Florida Mortgage Lender Blog & Real Estate News

Have you ever heard of the 203k rehab loans offered through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA)? If you’re rehabbing Florida homes, it might be just the loan you need.

What is a 203(k) Loan?

The FHA developed the 203(k) program to help revitalize homes throughout the country. This program provides insured loans that can be used to rehab, rebuild or modernize existing Florida homes.

What are the Benefits of a 203(k) Loan?

This is a one-stop loan, which means one loan finances both the purchase and rehabilitation of your property.

The mortgage amount is based on the projected value of the property after the work has been completed. The mortgage takes into account the cost of the rehab including labor charges, permits, drawings, etc. The mortgage can't exceed 110% of the "As Repaired Value."

FHA approved lenders can offer this program and it can be combined with other approved programs.

Who is Eligible for a 203(k) Loan?

This program is open to individuals as well as non-profit organizations.

What Properties are Eligible for 203(k) Loans?

The 203k loan can be used to purchase and rehab one- to four-family dwellings that have been completed for at least one year. For all the additional eligibility requirements, carefully review the “Eligible Property” section on the web page about 203(k) loans.

If you’re looking at Florida homes to buy, whether you’re using an FHA loan or not, we can help. Give us a call today at 407-876-5771.
