Finance Major Home Improvements with One Loan

The FHA 203(k) Standard Renovation Loan is designed for properties requiring significant repairs, structural improvements, or major renovations. Instead of securing separate financing for the purchase and construction costs, eligible borrowers can combine both into a single FHA mortgage. This approach simplifies financing, provides one monthly mortgage payment, and allows buyers to consider homes that may otherwise be overlooked because of their condition. Eligible renovation projects may include structural repairs, room additions, roof replacement, plumbing and electrical upgrades, HVAC improvements, foundation repairs, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, accessibility modifications, and other qualifying renovations. Jay carefully reviews your project, explains FHA requirements, and helps coordinate the financing process so you can move forward with confidence while understanding each stage of your renovation loan.
