Compare your options
When considering making updates to your home, it’s important to choose the home loan that meets your renovation goals and unique financial situation. Here’s a quick overview of the differences between FHA 203(k) and HomeStyle Renovation loans:
FHA 203(k)
- Down payment options as low as 3.5%.
- Ability to make required repairs plus optional improvements.
- Funds cannot be used for “luxury” updates.
- FHA requires that the improvements meet certain energy efficiency and structural standards.
- Streamline 203(k) maxes out at $35,000, while a Standard 203(k) doesn’t have that limit.
HomeStyle
- Down payment options as low as 3%.
- Property can be a primary residence, single-family dwelling, townhome, 1-4 unit multi-family dwelling, second home or investment property.
- All permanently affixed improvements are allowed, including “luxury” improvements.
- Updates must be completed within 15 months of closing your loan.
