Buying a home that might need some improvements? The FHA 203(k) loan is like a mini construction loan bundled with your mortgage. If you're looking to roll in at least $5,000 of improvements – think paint, carpet, even bigger fixes like foundations – this loan might be your answer. It's all about beautifying your space while enjoying benefits like a low downpayment and flexible credit requirements. Keep in mind, though, not all lenders offer this option.
In this episode, we share that a HUD-approved consultant is in the mix, and while the perks are cool, there are extra fees and a potential 45 to 90-day waiting period due to inspections. So, hit up the link for approved lenders, chat with your realtor and local lender, and stick around for more insightful episodes with Jen.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Basics of FHA (Federal Housing Administration)
- Basics of HUD (Housing and Urban Development)
- Importance of finding approved lenders through the FHA website
- What are the extra fees involved
