can help you complete the home. Generally, a completed home is worth more than an unfinished one or one in the middle stages of major remodeling. The lender might be willing to loan a little more in order to limit their losses. I am currently working with a client in a similar situation and the lender has been very understanding ..... at least so far.
