Special Government Rehab Program- FHA 203K Rehab Loans in BaileyCO.
There is a special government loan program that is part of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)- 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" such as a hot tub or a swimming pool are not allowed with this FHA loan program.
Items such as remodeling cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, painting, adding wallpaper, replacing appliances and flooring, or even adding a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of the homes square footage) are allowed. There are many advantages with this government loan program but the biggest is the ability to have all of your acquisition or refinance loan costs together with your renovation loan in one low interest rate instead of two separate government loans that are always of higher interest rates.
The name of this FHA loan program as defined by the Federal Housing Administration is a 203K loan. For more information, please visit the FHA website: http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/203k/203kabou
