If you want to purchase a home that needs works or if you want to do an addition to your home, the FHA 203K loan might be the right one for you.
FHA 203K loan for considered “rehab” loans. They can be done as a purchase or refinance and along with doing a normal home loan they provide extra money in an escrow account to pay for repairs or to add an addition to your home. The appraisal is based off the future value after the work is completed. The work must be done by a licensed contract.
These are some of the advantages of FHA 203K mortgages:
FHA loan have flexible qualification requirements. They allow higher debt-to-income (DTI) ratios than conventional loans and your credit does not need to be perfect
This loan will work for properties that are in less than ideal condition. Its often difficult to get financing for properties that are fixers and need major work. With an FHA 203K loan this does not matter as long as the work will be completed with the 203K loan financing.
The appraisal will be based on future value after the repairs or addition is completed. Also, the appraised value can be up to 10% lower than the purchase price the cost of repairs or addition. This added flexibility allows the money for remodeling without the worries of an appraisal not coming in high enough.
Down payments for FHA 203K loans are as low as 3.5% of the purchase price plus 3.5% of the cost of repairs.
