If you’ve been passing up buying a home because it requires cosmetic repairs, FHA has a renovation program that provides funds for repairs and / or upgrades.
Not to be confused with the FHA Standard 203(k) program, the Limited 203(k) eliminates much of the paperwork and simplifies the process to obtain rehab funds. The primary function of the limited 203(k) program is to aid with those cosmetic or minor repairs (repair or replace, NO Structural repairs)
WHAT IS THE LIMITED 203(k) PROGRAM?
HUD has developed a new FHA insured mortgage program called the 203k Limited Repair Program that permits homebuyers to finance up to an additional $35,000 for TOTAL repair cost into their mortgage, to purchase and improve or upgrade the home before move-in, or to refinance an existing mortgage and add up to $35,000 for repairs or improvements. With this new product, homebuyers can quickly and easily tap into cash to pay for property repairs or improvements, such as those identified by a home inspector or FHA appraiser.
The following repairs can be financed with this program:
This program can also be used with the purchase of a HUD home, and in coordination with the Good Neighbor Next Door program.
