FHA Add Home
Improvements to a Purchase
FHA 203k Purchase Home Loan Requirements
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA), part of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), administers several single
family home
loan programs. These mortgage programs operate through FHA-approved
lending institutions who submit forms scheduling the appraisals of the
property and also have the borrowers
credit
approved. These banks fund the mortgage loans which
the Department insures,
(as the U.S. Department of
housing does not make direct loans to
help people buy homes).
If you are one of the many U.S. residents who have overlooked buying
a home that needs cosmetic repairs for lack of funds to fix them up, the
FHA has a loan program for you.
The
FHA 203k
loan program is the Department's primary program for the purchase and
rehabilitation and repair of single family properties. Basically this is
a home improvement loan added to the purchase price of your home.
Therefore, this is fast becoming the most popular
FHA Loan Program
for expanding homeownership opportunities. Since these are the primary
goals of HUD, the Department believes that FHA 203k loan is an
important program and they intend to continue to strongly support the
program and the banks that participate in it.
