Are fha 203k ok to be used for adding a deck?

You can use a 203k loan to make many cosmetic improvements, including a deck. Many borrowers use the 203k to get new carpet, appliances, cabinets, countertops. It is not just for major renovations. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

A 203k loan can be used for adding a deck as long as the cost of the deck does not exceed the value of the house after the deck is completed. 203k loan amounts are based on the value of the home after improvements. So as long as you're not getting too fancy with a deck, and you're possibly buying the house under market value, a 203k loan may be the way to go.

Yes, a 203k loan can be used for adding a deck. If you are considering purchasing and using the 203k, then this would be the time to take a look at all of the improvements you might want to make and doing them all now. You didn't indicate how old the home is, but if you wanted to replace or upgrade things like flooring, paint, appliances, energy efficiency items like additional insulation or dual pane window are all things that can be done with a 203k loan. Depending on what you need or want, the time to roll them all into a new lower payment is now. ~ Bert Carpenter, The LoansA2z team of NOVA Home Loans ~ NMLS 40586 ~ Licensed in Arizona (AZLO0911876 / AZBK0902429), Washington (WALO40586 / WACL3087) and California (CADOC40586 / CAFLL6036566).

Yes a 203K loan can be used for adding a deck onto an existing home.

Yes, but it's not the best loan for that purpose.. FHA financing has the most expensive mortgage insurance of any loan product.. and if you do a 203K, then it gets even more expensive since you now have to hire an FHA consultant and you can only hire licensed / bonded contractors to do the work.. you cannot do it yourself. It's best you save up an extra 1% and go conventional financing using the HomeStyle renovation. with this loan, there is no consultant needed and the mortgage insurance is much less for well qualified borrowers.. in addition, once you pay MI for 24 months, and once you obtain 20% equity, you can contact your lender and request that the MI be removed, and you wont have to refinance to do it.. not the same with FHA.. their MI is for the life of the loan.

The simply answer is yes.

Yes you can

As you can see,, most of the answers are the same stating "Yes, you can!" but one thing I would is look into doing a signature loan for the deck. Another great option would be to do a 100% Utah housing loan and save your 4 percent to build the deck.Please call me at 4357648709 or go to my website at www.yourmortgageguy.us
