Government Home Renovation Loan Program with FHA 203K Renovation Loans in Centennial Colorado. Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). Thanks to this special FHA loan program, a buyer or home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their new or existing home without the higher cost of a second mortgage.
You are not allowed to finance "Luxury items" such as a hot tub or swimming pool through 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.
