There are two that come to mind among others. The HomeStyle Renovation and the FHA 203(K) Renovation Loans.The HomeStyle Renovation is a one time-close loan that allows borrowers to purchase a home that is in need of repairs, or refinance the mortgage on their current home and include the required funds for renovation in the loan balance. The loan amount is based on the "after-completed" value of the home rather than the current value. You could also choose the FHA 203(K) Renovation Loan, this too allows you to purchase or refinance your main home and renovate it, all with one convenient loan. This loan lets a buyer/home owner to finance the cost of improvements into the purchase or refinance of the home. Some of the advantages to this program are:oLow down Payments - Only 3.5% down payment is requiredoUnderwriting terms are flexible - FHA can be more forgiving when it comes to the credit score oEligible Property Types - Single family residence and PUD's. Comdo's and 2 to 4 unit's properties can use the FHA 302(K) loan although, there could be some restrictions to its use. I am Elden Lewis with Guaranteed Rate in Indianapolis, IN.

Hello,
The FHA 203K loan is a great option. Allows you to finance in the cost of repairs and even many improvements into the loan at 96.5% of the loan amount so you are only coming in with 3.5%. There are some good interest rate choices which will cover all your closing costs.

Both Fannie Mae and FHA offer rehabilitation loans. You will want to talk to someone that is versed in doing these loans about your property and loan specifics to figure out which will be the best option for you.

Yes.. FHA has the 203K, and conventional has the HomeStyle renovation loan.. the conventional is the best way to go.. much less restrictions and lower fees..
