The FHA 203k loan program is a good fit if you are looking to purchase a home that may need repairs or upgrades. Common repairs issues include damaged roof, broken A/C system, and plumbing problems. It can also be used for upgrades on a home to be purchased, including flooring, painting, new appliances, and more. The FHA 203k loan program allows you to combine the costs of these repairs and upgrades to rehabilitate the property into the home loan.

In addition to streamlining costly repairs for a property, an FHA 203k loan can also be used for modernization of an existing home. This is useful for homeowners who want to update a kitchen or bathroom, build room additions, or other home expansion projects.
