Your application paperwork

Form to file: HUD Form 56001 (Credit Application for Property Improvement Loan)

The FHA Title I program lets you borrow to repair or improve a home, with HUD insuring the loan a private lender makes. It funds alterations, repairs, and site improvements that protect or improve the home's basic livability. You apply through a HUD-approved Title I lender; loans above 7,500 dollars are secured by the home, and there is no prepayment penalty.

  2. Plan your improvement project and get contractor estimates.
  3. Complete the lender's credit application for a property improvement loan (HUD Form 56001).
  4. The lender underwrites and closes the loan, then funds the improvements.

Documents you will likely need

  • Proof you own and occupy the home.
  • Proof of income and your credit information (the lender pulls credit).
  • Contractor estimates and a description of the planned improvements.
  • The completed property improvement loan credit application (HUD Form 56001).
