This was an event Larry Bailey hosted on 2-10-2022. This was to walk through ideas and experiences of how the 203k loan program works, as well as how it worked for me. 

Some good information is as follows:

  • The Standard FHA 203(k) Mortgage may be used for remodeling and major repairs. There is a minimum repair cost of $5000 and the use of a 203(k) Consultant is required.
  • The minimum credit score is 600
  • Terms can be 10Yr., 15Yr., 20Yr., 25Yr., 30Yr. Fixed 5/1 Hybrid ARM
  • 1-2 Unit Primary Residence
  • Site Condominium
  • PUDs
  • Property must be an existing Property that has been completed for at least one year prior to the case number assignment date.
  • A Property that is not eligible for a 203(b) Mortgage due to health and safety or security issues may be eligible under 203(k) if the rehabilitation or repair work performed will correct such issues.
  • A Property with an existing 203(k) Mortgage is not eligible to be refinanced until all repairs are completed
