Pursuing an FHA 203(k) loan enables homebuyers and homeowners to finance both the purchase (or refinancing) of a house and the cost of its rehabilitation through a single mortgage or to finance the rehabilitation of their existing home. The extent of the rehabilitation covered by a 203(k) may range from relatively minor (minimum of $5000 in cost) to virtual reconstruction: a home that has been demolished or will be restored as part of rehabilitation is eligible. Section 203(k) insured loans can finance the rehabilitation of the residential portion of a property that also has non-residential uses; they can also cover the conversion of a property of any size to a one-to-four unit structure.
The types of improvements that borrowers may make using Section 203(k) financing include:
-Structural alterations and reconstruction
-Modernization and improvements to the home's function
-Elimination of health and safety hazards
-Changes that improve appearance and eliminate obsolescence
-Reconditioning or replacing plumbing; installing a well and/or septic system
-Adding or replacing roofing, gutters, and downspouts
-Adding or replacing floors and/or floor treatments
-Major landscape work and site improvements
-Enhancing accessibility for a disabled person -Making energy conservation improvements
