FHA 203k Renovation Loan
Manage episode 366860679 series 3393079
The limited FHA 203(k) rehab loan is geared toward minor improvements and repairs. No structural work is allowed, so you won’t be able to knock out walls or add rooms. In some cases, borrowers may be allowed to do some of the home improvement work, but a licensed contractor must be involved in the process. A 203(k) consultant isn’t required on a limited 203(k) loan.
The maximum loan-to-value (LTV) factor is 96.5% for a purchase case and 97.75% for a refinance case.
So if your purchase price is $265,000 and the ARV after repair value is $325,000 your maximum 203k loan amount is $313,625 this includes the purchase and renovation.
