Rehab a Home with HUD's 203(k) Rehab Program
What Is a HUD 203(k) Loan and How is It Different:
Typically most lenders will not let you close on a loan unless the property is in satisfactory condition and adequate
for the use as collateral on a loan. So If it has been determined that major work needs to be performed those
improvements are generally required to be completed before a long term mortgage is provided. With a lack of
lenders for a potentially large market the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) a division of the Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) set up a 203(K) program in which it is that departments primary function to
aid with the repair and rehabilitation of homes. This is also considered a great way to demonstrate ones commitment
to the community. Over the years this program has been a vital tool in neighborhood revitalization programs while
expanding the opportunities for Home Ownership.

When a home buyer wants to purchase a house in need of repair or modernization, the home buyer usually
has to obtain financing to first purchase the dwelling then additional financing to do the construction and then a
permanent mortgage when the work is completed. Often the short time financing is at a higher interest rate than
normally available and are for short periods of time. The 203(k) Rehab Loan was designed to address this situation.
The borrower can get one loan to finance both the purchase and the rehab costs needed for the property. This type
of loan is available to a owner occupant or a qualified non profit borrower.

in the Rehab Escrow Account will not be released until the house is fixed onto its foundation.
