Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program using FHA 203k Home Loans for Arlington TX.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) offers a special government loan program that a lot of people are not aware of. A buyer or existing home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their existing home without having a higher cost second lien thanks to this special FHA loan program.

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).
