Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program with FHA 203k Renovation Loans for Allen Texas

 

 Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). 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. 

 

 

 

 "Luxury items" like a hot tub and a swimming pool are not allowed by this 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). 

 

 

 

 The Federal Housing Administration callas this FHA Loan program a 203K loan. Visit the FHA website for more information:

 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. 

 

 

 

 Two types of loan programs within the FHA 203k Renovation Loans for Allen Texas exist. A streamline 203K loan is the first. There can't be any structural improvements on a 203K Streamline loan and the dollar amount is generally lower for a 203K streamline loan. Except for basic cosmetics among other things. that a streamline 203K Rehab loan allows A Full 203K loan is the second type of a 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. 

 

 

 

 You can envision new carpeting, paint, a remodeled kitchen or bathrooms and lighting when looking for your new home and have the home of your dreams which may allow you much more flexibility in your home purchase or to remodel your existing home.

I have just recently been really involving myself in the 203K loan process, through different states. Just to see the differences, if any. I was surprised to find out that a quadplex can actually qualify for a 203K loan approval as loan as the owner lives in one of the units.

This is great information though, thanks for the write up!
