203Ks - FHA Streamline Rehab Loan

HUD has developed an FHA insured mortgage, called the “Streamline (K)” Limited Repair Program that permits home buyers to finance up to an additional $35,000 into their mortgage to improve or upgrade their home before move-in.

With this product, home buyers can quickly and easily tap into cash to pay for property repairs or improvements, such as those identified by a home inspector or FHA appraiser.
