Can a 203K Loan be used to renovate my home I currently own or is it strictly for a new purchased home?

Pam S asked:


My home is 13 yrs old and I need more space. I want to add 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. I’m hearing it is cheaper to go out into the back yard with the addition rather than going up. I am pre-approved for a home equity loan but wondered if the 203K would allow for more money for the renovation.

    Have you considered moving into a new home?
    That’s what most people do.
    This saves tons of headaches with contractors.

    OTOH

    Going up with the remodel keeps your usable lot the same, important if you have/want kids.

    Plus moving is almost as stressful as a remodel plus the new house/neighborhood for the kids.

    FHA’s Streamlined 203(k) program permits homebuyers to finance up to an additional $35,000 into their mortgage to improve or upgrade their home before move-in. 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.

    Find out more about the Streamlined 203(k) program by reading HUD Mortgagee Letter 2005-50, enhancements to “Streamlined (K)” Limited Repair Program.
