How To Get Construction Loan
FHA 203(K) Loan
There are generally two types of FHA 203k loans – the Streamlined 203k mortgage and the Standard 203k loan, respectively. A streamlined 203k loan also known as “Limited 203k” has a more straightforward and quick process and is reserved for homes that require cosmetic repairs like flooring. Homebuyers and homeowners can finance up to $35,000 into their mortgage to repair, improve, or upgrade their homes. The cost of the rehabilitation must be at least $5,000. The other type of 203k loan is the standard 203k loan or “Full 203k loan. This type of loan is meant for properties that require more extensive repairs or renovations such as foundation and plumbing repairs. The standard or full 203k is not capped at $35,000 and used if the home is uninhabitable for any reason at any time.
