A Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program with FHA 203 Renovation Loans offered in Bayfield Colorado.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers a special government loan program that a lot of people are not aware of. Existing home owners or potential home buyers can remodel and update their homes without having a higher cost second lien because of this FHA loan program.
The loan program does not allow for "luxury items" which are defined as items like a swimming pool or hot tub, etc. But you can repaint, replace flooring, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, add wallpaper, replace appliances, even add a room to an existing structure (which can significantly add to value as you increase the square footage of your home).
One of the biggest advantages to this government loan program is you have all of your acquisition or refinance loan with your improvement loan in one low interest rate, government guaranteed loan instead of two loans- including a first and a second lien loan (which is always at a higher interest rate).
The FHA loan program is called a 203K loan by the Federal Housing Administration. For more information, please visit the FHA 203K website.
Lenders have to be approved by HUD in order to do this loan program. It is important that you go with a lender that offers in house underwriting and expertise instead of a mortgage broker due to the intricacies of the loan program and to avoid long delays that brokered loans in this niche create.
There are two types of loan programs within the FHA 203K Renovation Loan for Bayfield Colorado.
1. A streamline 203K loan. The dollar amount of improvements is generally lower for a streamline 203K loan, and there can not be any structural improvements on a 203K Streamline loan. But, basic cosmetics, etc. are allowed on a streamline 203K Rehab loan.
2. A full 203K loan. The ability for the home owner to renovate or rehab their property include improvements to structure such as foundation work or adding another room are offered by full 203K loans.
Now you can have the home of your dreams- so when looking for a home- you can envision new carpeting, paint, lighting, remodeled kitchen or bathrooms, etc. which could allow you to remodel your existing home or give you more flexibility in your home purchase.
