203K Standard

An FHA type loan which allows you to purchase or refinance a home and roll in all the improvements or repairs of the home into a single loan.

Renovation loans can be done as a purchase or a refinance transaction

A standard 203k loan program allows a loan amount that is 110% of the after improvement value determined by the appraisal. A 203k consultant is required to perform a thorough home inspection in order to do the complete work write-up. A minimum of $5,000 must be borrowed for the sake of repairs. The maximum loan amount depends on the proposed appraisal value. All other qualifying guidelines are pretty much similar to other FHA loans.
