Fox Business reports this week that an FHA “Section 203(k) loan allows borrowers to wrap the cost of repairs and improvements into a single mortgage.”
Homeowners who buy an older home or foreclosure often have difficulty financing the repairs and renovations. FHA has a home loan program to help these homebuyers, a Section 203(k) loan.

There are two types of 203(k) loans. The first, and more common, loan is known as a Streamline 203(k) and is restricted to repairs or improvements that total $35,000 or less.
The second type of 203(k) loan applies to improvements costing more than $35,000.
