Tampa FHA 203K Mortgage Loan

The FHA 203k is offered by the Federal Housing Administration, via approved FHA lenders and allows homebuyers in Tampa to purchase a fixer-up property with as little as a 3.5% down payment.  This mortgage program is different than the standard FHA 203b loan. The 203K allows home buyers to purchase a home without using their own cash for improvements, instead, homebuyers can finance repairs and improvements into the mortgage loan.

When considering using this incredible FHA 203K renovation loan, it’s important to know there are two versions: the “streamlined” version, and the “full” version. Which version you will need depends on the total dollar amount you need for improvements and repairs, and the type of repairs and upgrades you will be doing.

FHA Streamline 203k

FHA’s Streamlined 203(k) program permits Tampa buyers to finance up to $35,000 into their mortgage to repair, improve, or upgrade their home. Homebuyers and homeowners can quickly and easily tap into cash to pay for property repairs or improvements, such as those identified by a home inspector or an FHA appraiser. Homeowners can make property repairs, improvements, or prepare their home for sale.  Homebuyers can make their new home move-in ready by remodeling the kitchen, painting the interior or purchasing new carpet

FHA Full 203k

The extent of the rehabilitation covered by Section 203(k) insurance may range from relatively minor (though exceeding $5000 in cost) to virtual reconstruction: a home that has been demolished or will be rebuilt as part of rehabilitation is eligible, for example, provided that the existing foundation system remains in place. Section 203(k) insured loans can finance the rehabilitation of the residential portion of a property that also has non-residential uses; they can also cover the conversion of a property of any size to a one- to four-unit structure.
