Your application paperwork
An FHA mortgage that rolls the cost of repairs or renovation into the loan to buy or refinance a home. The rehab work must total at least 5,000 dollars. You apply through an FHA approved lender, not a government office.

- Apply with that lender and choose Standard 203(k) (larger projects) or Limited 203(k).
- The lender brings in a HUD approved 203(k) consultant who prepares a work write-up and cost estimate.
- The lender underwrites, closes, and funds the loan, and the repair funds are released as the work is done.
Documents you will likely need
- Standard mortgage application documents (income, assets, credit).
- Contractor bids and a work write-up for the planned repairs.
- Information about the property you are buying or refinancing.
