FHA 203k Loan

Buy a fixer-upper and roll the renovation costs into a single mortgage.

All loan options

The FHA 203(k) lets you finance a home and its renovations in one loan.

A good fit for

  • Buyers looking at fixer-uppers
  • Homes that need repairs before they qualify for other financing

How it works

  • The loan is based on the home's expected value after improvements
  • Work is done by contractors and paid out in stages

Keep in mind

  • More paperwork and a longer timeline than a standard purchase
  • Contractor bids are needed up front
