Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program with FHA 203K Renovation Loans in Archuleta Count 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).
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.
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). 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.
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
