What is an FHA 203(k) Renovation Loan?

An FHA 203(k) or Conventional Renovation Loan can be used to purchase or refinance a primary residence, regardless of condition of the property.  These loans are designed for people who want to finance a mortgage as well as the funds needed to repair and remodel the property all in a single loan with one application, one closing, and one monthly payment.

Both these types of loans can also be used to refinance a fixer-upper along with the funds needed to repair and remodel the property. And once again, this is all done with a single loan with one application, one closing, and one monthly payment.

An FHA 203(k) Renovation Loan offers the following features and benefits:

• One loan, one closing, and one payment for both the mortgage to purchase or refinance the home and the funds needed for major and minor improvements.
• Competitive long-term fixed or adjustable interest rates.
• The Conventional Version has a max loan amount of 417k.
• The FHA Version has a max loan amount of $271,050.00.
• Low down payments starting at 3.5% of the property acquisition and repair costs.
• Less-strict FHA qualification requirements.
• You may be able to finance your mortgage payments into the loan if the home is uninhabitable during the rehabilitation period (up to 6 months).
• Includes funds to cover potential expenses and fees.
• You may be able to finance the cost to rent another home during the renovation period.
• The loan amount is determined by using the after-improved value!
