An FHA 203k loan enables new homebuyers to finance their home purchase and home improvements in a single mortgage loan. Under the FHA 203k loan program, the home is appraised before rehabilitation takes place and the total loan amount is based on what the projected value of the home will be in the improved condition. By providing affordable financing to acquire the property, as well as additional funds to improve the property, an FHA 203k mortgage helps homebuyers who are purchasing a house in need of repair or modernization to avoid costly high interest rate, interim loans and time-consuming paperwork.

There are two types of an FHA 203k loans. The first is a full FHA 203k, which is used for properties that need structural repairs such as foundation improvements/repairs, moving a load bearing wall or a room addition. The second is the streamlined FHA 203k, which is used for non-structural repairs such as painting, energy efficient improvements, carpeting/flooring and new appliances. A FHA 203k loan allows you to update any home, in any neighborhood, in any condition!
