Program Overview

Colorado FHA 203(k) Renovation Loans

The FHA 203(k) is a flexible renovation loan that lets you finance the home and improvements with a single mortgage. Whether you’re buying a fixer-upper or refinancing to remodel your current home, we guide you through contractor bids, HUD consultant requirements, and the draw process so your project stays on track.

Key Benefits

  • » One loan, one closing for both purchase (or refinance) and renovations.
  • » Low 3.5% down payment based on the total project cost (purchase price + improvements).
  • » Increases property value by funding improvements up front.
  • » Expands your home search to include properties needing repairs.

Who is this for?

This loan may be a great fit if you meet the following general criteria:

  • » Buyers purchasing a primary residence that needs repairs or updates.
  • » Homeowners refinancing to include renovation costs in a new FHA loan.
  • » Borrowers who meet FHA’s standard credit, income, and down payment guidelines.
  • » Projects where the completed home will be owner-occupied.

These are general guidelines. Contact us for a personalized assessment. Not a commitment to lend.
