The FHA 203(k) loan lets homeowners finance major rehabilitation costs into a single mortgage, either when purchasing a fixer-upper or refinancing an existing home. The Standard 203(k) covers major structural work; the Limited (Streamlined) 203(k) is for repairs under $75,000 without major structural changes. A minimum 580 credit score and 3.5% down payment are required. Rates run approximately 0.75%–1.0% higher than standard FHA loans.
