Your application paperwork

An FHA mortgage that rolls the cost of repairs or renovation into the loan to buy or refinance a home. The rehab work must total at least 5,000 dollars. You apply through an FHA approved lender, not a government office.

Steps to apply

  1. Find an FHA approved lender that offers the 203(k) program.
  2. Apply with that lender and choose Standard 203(k) (larger projects) or Limited 203(k).
  3. The lender brings in a HUD approved 203(k) consultant who prepares a work write-up and cost estimate.
  4. The lender underwrites, closes, and funds the loan, and the repair funds are released as the work is done.
