🔧 How FHA 203(k) Loans Help You Buy a Fixer-Upper 🏡

FHA 203(k) Rehab Loans Explained: Buy & Renovate with One Loan

Thinking about buying a fixer-upper? Don’t have the cash to renovate and buy at the same time? Enter the FHA 203(k) loan — the perfect solution for homebuyers looking to buy and renovate with one affordable mortgage.

What Is an FHA 203(k) Loan?

An FHA 203(k) loan is a government-backed mortgage that allows buyers to purchase (or refinance) a home and roll the renovation costs into a single loan. These loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and designed to help revitalize older homes, making them move-in ready — or custom to your style.

There are two types of FHA 203(k) loans:

Standard 203(k): For major renovations over $75,000, including structural repairs.

Limited 203(k): For smaller projects under $75,000, such as kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, or roofing.
· $5000 in repairs is the minimum amount needed to be escrowed to be eligible for either 203K version.

Who Should Consider a 203(k) Loan?

· First-time homebuyers who can’t afford a turnkey home.

· Buyers looking for homes in up-and-coming neighborhoods.

· Investors purchasing properties to rent (owner-occupant required).

· Homeowners who want to refinance and renovate.

Benefits of FHA 203(k) Loans

✅ One Loan, One Payment: Buy and fix up with a single monthly payment.
✅ Low Down Payment: Just 3.5% down (if you qualify).
✅ Flexible Credit Guidelines: Perfect for borrowers with limited credit history.
✅ Build Equity Fast: Renovations can boost property value right away.
✅ Government-Backed Confidence: Lenders are more willing to approve your deal.

What Can You Use It For?

· New kitchens or bathrooms

· Roof replacements

· HVAC systems

· Foundation or structural work

· Flooring, windows, and more!

Things to Know

· You must live in the home as a primary residence.

· The work must begin within 30 days of closing and be completed in 6 months.

· You must work with an FHA-approved lender (we’ve got you covered 😉).

· A HUD consultant may be required for standard loans.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been dreaming of a starter home you can customize, the FHA 203(k) loan might be your ticket to affordable homeownership. Instead of waiting to save for renovations, you can get everything done upfront — and move into your dream home faster.
