Go From Fixer-Upper to Fabulous with an FHA 203(k) Loan

Let us help you transform a property with potential into your dream home.

FHA 203(k) Renovation Loans


203(k) renovation loans are designed to help borrowers finance home repairs plus the purchase or refinance of a primary residence. Backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), these loans allow a variety of home improvements and feature as little as 3.5% down payment plus low closing costs.

Two Types of 203(k) Loans


We offer two FHA 203(k) products to fit your needs: the FHA Standard 203(k)
 program and the FHA Limited 203(k) program.

FHA Standard 203(k)

This program provides flexible financing for major renovations to be made on a new or existing home. The minimum repair amount is $5,000, and there is no set limit for maximum cost of repairs.*

  • Roll 6 months of payments into the loan
  • Eligible projects range from cosmetic updates to major structural renovations and full additions
  • Available for purchase or refinance
  • Loan amounts up to 110% of the home’s after-improved appraised value

 

Commonly financed projects include:


  • Full remodeling of kitchens or bathrooms
  • Structural alterations and additions
