Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program using Crawford Texas FHA 203k Mortgage Loans.
Many are not aware of a special government loan program that is actually a part of FHA (Federal Housing Administration- a department within HUD). Existing home owners or potential home buyers can remodel and update their homes without having a higher cost second lien because of this FHA loan program.
"Luxury items" like a hot tub and a swimming pool are not allowed by this FHA loan program. Repaint, remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms, add wallpaper, replace appliances and flooring and even a add a room to an existing structure (which will increase the value of the homes square footage).
One of the biggest advantages to this government loan program is you have all of your acquisition or refinance loan with your improvement loan in one low interest rate, government guaranteed loan instead of two loans- including a first and a second lien loan (which is always at a higher interest rate).
The FHA loan program is called a 203K loan by the Federal Housing Administration. You can find information on the FHA website located here:

Lenders have to be approved by HUD in order to do this loan program. Due to the intricacies of the loan program, you must go with an experienced lender that offers in house underwriting instead of a mortgage broker so that you can avoid the long delays that brokered loans in this niche sometimes create.
There are two types of loan programs within the Crawford Texas FHA 203k Mortgage Loans. The first is what is called a streamline 203K loan. There can't be any structural improvements on a 203K Streamline loan and the dollar amount is generally lower for a 203K streamline loan. But, basic cosmetics, etc. are allowed on a streamline 203K Rehab loan. 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 as well as the ability for the home owner to rehab or renovate their current property.
Now you can have the home of your dreams- so when looking for a home- you can envision new carpeting, paint, lighting, remodeled kitchen or bathrooms, etc. which may allow you much more flexibility in your home purchase or to remodel your existing home.
