Rehab Your Fountain CO Home with an FHA 203K Renovation Loan

Special Government Rehab Program- FHA 203K Rehab Loans in Fountain CO.

There is a special government loan program that is part of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)- 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. "Luxury items" like a hot tub and a swimming pool are not allowed by this FHA loan program. You can repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, replace appliances and flooring, add wallpaper, or even add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of your home because of more square footage).

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.

Lenders have to be approved by HUD in 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.
