How to purchase a home and finance the rehab when you don’t have the cash in pocket...
Rehab or “renovation” loans are programs for designed for homeowners or buyers who need to finance the cost of improvements with a new loan. These loans may be the answer to turning a “fixer-upper” into a dream home!
Conventional and FHA Renovation mortgages include the purchase price plus the cost of improvements the borrower is either required or chooses to make. They provide the option to obtain a new loan and complete repairs and upgrades in a single step, and without a large cash commitment.
FHA’s 203(k) Rehab Loan is a popular program, insured by the government and designed for borrowers who want to purchase a new home that needs repair, or refinance an existing home.
Two types of FHA 203(k) loans:
- The Streamlined 203(k) loan allows the borrower to make minor cosmetic changes to a property, up to $35,000.
- The Standard FHA 203(k) loan allows substantial structural improvements, repairs, and remodeling. You can even build a new home with this loan!
- A single loan finances the purchase (or refinance) plus repairs
- Low cash-out-of pocket commitment
- Low interest rates
- Great property deals
