Exploring the Types of FHA 203(k) Home Loans
Choosing the Right Loan for Your Renovation
The FHA 203(k) program offers two types of loans tailored to different renovation scopes and budgets:
- Standard 203(k) Loan: Ideal for extensive renovations that may require architectural or engineering input, this loan is suitable for projects with costs exceeding $35,000, including significant structural work.

Additional Information on FHA 203(k) Loans
Getting Started with Your Renovation Loan
To apply for an FHA 203(k) loan, you must work with an approved FHA lender and meet specific criteria, such as a minimum FICO score of 580. Once you’ve had the loan for six months, you may be eligible to refinance into a conventional mortgage. This program is designed for single-family homes, including units that are being rebuilt or relocated. Up to six months are provided to complete the renovations, subject to possible extensions.
