I know… what is a 203k loan?? A 203k loan is HUDs way of trying to help home-buyers get into a home that needs some help, while giving them access to funds to rehabilitate the home. It is a tool that combines planning, nonprofit organizations that specialize in housing, and smart lending to deliver an end product that helps you as a homeowner.
Have you been looking for a home and can’t find just that right one? Sure, you could make repairs or remodel certain properties to make them exactly what you are looking for, but that takes upfront money. Enter – Section 203 (k) or 203k. The 203k loan enables you as a home-buyer to purchase a home, make qualified repairs to the home, or rehabilitate the home and roll the repairs and upgrade costs into the mortgage loan.
Per HUD’s website, “The Section 203(k) program is the Department’s primary program for the rehabilitation and repair of single family properties. As such, it is an important tool for the community and neighborhood revitalization and for expanding homeownership opportunities. Since these are the primary goals of HUD, the Department believes that Section 203(k) is an important program and we intend to continue to strongly support the program and the lenders that participate in it.” (www.hud.gov 2010)
