Special Government Rehab Program- FHA 203K Rehab Loans in Broomfield CO. This article will explain the little-known special government loan program that is part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). A home buyer or existing home owner can remodel or update their 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.

Many advantages exist with this government loan program but the biggest is the ability to have all of your acquisition or refinance loans together with your improvement loan in one low interest rate instead of two separate governments loans that are always of higher interest rates. A 203K Loan is the name of this FHA loan program as defined by the Federal Housing Administration.For more information, please visit the FHA website:http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/housing/sfh/203k/203kabou

Lenders have to be approved by HUDin order to do this loan program. To avoid delays, it is essential that you go with a lender that can offer in house underwriting and expertise instead of using a mortgage broker due to the intricacies of the loan program. Two types of loan programs within the 203K Renovation Loan for Broomfield CO exist.

The first is what is called a streamline 203K loan. With a Streamline 203K loan, there can't be any structural improvements and the dollar amount is generally lower for a 203K streamline loan. Only basic cosmetic repairs are allowed with a Streamline 203K loan. Items such as painting, plumbing, electrical, and flooring are allowed. A Full 203K loan is the second type of a 203K loan.

A full 203K loan offers structural improvements like adding another room or doing foundation work and you can also do rehab or renovate your current property. It's now possible to 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 will give you much more flexibility in your home purchase or to remodel your existing home.
