The FHA 203(k) loan allows homeowners to finance both a home purchase (or refinance) and renovation costs in a single mortgage with a minimum 3.5% down payment. The Limited 203(k) covers up to $75,000 in repairs; the Standard 203(k) handles major structural work. FHA loan limits in the San José high-cost area reach up to $1,249,125. This is a loan product, not a grant, but enables home improvement financing at favorable FHA rates.
