Your application paperwork

An FHA mortgage that rolls the cost of repairs or renovation into the loan to buy or refinance a home. The rehab work must total at least 5,000 dollars. You apply through an FHA approved lender, not a government office.

Steps to apply

  1. Find an FHA approved lender that offers the 203(k) program.
  2. Apply with that lender and choose Standard 203(k) (larger projects) or Limited 203(k).
  3. The lender brings in a HUD approved 203(k) consultant who prepares a work write-up and cost estimate.
  4. The lender underwrites, closes, and funds the loan, and the repair funds are released as the work is done.

Documents you will likely need

  • Standard mortgage application documents (income, assets, credit).
  • Contractor bids and a work write-up for the planned repairs.
  • Information about the property you are buying or refinancing.

Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules on the official program page. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
