203K Renovation Loan

The Lowdown on 203K Loans

An FHA 203K loan is backed by the federal government and given to buyers who want to buy a damaged or older home and do repairs. Here’s how it works: Let’s say you want to buy a home that needs a brand-new bathroom and kitchen. An FHA 203K lender would then give you the money to buy (or refinance) the house plus the money to do the necessary renovations to the kitchen and bathroom.

Often the loan will also include the following:

  1. An up to 20% contingency reserve so that you will have the funds to complete the remodel in the event it ends up costing more than the estimates suggested and/or
  2. A provision that gives you up to about six months of mortgage payments so you can live elsewhere while you’re remodeling, but still pays the mortgage payments on the new home.

We’re here to make the 203K home loan process a whole lot easier, with tools and expertise that will help guide you along the way.
